It was years ago, but I remember it like it was yesterday.
I happened almost every single day, after lunch or dinner.
It didn't matter what I ate--EVERYTHING seemed to cause it.
It would start with the rumbly, gassy feeling in my lower
abdomen. A gurgle, actually.
Then the bloated, stuffed feeling came. My stomach would
get so swollen and rock hard that I had to unbutton my
pants or skirt just to breathe.
I remember feeling so embarrassed when it happened at work
or when I was with friends. I even ended some dates early
because of it.
Next came the pain. A constant stabbing ache that would
often double me over in agony.
I would go to the restroom...but, nothing. Constipation.
This would go on for hours until I was finally able to
either have a bowel movement, or just ended up going to
sleep for the night.
That was my life.
Every single day.
I tried to not rely on laxatives or antacids because it
just didn't seem right that I would need medicine to create
false health. But I often had to, because it was unbearable.
I suspected it was something about what I was eating, but
I didn't know what.
Plus other people ate just like I did (actually a LOT
worse) and THEY didn't have the problems I was having.
It was so unfair. Why do THEY feel fine and I feel so
rotten?
Is that what I'm "sentenced" to for the rest of my life?

Does any of this hit home with you?
If so, I obviously understand. I've been there. And I
can help you.
Because that daily agony has been over for me for 16 years.
When I began correctly combining my meals (like I teach in
Great Taste No Pain), http://greattastenopain.com/great.asp
the pain went away instantly. And I do mean instantly.
That very day (September 19, 1992) was a miracle day for
me.
No pain. No bloating. No constipation. No medication.
And it continued the next day and the next day and the
next.
It's continued for the last 16 years. And feeling this
way is a joy I can hardly begin to describe.
When you no longer have bloating, pain and constipation,
you can enjoy yourself anywhere and anytime without
worrying if you'll have an "attack" and have to fly to the
bathroom.
You'll be able to wear whatever clothes you want (even
fitted pants or a dress) instead of sweats or loose-fitting
clothes to hide your bloated gut.
So no more looking like you're 7 months pregnant or
swallowed a basketball.
You'll have more energy too! Nothing the human body does
demands more energy than digestion. And in addition to
causing pain, bloating and constipation, eating miscombined
foods puts a huge stress on your stomach to digest
them...leaving you little energy for anything else. That's
why the wiped out feeling after meals. But no more.
When you eat foods that digest easily together, you have
all that energy for spending time with friends & family,
sports, taking classes, dancing or sex!
Your entire emotional state will change too. Instead of
feeling miserable, frustrated and hopeless because of your
health, you'll feel more lighthearted, happy and optimistic.
In a nutshell, you pretty much feel like you've been given
a new life.

Hi Sherry,
I've been having terrible problems with hormones
(sweating, etc.); then over the past year problems with
hypertension (my blood pressure fluctuated from 120 to over
200); I had joint pain, muscle aches, and headaches
(sometimes migraines) as well as some depression.
Well, we tried your four-day plan, Pain Free in 1 Day.
Wow! This is amazing! I've been reading the testimonies
of people who have tried it and found it a "life saver."
Even though I didn't have the problems some of the people
have had--I still had health problems.
My husband and I started the plan five days ago and have
been strictly following it. You are right, the food is
very good and I have enjoyed following the recipes you
provided. I've read all of the material you sent and want
to thank you for taking the time to correlate all of this
information and put it into something we can understand.
So far my arthritis has not bothered me and I've lost
about 4 pounds.
I had been retaining water and having a difficult time
losing- weight. I was taking Maxide for the water retention
and had terrible side effects, so I quit taking it. Now I'm
not retaining water, I feel great and (as you said and
others have also stated) I have energy and am thinking
clearly--it's amazing!
My husband has noticed that he doesn't have the acid
reflux he normally gets after eating (even though it wasn't
bad enough for medication he still had it).
I've prayed about direction for our diet and I knew
medication was not the answer. Finding your web site was a
blessing. Thank you again.
