If you grew up in the 60's and 70's like I did, you
remember the commercials for antacids that show a guy
clutching his stomach saying, "I can't believe I ate the
whole thing."
But the painful effects of a typical Western diet are
not limited to adults. The people clutching their stomachs
are getting younger each day.
And it has nothing to do with "eating the whole thing."
Researchers currently believe that as many as 7 million
children in the US alone have GERD/acid reflux.
These kids are being given drugs like Nexium, Prilosec,
Zantac and Protonix--as young as just 2 years old.
Powerful drugs given to little ones, creating patients for
life due to the side effects that require even MORE drugs
to combat.
Do you see something wrong with this picture?
It's impossible not to.
Lynn saw something wrong with it too. Her 10 year-old was
given drugs for gastritis and reflux, and told that her
diet made NO difference in her symptoms.
Good thing she knew enough to question her doctor's
advice. See what she writes:
*******************
Thank you so much Sherry!
My 10 year old daughter was beginning to develop chronic
abdominal pain over the last 2 years and it was
progressively getting worse. After a couple rounds of
antibiotics for illness she was really hurting. My husband
also has Crohn's disease so we were afraid she was going
down the same path.
After taking her to a pediatric GI and going through lots
of uncomfortable, expensive testing, we were told she has
gastritis and reflux. He gave us a prescription for an
acid reducer and told us to call back in 2 months.
I asked if there was any special diet to put her on to
relieve her pain. (I had already been giving her an acid
reducer and it wasn't helping.) I was told to let her eat
whatever didn't cause her pain and whatever she was hungry
for. (I paid $ XXXX.XX for this advice?)
Thank goodness I know how to connect on the internet. I
found your information and began your Great Taste No Pain
plan immediately.
Within 24 hours I began to see my cheerful, happy, school-
loving child again. It's very depressing to see a child
who once loved school feel so bad that she doesn't want to
play with friends or go to school anymore.
Thank you for giving us hope and a real plan of action and
most of all for an answer to relieve pain. I'll write
again when I get the husband on board!
Bless You!
Lynn from Oklahoma

Lynn didn't specify which acid reducer her daughter was
given, but it doesn't matter. Acid reducers don't help
gastritis or reflux. They do, however, make the problem
worse because they neutralize the acid your stomach needs
to digest proteins.
When your foods are not broken down by the stomach like
they should be, the result is gas, bloating, abdominal
pain, constipation and diarrhea.
Check the box or literature that comes with most acid
reducing medicines and you'll see those are typical side
effects.
What mainstream doctors will never tell you is that
reflux/GERD is nearly 100% avoidable. All you need to do
is normal amounts of food, combine the foods you eat
properly and make a higher percentage of your foods
alkaline producing instead of acid producing foods.
That is it.
When you eat foods together that are compatible in the
stomach (that require complimentary digestive enzymes)
digestion is completed with just the right amount of acid--
no more.
That means no excess acid to rise up in your throat or to
irritate your stomach lining--so no more reflux or
gastritis symptoms.
Plus, when your foods are digested like they should be,
your wastes move through your intestines and "out the door"
much easier too, with no gas and bloating.
Goodbye cramps and buttons ready to pop on your pants--
hello pain-free meals and a flat stomach!
And here's yet another benefit of eating for low acidity:
More energy.
You see, nothing the human body does demands more energy
than digestion. So when your stomach is sapping all your
energy trying to digest acid-forming, badly combined foods,
you can barely keep your eyes open.
Lynn mentioned that her daughter didn't want to play with
friends anymore. The primary reason why is that she was
wiped out.
But when you eat foods together that are digested easily,
you have energy GALORE for things like exercising,
entertaining, seeing a movie, walking the dog, dancing or
even romance.
Wouldn't THAT be a nice change from your current routine?
Young or old, it's not normal or right to rely on acid
reducers to get through the agony caused by eating.
See what an enormous difference it can make to eat low-
acid, smart food combinations.
My manual "How To End Stomach Pain Forever, Even If Your
MD Says, 'No Way!'" shows you the science behind good food
combining and why it works so well for everyone--young or
old.
And "What To Eat With What" spells out what you can eat
with all your favorite foods to make all your meals pain-
free.

Hello Sherry,
I want to tell you about my experience with Gerd. I had
suffered for many years with heartburn, loose stools with
severe burning afterwards, severe attacks of gas.
I got to the point I could not eat the simplest and
mildest foods. I was given several of the prescription
medicines which were not working. I had started to think
that maybe I had cancer.
In desperation I went on line in search for ANYTHING that
might help me. I thank God that I found your web site. I
tried your four day plan and by the time I had finished it
I knew that I had found blessed relief.
I ordered your plan and have been on it for almost a year.
I would tell anyone it is worth changing a few things about
the way you combine your foods to get relief. It is not a
sacrifice to me anymore to change my habits. I still can
enjoy birthday cake and special occasions as long as I get
right back on the plan.
I tell everyone about this great plan and when I told my
doctor about this he just looked at me with a puzzled look
and asked me if I had to take any pills or medicine with
it. I was very happy to tell him a big NO.
THANK YOU again Sherry for being there when I was looking
for help.
Dorothy in Texas
