DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS

It's the worst kind of pain to have. I should know. Years ago I was in the hospital for a week with my bleeding colitis. Doctors say there isn't a cure. Just like on a recent episode of the "The Doctors" in November 2008 where a gal who has suffered from intestinal pain, constipation and diarrhea for 15 years "The Doctors" ran the usual tests including a Sigmoidoscopy which looked great and still told her to take over-the-counter acid reflux pills, eat more fiber and drink more water. Why did they bother having her on the show? They didn't help her a bit. They did no blood work, they didn't inquire into what or how she was eating. What they did was show was exactly what you get from a doctor's visit. A five minute interview and a vague answer and a prescription. I was livid watching this!
Instead of subjecting yourself to drugs and modifying your diet, I share more uncommon info on the subject and easy suggestions for lasting results. You won't find these in the latest issue of Cosmo, Muscle and Fitness or the show "The Doctors".......
I researched and actively live by this solution of proper food combining. You get fast results. Since I came across someone who already beat me to writing this up (namely Sherry Brescia) and because I know it works, I am choosing to endorse her product, Great Taste No Pain, and here's my review of it.
REVIEW of the "Great Taste No Pain" approach...
**************************
Quick Description
**************************
With more than 1 out of 3 adults in the US (70 million) taking OTC or prescription pills for digestive disorders and the pain associated with them, as a nation, we have serious health problems. And we're spreading our problems around the world.
What most people are frustrated with is that even if they eat how most health professionals consider to be 'healthy', a large percentage of people STILL experience digestive problems. And so most people resort to drugs, surgery or eating bland foods. Or they just continue to suffer.
This simple eating system is designed to dramatically reduce the acid pH measure in a person's entire body -- not just in the stomach. It does so by increasing the ratio of alkaline forming foods eaten and by showing you how to combine foods in a way that radically decreases the amount of acid digestive juices in the stomach and small intestines required to break down foods -
which is the primary component of the science of food combining.
A basic knowledge of Junior High chemistry is all it takes to see the logic behind this science: Mixing foods that require alkaline digestive enzymes with foods that require acid digestive enzymes slows and can even stop the digestive process. It delays digestion by as much as 10 hours and more and that spells discomfort, not just of the digestive tract but can present itself in other forms of pain as well. Arthritis, migraines, fibromyalgia and more. This proper food combining approach helps alleviate these problems, and allows your body to absorb nutrients from foods at a much higher level.
One of the short manuals,'Foods That Create Acid, Foods That Take It Away,' is a simple guide for your body to use a minimum of energy in the digestion process, which leaves more energy for healing and other daily functions your body carries out.
Sherry Brescia, like myself, was a former Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Colitis sufferer. In fact, in 1991, she spent 7 days in the hospital with bacterial colitis, again, just like I did.
As a health insurance researcher and Chief Underwriter, she was able to research the benefits of an alkaline- balanced body and over the next 15 years perfected the system she now calls Great Taste No Pain.
She meshed a number of philosophies proven to help alkalize the body to create this simple system that anyone can follow regardless of where they are or what food choices they have available to them.

What I Like:
**************************
Taste: Unlike most restrictive diets, Great Taste No Pain cannot actually be called a diet, because it allows you to eat luscious, delicious food as long as you combine it according to a few simple guidelines. Perhaps the greatest news for people who love to eat is that the wonderfully organized 176 page recipe book in the system is stuffed with breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks that are unbelievably tasty. No rabbit food. Gourmet all the way, yet the meals (if you like to cook) only take between 15 and 30 minutes of prep time. So you can throw away the belief that you can't eat healthy on a super-busy schedule.
Speed:You don't have to read 300+ pages before learning what to do. In the first guide, it provides a brief background on the science and then quickly moves onto the step-by-step 'how to.'
Simplicity: The second Guide there is a massive compilation of every kind of food that you could possibly put in your mouth, along with the corresponding foods that combine perfectly with it for easy comfortable digestion, and those foods that don't combine well.
Eating Out: Traveling is the one thing that can ruin even the healthiest eaters, so, included is a 'Pocket Guide For Pain-Free Dining Out.' Use it until you understand and remember what combines with what so you can eat and
enjoy the rest of your day, pain-free.
Meat: While meat is not something people with digestive issues usually tolerate well on a daily basis (hence pain), the problem isn't so much the meat as it is what you eat with the meat.
That is why each of the Guides in the system, including the recipe book, lists every possible food you can combine with meats without suffering. Also, broccoli, lettuce, cucumbers and other veggies that can create havoc suddenly will not.
Fruit: Ask anyone that suffers stomach problems about fruit and you'll hear horror stories. So sadly, the most perfect food on the planet is shunned by a huge part of our world's population. You will soon learn why fruit causes you trouble and how to easily change that. You CAN eat fruit again.
While each Guide in the system is detailed and complete, they are written in the clearest language possible so that any 11 year old could teach it (my daughter is)!

Crohn's, Gastritis, Colitis, IBS, Diverticulitis, Bloating, Constipation, Diarrhea:
**************************
There is no "cure" for most digestive problems, because the names doctors give to the ailments of the digestive tract are not diseases at all. They are symptoms brought on by eating the wrong foods in the wrong combinations.
For example, let's say you've got Diverticulitis or Crohn's. Great Taste No Pain can help you overcome the symptoms created by improper food combining.
Just note, if you start eating like you used to, guess what? Yep, the symptoms will come back. You see, the principles that Great Taste No Pain is based on are sound. They work for everyone. But if you think that because you've been symptom-free for a long time, think again. Go against these principles of easy digestion, and the problem can come back with a vengeance. Remember, good health comes from living a healthy lifestyle, not a "do it once and you're fixed" approach.
**************************
Conclusion:
**************************
When I began following the system, I personally was amazed at the amount of energy I had, even late into the evening. I had no discomfort, no bloating, I didn't feel the need to eat again within an hour, no need for caffeine between meals and I lost weight and am keeping it off without trying.
Professionally and personally, my strong recommendation is that for anyone who wants more energy, sounder and longer sleep, migraine headaches to stop almost immediately, pain from gastritis and acid reflux to stop almost instantly, random and seemingly unrelated, unexplainable pains, and of course, the direct pain of digestive problems to stop or be reduced dramatically, get over to:
Often it just takes one properly combined meal to kick start your relief. After you have been following it for a week or more, feel free to let me know how you like it. I personally believe that anyone who adopts this simple, enjoyable food combining method will reap far reaching health benefits.
This information does not tout popping pills or enzymes, it just deals with plain and simple food combining. It has helped every single client who has come to me with digestive problems and I am recommending it because I use it myself, I was in the hospital years ago and went through the same hopeless scenario that Sherry Brescia's doctors painted for her. My father-in-law had Crohn's, my husband had colitis, my 11 year old had IBS, my other relatives and hundreds of past clients had a myriad of digestive disorders and unexplainable pain as well. This is the easiest, least expensive tool you can use for the rest of your life and it does not involve pills!
