These reports showed thousands of unneeded and incorrectly prescribed antacids, anti-spasmodics, pain relievers, tranquilizers and muscle relaxers for patients food digestion troubles.

In medical charts, it was almost unheard of to see any physician suggest changes to a person's diet as a solution, other than recommending bland foods or avoiding greasy or spicy foods. I was dumbfounded by the number of people who just dutifully took their drugs every day without ever knowing what the real answer was or the harm they were doing to their bodies and their minds by taking these powerful drugs.

I understand agonizing stomach problems in the digestion system. I had 20 years' hands-on experience with it. It's in my family history - my father guzzled Maalox like water. I existed for over 20 years with frequent and eventually daily debilitating stomach pain due to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).

I ate a supposedly healthy diet. I avoided junk food and fast food. I exercised regularly and kept my weight down. I didn't smoke, do drugs, or drink more than an occasional glass of wine.

It didn't matter.

In my teen years my digestive system went haywire, and by my early twenties I was in agony every day of my life. I was plagued with balloon-like bloating of my stomach, excruciating cramps, embarrassing gas, and to make matters worse...either the most painful diarrhea or agonizing constipation.

Every single day, every single week, every single month.

By 1992, I had done everything the doctors and experts told me to do to solve my problems. But they didn't get better. They got worse.

I woke up in unbearable agony one Sunday morning after having extreme stomach pain the night before. I managed to crawl out of bed, reach the phone on all fours, and call my sister for help. She rushed over and immediately drove me to the emergency room.

I was laid up in the hospital for seven long days, fed intravenously the whole time.

All that time I couldn't help hoping that I would finally get some answers. After seven days of embarrassing and dehumanizing tests, they showed I had contracted bacterial colitis and I was given the diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

"At last," I thought. My problem had a name. And now modern medicine could fix it, right? Wrong.

My gastroenterologist merely handed me a pill sample and a prescription for an anti-spasmodic medication (Donnatal) to be taken 30 minutes before every meal. "For how long?" I asked, thinking that maybe - just maybe - I'd finally be cured.

"Indefinitely," he replied. The drug could do nothing more than control the symptoms.

But I learned 16 years ago what I was doing wrong and how it affected my digestion and my health for nearly all of my life. It was only a small change, but it made all the difference. These small changes are what I now teach and it has made all the difference in the world to people all over the world.

Since I learned the basics of how to eat in the way the human digestive system works best, I have devoted countless thousands of hours to studying the history, science and application of how to alkalize the body, testing hundreds of recipes, and reading thousands of success stories just like my own from people whose digestion problems and lives have changed overnight. Try Great Taste No Pain yourself and I guarantee you, too, will be a believer in a hurry.

Another important component in controlling digestive disorders is probiotics.
