Constipation Bloating, IBS, Crohn’s – Stop Suffering
Here’s a heartwarming story of parents that finally found an answer to their 7 year old son’s digestive issues.
Here’s their story:
Thank you!
Out of desperation for the health of our son (7 years old) and a willingness to try anything that appeared to be healthy, we ordered your
“Great Taste No Pain” program.
About one week later, here’s what I can report so far: He is now a normal kid with a healthy appetite. Big deal, right?
This year alone (from Jan 2008) he missed 23 days of school. His pediatrician kept claiming he had a “flu bug” that was going around that was especially bad this year.
During his worst episode, in which he went 4 days without food and with very little water, we took him to a gastro doctor. She prescribed Miralax claiming he was constipated.
My wife and I were astonished. Constipated? He went through 4 days of pure agony – 27 bouts of diarrhea – 6 bouts of vomiting. How could he be constipated?
She also later did a scope from both ends and found no disease or entangled intestines – just some acid “burns” in the stomach. Of course she recommended Prevacid and to stay away from citrus and spicy foods.
Her numerous biopsies did show some allergies. The allergist found a lactose intolerance and cited minor findings of other food allergies. Our first visit with him seemed promising, but the second visit only got confusing.
With his level of allergies, his severe symptoms could not be explained. Back to the gastro doctor. Over time and between the 2 doctors “treating” him, we got prescriptions for Singulair, Xygal, an asthma inhaler, Prevacid and
Pentasa.
After these didn’t work, they wanted us to up the dosage. The pharmacist even commented about the excessively high dosage.
My son’s symptoms, especially looking back, were terrible. Never a good eater, never wanting to go to the bathroom, bouts of violent diarrhea and vomiting, bouts of the agony of bloating and constipation, long periods of inactivity, and asthma attacks that always seemed to coincide with his
digestive issues, which we noticed, but the doctors quickly dismissed once they ruled out Crohns and Celiac.
During the worst and last of these episodes, I even had the worst thoughts imaginable – that my son can’t keep any food in him and the doctors are helpless – can he even survive like that? I seriously talked with him about the
things of God and what he specifically needs to do to prepare for eternity.
My son has been diagnosed with many different things. Thank God he doesn’t have any of these things. And thank God (and you) for the work you do.
After 3 days of your 4 day plan, my son was feeling good and he now eats more than me. We stopped all the medications. In just 8 days, he’s eating like a horse, he’s playing like I’ve never seen, he’s going to the bathroom without being forced into it.
So far, so good. Our family loves your recipes and we’ve all taken to the plan.
Just thought you’d like to know – there’s a family in Wisconsin who greatly appreciates the help from this program…

SB: Dave, I’m speechless (and my eyes are filled with tears). Thanks so much for sharing your story, and please give your son a big hug for me. May you ALL enjoy great health.
As Dave’s story shows, adults are not the only ones who suffer the effects of eating the wrong foods. Most kids don’t have the severe stomach symptoms Dave’s son had, but instead the effects come out in other ways with them–ADD, ADHD, depression, allergies, obesity and headaches, to name
a few.
For your sake and your kids’, you must feed your body the way it’s meant to be fed–The right foods eaten with the right other foods. It’s a simple formula, the food is delicious, and you’ll be astonished at how great you (and your kids) feel.
