As a retired gastrointestinal RN I was very skeptical about this program.

However, I felt miserable enough and was so tired of sleeping sitting up that I decided to try this new way of eating.  I was on the "white coat treadmill" as well and desperately wanted off.

I tried your program and was pain free in 4 days.  My Irritable Bowel Syndrome noticeably improved so I decided to go with the full program.  It has worked miracles.

I must admit I went off the program and ate a badly combined meal and boy did I suffer the consequences!!

I'm hooked!  Thank you for your concern for others who are so burdened by these many problems.  It's such a shame that so many people have had to suffer for so many years when the answer is so simple and so inexpensive.

I wish I could go back to all my patients and relay this information to them.  However, I probably would have gotten fired as the medical profession takes a dim view of people wanting to find a healthy alternative to their problems without drugs and expensive medical procedures.

Thanks again for this extremely valuable information.

Since following Great Taste No Pain...I've seen light at the end of the tunnel of my health problems.

My muscular and bone disorders (fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis) have really improved, as well as my lower intestinal problems (swinging from diarrhea to constipation frequently, depending on what I'd eaten).

I began having arthritis problems in my 20's and am now 70 years old, so who would have thought diet and combining meals differently could influence that so drastically?

Keep on helping all of us that had about given up hope of ever freeing ourselves from the pharmaceutical slavery!

God bless you!

I am writing to you after eating the Great Taste No Pain way for a week.

My problems began at the age of 10, a couple of months after moving from Poland to Germany. I had no energy and felt lethargic till mid afternoon, even though all tests were negative.

I was eating what I thought was healthy food but I had frequent stomach aches, constipation, gas, and felt miserable. It continued into my adult life and just became a part of me since I didn't want to take any pills.

After reading your book everything comes together and makes sense. Growing up in communist Poland with farm fresh food and limited access to meat, we frequently ate the right combination of foods. (I saw that there are even some traditional Polish recipes included in your book.)

I see how the food combinations in Germany and the USA affected me and my digestive system. It took all my energy to digest breakfast, then after a couple of hours my energy went up just to be muffled by another lunch mis-combination.

I can't tell you how great I felt after the first day of Great Taste No Pain! By the second day I was zooming around getting stuff done in the early morning which was so unusual for me, and I had lots of energy all day long. Plus no pain, gas, belching or burping whatsoever!

Thank you for another benefit I noticed--my breath smells much better now.

Thank you again Sherry for writing this book and giving me back a pain free life!

My name is Ava Barrett and I am nearly 60 years old. For the past two years I have suffered problems with my digestion.

I have been diagnosed with gall stones, hiatal hernia and GERD and prescribed antacids and a proton pump inhibitor called Lansoprazole. My doctor made me believe my condition was quite trivial and just told me to take the medication when I needed it.

I am sure the medication made matters worse and I reached the point where I just did not know what to eat because literally everything I ate gave me pain and made me so uncomfortable.

In desperation I went on the internet and came across your site. I was interested immediately as the idea appealed to me much more than taking drugs for the rest of my life.

I tried your system and found it worked almost immediately. Thank you so much.

- Ava Barratt, England

I am a 65 yr. old mother and grandmother who has suffered bloating, painful gas (from both ends of the system), allergies, diverticulosis and elevated cholesterol all of my adult life.

I recently even had a stent placed in one of my coronary arteries.

I thank God every day since I found your site and have been following Great Taste No Pain.
My results include:
1. gas and pain free living
2. increased energy
3. improved sleep pattern
4. no mid-night urination
5. improved sense of taste
6. no itching or running nose or cough
7. more alert and forgetting less
8. eating 2 to 3 times the amount of food and weighing 3 lbs. less

...and this is only my 2nd week of following the program.

Thank you for providing me with the tools necessary for improving the quality and, I hope length, of my life.

No doubt in my mind that it was Divine Providence that your amazing program caught my attention.

For the past 17 years, I have suffered from diverticulitis, to the point that I was "sick" and on almost total bed rest for weeks on end. My own medical doctor would give me the usual treatment of heavy anti-biotics, clear diet (broth/jello) until things would "settle down."

Never once did he inform me that it was my poor choices in not only what I was eating, but as important - what I was eating together.

My last bout of the diverticulitis was no sooner "treated" the traditional way when it came back with a vengeance on the rebound - the very first time I unknowingly violated your common sense rules on eating and dietary choices.

Since following your system, I have not had an episode of diverticulitis, needed any medication for "treating" it, lost weight without any hunger and most importantly - I canceled my surgery for bowel reconstruction.

I am well on my way to regaining an Alkaline/Acid balance that will support long term vitality by following your recommendations.

In a way I feel I should be mad at my doctor for not knowing the importance of eating properly and what never to mix together, but then I realize he was never trained in health - his skills are in treating sickness, which means drugs and then surgery when drugs invariably fail.

God has given us all brains and we need to train those brains to seek natural remedies for the many illnesses that confront our society.

Your insights into diets, proper food orders and delicious recipes should be mandatory study in medical schools - then we would have a lot more "health care professionals" treating us proactively in good health and nutrient habits and less drugs and surgery.

Today is my fourth day of Great Taste No Pain and I have never felt better.

No Nexium twice daily, I have not taken a Buscopan for bloatedness and no Dulcolax for constipation.

On the second day I had the first stool naturally since I cannot even remember.

The program is such an easy one and I don't feel hungry at all.

Thank you so much Sherry. Lots a love and keep up the good work.

- Mari-Anne

Like you, I had no idea that there was anything wrong with my diet (full of fruit and vegetables, complex carbs, white meat, oily fish and loads of water). So it really wasn't difficult to correctly combine my food but the difference was amazing.

The first day using Great Taste No Pain, I didn't fall asleep after lunch - I had come to believe that was just a consequence of getting older. I got more done that day and was able to relax in the evening knowing I'd done all that I needed to do.

The following morning I woke up after a sound sleep - before, I didn't realize it was abnormal to be awake several times a night.

The following days just got better, more energy, feeling freer, lighter and sleeping like a baby at night. I'm now looking forward to dropping my excess weight because I'm sure that will follow as I get more used to this way of eating.

Your recipe book is on my kitchen counter so I can dip into it and learn how to produce meals using our favourite foods. Thank you. God bless,

I'm 39 years old and I was diagnosed with GERD a month and a half ago. My doctor prescribed Nexium for me to take THE REST OF MY LIFE! I was shocked because he was so nonchalant about it. I don't take any medications and don't want to.

I took the Nexium for a month and went to another doctor for advice. He told me that people take Nexium all their lives, but that just didn't seem right to me. So I took myself off the drug.

The first day off the Nexium I had a terrible feeling in my throat and the acid at the back of mouth made my tongue raw, even when I didn't eat.

Rather than waste any more money on doctors, I went looking for relief on the web and found your site.

After the first day of your Pain Free in One Day guide, I felt better but still had the raw tongue.

On the second day I had more energy and my tongue was feeling much better.

On the third day, I still felt good, better than I ever did on Nexium, but I was sluggish. I figured it was just my body detoxing.

Today, is the fourth day and I will NEVER go back to eating the way I had before. I already ordered your complete system.

I no longer have craving for sweets like I did before. Before I would eat and eat and seemed to never get full. I now realize it was my body begging me for the right nutrients.

Now, with your eating plan, I have no hunger cravings. I don't even want to snack. I don't feel the NEED to eat chocolate. I have more patience with my children and more energy. I sleep like a rock and wake up feeling like I have rested--not tired and sluggish like before.

I am never going back to my old way of eating. I am amazed at how easy your system is.

I was thrilled to realize that I could have the spicy Mexican food that I love and grew up with, if I just combine it properly. I can't thank you enough.

- Christine Granados

I have suffered with stomach problems all my life.

I have gone from one doctor to another to end the pain I feel each and every day. I am a health nut...exercise daily, eat healthy foods, avoid sweets, etc. I am 5'8'' and between 125-130 lbs. I look good but feel terrible.

When I read your information I thought I may as well give it a try. I've tried hundreds of things in the past...I have always believed that one day I'd find a solution for my pain.

I am ecstatic to say the least! Your program works.

For the first time I can enjoy a meal and feel great after I eat--no pain, no bloating, no stomach cramps. I feel great!

I am so thankful for the information you have provided me. I love your recipes...my family enjoys them also. With 7 children it is difficult to find meals all will enjoy.

Thank you for making an incredible difference in my life!

- Debbie

I downloaded the Quick Start guide and decided that I wanted to 'test drive' it first before I got it for my 87 year-old mother-in-law.

I too have had what I like to call "issues" on occasion along with regular heartburn and stomach cramps.

It has been about a week now and I am heartburn free, no stomach cramps, no more "issues." And no hunger pangs which I find the most amazing.

Usually I would have a meal with meat and potatoes and a vegetable, dessert, and drink a big glass of milk. And then an hour or so later be looking for something to nibble on.

Now I eat according to your instructions and do not have a desire for any dessert or even think about food.

I have passed this along to my mother-in-law with the "Great Taste No Pain" recipe book just recently. She has totally embraced this way of eating and is starting to feel better.

I am so grateful to you and the research you have done and that you are sharing it in order to help so many people who have digestion issues.

- Judy Hummel

I have had some irritable bowel symptoms most of my life--constipation, pain after eating certain foods. I feel loads better already after following your system and one huge benefit, let me know if I'm crazy, I have marked decrease in joint and muscle aches and pain. I'm in good shape for 52 but I ached! Especially when I got out of bed in the morning. Thank you for your great work! Oh, by the way, we love Sherry's outrageously delicious spaghetti sauce!

Back in 1976 I had 63 1/2 in. of intestines removed due to Crohn's disease. I was OK after that until in 2002, due to dysfunctioning thyroid, they put me on Synthroid. That started the whole ball rolling.

I started with one intestinal blockage after the other. For five years, I was very ill and in bed most of the time, nearly losing my life several times.

I was at the Mayo Clinic in October 2007 for testing. They found my whole system was highly inflamed and ulcerated. They tried to put me on two different medicines which I couldn't tolerate.

On March 19, 2008, I was rushed to the hospital and immediately hooked up to an IV. They said that if it was one day later, I would have been a goner.

The surgeon said he did not want to operate, so he put me on Prednisone. I was released on Saturday March 22nd and by the next Tuesday, I was getting side effects from the Prednisone.

On Thursday March 27th, we heard you on our local radio show and immediately I called up your website. What you said made sense to me and when I read your website, I ordered your system.

Starting Saturday March 29th, I began your eating plan. Needless to say, I began feeling better by the second day and as long as I stay on your plan, I am free of all pain and discomfort.

I now know that this is God's plan for me and I will stick with it. I will follow your system and know that I will be healed for the rest of my time.

When I go back to the Mayo Clinic, I intend to tell the doctor I want off the meds. Believe me, there will be no replacement meds either.

By the way, I am 73 years old. I love your recipes and really don't mind giving up the old way of eating. Especially when I can eat and not have any more of the pain and discomfort.

Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge with all of us.

On March 30, 2007 I became very sick. My hands became numb and it was very difficult to breathe. I had pain in my neck and throat and tightness in my chest. The left side of my stomach was very achy and swallowing was very difficult.

At the hospital, I got checked for diabetes, heart problems, brain tumor, thyroid disease, and all the tests were normal. The doctors concluded I was having an anxiety attack.

Over the next 2 months the symptoms got more intense, and the doctors gave me sleeping pills and anti-depressants.

I moved out of Canada for 3 months and went to Belize, where my sister is a doctor. She immediately did an endoscopy and a stomach ultrasound, and found that I had gastritis, H. Pylori Bacteria, and gallstones.

I was put on antibiotics plus Nexium and H2 blockers, and after three weeks, I had my gallbladder removed. I had to repeat the antibiotics, Nexium and H2 blockers for 2 more weeks.

In August 2007, I came back to Canada, and my doctor here wanted me to take Prevacid, Motilium, and Ranitidine indefinitely. I did it for 1 month, but my belching, diarrhea, and tightness on my chest and throat barely improved with the medicines. So, I decided to try natural measures and vitamins.

I also wanted to change my diet, but I needed the advice of an expert on what kind of diet would be suitable for me since I don't have a gallbladder anymore.

I saw your website and immediately downloaded your program and I am glad I did because since I have been following it, I am free of throat and chest pain, and have no more embarrassing episodes of belching and diarrhea.

Thank you Sherry for helping me. God bless you.

I eat what is considered a healthy diet by most standards but have always suffered with fatigue.

I'm slender and appear healthy looking but was often tired and sluggish and did not want to artificially energize myself with caffeine or sweets.

Looking at your program, I noticed that even though I eat healthy choices, I eat in a VERY, VERY mis-combined way.

Since re-combining my choices based on Sherry's manuals, the fatigue has lifted and I am also enjoying a boost in mental clarity. Luckily I have not suffered with intestinal or digestive issues in the past, but I feel I've been compromising my health and energy by eating a diet that is much too high in acid.

It appears also that I've been over-working, over-stressing my body's digestion with a confused cocktail of acid and alkaline foods. No wonder I've been tired.

Now that all my energy is not tied up in an overwhelmed digestion process, I am for the first time in decades feeling alert and awake. Thank you.

From my mid-thirties on, I weighed between 71 and 74kg (156-163 lbs). This was serious, considering that even after having 3 children, I never gained weight. I was always slim.

I hated the way I looked with all the rolls of fat around my stomach, back and other areas. I exercised fairly often, but that didn't do anything for me in terms of losing weight.

I also had problems with my digestive system. I ate mostly fruit every morning until lunch time, drank water religiously, lots of herbal tea, and ate lots of vegetables, so I really thought I ate healthy. So what the problem was, I could not figure out.

As a teenager I never got any breakouts, but in my thirties, I started getting bad skin. For the first time in my life, I needed to go for facials every month, but that never solved my problems.

Last year, a beautician told me that my problem was due to digestion, but she could not explain why. So I couldn't solve anything.

When I came across your Great Taste No Pain way of life, I could see that every night I was having bad combinations of food. So in the morning, I felt bad, my stomach was full, my breath was bad, gas was a big problem, and I was always constipated.

I converted to your way of life in January 2008. I started to lose weight, and have continued to do so. Now I weigh 64kg (140 lbs). Everybody at work says I look too skinny, and should stop the 'diet.' I'm going to buy new clothes instead of changing my lifestyle!

I love those great recipes in your Great Taste No Pain recipe book. Every weekend I go shopping for all those wonderful vegetables and fruits, (South Africa has plenty of these every season) and I cook. I am loving it!!

I must say that at 45 going on 46 years old, I look and feel great, and my skin has improved.

Now I am trying to convert everyone to this way of life. Thanks.

- Sipiwe Mashingaidze

Thank you, you are my guardian angel from now on.

For years I experienced the uncomfortable and embarrassing problem of gas. It would rip whenever and wherever--in the car, at home or even in the boardroom.

I have never eaten processed foods before and even though I love my steak, vegetables and grains were also part of my daily life. In fact, everybody called me Mr. Healthy, so I could not understand the GAS.

I bought your system Friday February 22nd, read through the downloadable docs, applied the 4 day trial and voila...no more gas issues, no more embarrassment and no more discomfort.

So what can I say--thank you, thank you and thank you.

- Ricardo Freyneau

I had to write you and tell you of the success I have had since using the food combining principles I learned in your Great Taste, No Pain book. I had always had discomfort after eating, felt bloated, tired, stomach pain etc...but had grown accustomed to dealing with the discomfort. I didn't realize how much pain I was actually in until I changed how I combined my food.

The wonderful part of what I've learned through your book is that you don't have to give up anything as long as you combine it properly. Another wonderful, but not so expected outcome was weight loss. I have always battled with my weight, and since using your techniques for the last couple months I have been able to lose over 20 lbs without any additional exercise than I had been doing previously. I am now the size and shape that is right and healthy for my body. My body feels better, lighter, ENERGIZED!!!! I just can't imagine EVER going back to the way I ate before.
A Faithful Follower,

- Jill Stevenson

You have changed my life! Thank you.

At first I admit I was skeptical about your plan but no longer!

I have dealt with acid reflux for years. I always have had tightness in my chest and feeling I could not get enough air to breathe. I was taking Prevacid and eating Tums like candy but not feeling any better.

I ended up in the hospital because of the chest tightness and my doctor wanted to make sure I wasn't having a heart attack. When I was released I was told to double up on the Prevacid which I did, but it made me feel worse than before.

It took about six days on Great Taste No Pain to rid my body of all the toxins because my stomach was so messed up, but each day has been an improvement. I quit the Prevacid the first day I started your plan. The tightness in my chest is gone and I can breathe!

Thank You again.

- Ruth Wilson

I am on day 4 of Great Taste No Pain. I am experiencing a calmness from my G.I. tract that I have never experienced before.

I never realized how much energy I used up coping with the pain, bloating, gas and discomfort of poor digestion.

I have had lifelong problems with what had been diagnosed as IBS & GERD and taken every med in the book. I've had colonoscopies, endoscopies, etc. I take Nexium every day along with Zantac to decrease stomach acid.

I have not needed the Zantac since I started your program. I believe this will change my life. Now I have no heaviness after dinner. No avoiding social situations because of the cramps & gas. No pain. I feel more energized, calm, and a feeling of wellbeing.

This way of eating has never been mentioned by my Gastroenterologist, and yet it is so simple.

- Sylvia Flores

I'm 55 and have always had a "cast iron stomach"... until the last few years. Mostly I've dealt with weight gain, but the bad abdominal bloating after meals has been the real suffering.

It didn't seem to matter what amounts I ate, either--I'd blow up like a balloon and be from uncomfortable to miserable for hours afterward.

But just after a day--one day!--of trying your way of eating, the bloating is NOT HAPPENING. I feel satisfied, not overstuffed. I'm not getting the hours of misery. Truly amazing!

Thank you for bringing this message to us sufferers.

- Debra Henshaw

I have been using your system for the past three weeks, and I feel great. No bloatedness or acid and your recipes are very tasty. I can't believe that I can eat almost anything I like as long as I combine the foods properly.

I have lost 3 kilos (6 1/2 pounds). Before I couldn't lose any, although I am a very healthy eater. This is like a miracle.

I'd like to thank you for all your hard work which I have the privilege in sharing your knowledge.

Yours sincerely,

- Sue Lee

I have been following your plan for a week now. I am a fifty-two year old woman and I already eat very healthy and go to the gym three to four days a week. I don't normally have digestion problems except constipation.

I was diagnosed with osteoporosis a year and a half ago. Since then I have been taking calcium supplements everyday and it had been a constant juggling of calcium and fiber to keep me from getting constipated which then causes hemorrhoids to flare up.

I had been taking a stool softener at night and then fiber of some kind in the morning or during the day.

My husband is the one that bought Great Taste No Pain because he has digestive problems all the time. I decided to try it out not really believing that it would make that much difference in my constipation because I eat normally the foods you are suggesting. I just had not ever heard of combining them properly.

So I stopped taking my fiber and stool softeners and started your four day plan which I've been on for a week, to see if it made a difference.

I am very pleased to say that I have not had to take anything for constipation and have had regular bowel movements every morning all week.

I also love having a cookie or something for dessert or a snack. I have not had a craving for anything sweet all week and really haven't been hungry in between meals much. I have tried your recipes and found them delicious. I have also dropped a couple of pounds.
