*I am in complete agreement w/you about buying herbs in health food stores. I, Terri have worked in so many health food stores throughout my lifetime. Some of these teas sit on the shelves of health food stores for years. Not all teas have expiration dates on them, especially loose teas. I love your digestive tea formula and I look so forward to getting up early every morning and having my cup of tea w/my Bible. Nothing compares to this. Thanks for all of your emails, everyone is so helpful.*

*Hello.

I had a follow up colonoscopy a couple weeks ago. Looking much better! My gastroenterologist thinks my CT scan from three months prior was a mistake. It showed very acute diverticulitis with a notable abscess. He wanted me to have surgery, and IV antibiotics. Instead, I went through a round of oral antibiotics, and bought the PFF program. I have followed Mike's advice carefully. I told my gastro what I have been doing, but he does not believe me. My family doctor DOES believe me, and will pass on PFF website info to his other patients. I am not out of the woods yet, but feel confident that I will fully get my life back. For those out there who are suffering....do this program. It is not difficult, especially when the payoff is reducing pain. I eat with forethought, and a little planning. Pain Free Foods saved my life, and my quality of life, and I am so very grateful.*

*I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis 5 years ago. I have always been a small petite person but never this bad. In the last 5 years I have been terrify of ALL food because of flare up after flare up. I have weigh 98 pounds or less for 5 years and finally got tired of being sick and ask God please teach me how to eat. The very next day my 94 years old grandma gave me your book and your food grouping chart. I said to her that is not what I have but I will give it a try and 3 months later I have never felt this good! Please introduce this to every doctor in the world with colitis problems because I asked over and over for a diet that will work for me and nothing workedfor 5 years. I was scared for my own life and felt like I will not and can not make it much longer. Sad to feel yourself simply giving up on life. Thank you and God bless you.*

*Hi Mike and family,

I have been doing the programme for four weeks approx now and am really starting to feel better. I have had several bouts of diverticulitis over maybe a couple of years and had a very scary one some three months back which convinced me I,ve got to change my life and do something about it, hence your programme.

We live in the country and grow nearly all our own fresh foods ,veges etc and I do a lot of hunting deer ,goats etc so was surprised to have this problem in the first place.

However ,understanding that it’s the way we eat that makes the difference has been amazing. I had always wondered what the problem was and its taken years to finally find out after all the tests etc.

You are so right ,doctors don’t cure anything just feed drugs to treat symptoms.

This is not completely easy ,but I am getting better at it and don’t have to look anything up anymore, your ongoing tips are much appreciated and very helpful.

Many thanks and kind regards*

*I wanted to tell you of the great success I've had. In May 2016 (aged 64) I was diagnosed with Crohns but because I was otherwise healthy, not on any medication and not having severe symptoms, my doctor had agreed not to put me on medication for Crohns for a while. I found your site at that time and started on your program and my symptoms almost disappeared. I'm not always 100% true to the program however I've changed my diet considerably in line with your strategies. I went for a follow up with my doctor in early March and on receiving results of my blood tests, she advised that she thought she would need to start me on medication and due to my doubts wanted me to have a colonoscopy and endoscopy. I had my doubts because my symptoms had virtually gone although I would have occasional bleeding etc. After the tests, my doctor came and told me no medication and stay on the diet. As she said this to me in the recovery room, I needed to check with her that is in fact what she said later in the week and this was confirmed. I am yet to have my follow up appointment with her to find out if internally I have healed, but I am confident that adopting your program has indeed helped me. I am also encouraged to be stricter with my diet and have encouraged my friend to obtain a copy of the program for her son's girlfriend who's had crohns since her late teens. Thank you and keep up the good work. I will be forever greatful that you have provided such rich support for those diagnosed with Crohns. Many thanks*

*I am so grateful to Michael for this program. I think I am alive because of it. At age 68, in 2014 I had a severe attack, diagnosed as diverticulitis. I had so little confidence in allopathic treatments and prayed earnestly for REAL help. In a casual conversation with someone I hardly knew, I learned about Michael's book. If you learn and follow it, I promise it works! I made the mistake of thinking I had it all down pat, but recently had a flare up and quickly reread the book and found my mistakes. You cannot be lazy or nonchalant about this business. If you hurt bad enough, (and you will I something doesn't change), you will be quick to make needed changes, and grateful to know what changes need to be made! Someone suffered greatly to learn this program. I grieve for the multitudes who suffer and do not know where to turn. Thank you Michael, and your family. I pray for your health and success and you move this work forward.*

*Thank you so much for giving me my husband back ❤️

I honestly thought that I was just throwing more money away when I purchased the book. I was at my wits end and my husband was at the doctor at least once a month. After 12 months of using your program I can say we haven't had a flare up (a few tummy aches but certainly not the reaction to food that used to last for days/weeks). Slippery elm and grapefruit seed extract are our lifeline and we certainly know if he's forgotten to take it. Antibiotic free since starting it and I have a happy, healthier man to share my life with. I've had to learn to shop and cook a little differently but it hasn't been difficult and we both eat the same meals. I admit that his condition is definitely not as bad as what I read some people experiencing but I just wonder how much worse things might have become without this intervention. Thanks again for changing our lives 😘*

*MY name Valene. I was in the ER on Jan. 7 with acute Diverticulitis. On Jan. 8 we found your web site. We ordered the book and started on the diet of not mixing food types. I have always had problems with stomach pains; about 2 or 3 times a month. Since I started the pain free foods plan, I have not had one stomach pain. IT REALLY DOES WORK. Sometimes it is hard and confusing to me but I am really trying because it is working. My brother asked, are you going to eat like this for the rest of your life? and I said YES. I don't have that bloating feeling any more and I have lost a little weight. Thank you for the book and the help. I don't want those pains ever again.*

*Hi,

I have been meaning to write and tell you how amazing I have found your way of eating. I use to suffer an attack every three to four weeks, no matter how careful I was. In desperation I was googling to see what I could eat and not have attacks when I came across your site. Best move I ever made. I have been attack free for 4months and feeling amazing. I have to admit the hardest part was the alcohol but I did it and survived. I have an extremely busy life whereby have to attend functions and dinners sometimes several times a week and have found the easiest way of eating then is vegetarian. So simple.

I have recommended you to so many people, not sure how many can be bothered to make the effort but believe me they should it is a small effort for a huge difference. I love the emails each week, great support.

Thank you.*

*Just letting you know that I fully appreciate this “diet”. I’m beginning my 3rd week and have been pain free from the diverticulitis and the symptoms that go along with it. I have been suffering for many years from this and can hardly believe the changes in such a short time.

I still have lots to learn, but so far things have been good. Even my husband has noticed a difference in me. It is hard to function well when you have this condition because you can be so uncomfortable most of the time.

I was taking Mira-lax every morning just to keep my system going. Haven’t taken any since I started this diet and haven’t had any problem.

I have suffered from constipation most all my life and this is the first time I have done so well without some sort of medication.

That alone is worth my staying on this program of eating.

Praying things stay this way……

Thanks for all the information you provide!*

*I have been dealing with digestive issues all my life. Even as a child, I have vivid memories of pain, and distress. As an adult, my life was affected daily, on the whims of my gut. I have progressed from diagnoses of stomach ulcers, IBS, diverticulosis, bleeding ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, and abscesses. My last year has been very challenging, and the most recent episode nearly took me out. My recovery is still ongoing.

These conditions are not every day topics of conversation, but it seems they are becoming more and more prevalent. We all know someone who has some degree of digestive problems. Causes may be due to genetics, stress, the American diet, and even personality type. For those of us who suffer, we just want to get better and will try most anything to do so.

While at the height of my most recent crisis, I discovered something wonderful and life changing. Pain Free Foods, founded by Michael Hohlweg, is devoted to helping folks such as myself heal and regain our lives. I purchased Mike’s books, joined their Facebook support group, and altered the way I eat. I also have been enjoying the benefits of a special tea invented by Mike (Rachel’s Digestive Relief Tea, from Rachelstea.com.) It has been the most soothing thing I have found.

The relief I have experienced with this program has been such a blessing. I have been eating a “healthy” diet for years, but did not realize I was creating imbalances that were harmful to my digestive health. The level of my understanding of how to eat for optimal digestive health has now changed dramatically. The Pain Free Foods program is easy to follow, yet there are many important details to know. While the information in this program is priceless, the one-time cost is only about the same as a co-pay with my gastroenterologist. Certainly, a fraction of what I would have paid for an ambulance, the emergency room, inpatient hospital treatment and surgery. I believe I avoided these things with my new eating plan. I now have a lifetime of support from the Pain Free Foods Team. This means everything to me. I am not out of the woods yet.

My CT scan revealed some other troubling issues still to be dealt with; but at least I am no longer causing myself pain with food. If you or anyone you care about has digestive issues, I encourage you to explore PainFreeFoods.com. Mike and his daughter, Rachel also did some informative YouTube videos. Check them out.

I am forever grateful for Pain Free Foods.*

*I just have to tell everyone about Macro Greens and Miracle Reds. I bought them from Rachel's Tea website. Got them 6 days ago. I had been sooo tired, dealing with this diverticulitis/UC/abscess. Daily living activities wore me OUT! I tried a half scoop of both products, and within 30 minutes, I was up looking for a project. I ended up mowing the whole yard, watered and weeded the garden, and stood in the middle of the yard marveling that I still didn't feel like keeling over. Slept like a rock all night long. I took them before my YMCA swim exercise class, and folks commented that I looked more rested.

The label says to mix with juice, but they taste great by themselves in very cold water. So glad Mike and the PFF Team recommends these products...otherwise, I would not have tried them. They are helping me be more active, and along with eating the PFF way, I have hope of getting my life back.*

“I found this information to be invaluable. Thank you so much. I have now been using your program for about a year and a half. Prior to that I had three episodes of diverticulitis within a year and was becoming a little worried. The program is very easy to follow and well worth the time in understanding how it works. I found you online and what I was reading made a lot of sense to me. I downloaded your book and read it thoroughly and that all made sense as well. The other thing that is kind of neat is that when I make a mistake I am aware of immediately. Anyway, I plan to stick with this routine. It appears to be working. I feel much better and my life has improved in many ways. Again, thank you very much. Penny”*

I am having trouble accessing them & would like to have them in my library of information. I had an excellent colonoscopy check-up today & it's all due to the food combining I am doing with the book & products I purchase off Rachel's tea website. I give your entire family the credit as to why I feel great & have improved immensely, thank you for your guidance & helpful support in keeping & staying healthy” “Having just received the digital package, I took a quick look at some of the tutorials then read through a few pages of the book. I actually purchased this package to help my mother who suffers from diverticulitis but I now realise that I may need it too since I suffer from bloating and gas at times. “

“I have been vegetarian for most of my life but I dislike many foods on the normal vegetarian diet, eg. eggplant, asparagus, avocado, mushrooms etc. and I don't like eggs unless they are well hidden within the recipe. I tend to eat grain breads and pasta with tomato and parmesan cheese when I'm hungry. My diet is quite poor really because my food choices are limited, I eat junk food and I dislike cooking but I thank dairy products for my calcium intake. I struggle to find any diet that caters adequately to my specific needs and so I continue on my road to gradual obesity.” “Over the years my diet hasn't changed but my body has; thanks to childbirth, changing hormones and aging. My body no longer copes with the demands I place on it and my thyroid function is low which affects my metabolism; consequently, I have gradually gained weight and have transitioned from a slim, energetic young woman into an overweight, out of condition older woman. It makes me sad that I have neglected myself for so long but I am a positive person with a sunny outlook and I believe that today is the start of the rest of my life. I look forward to perusing through the recipe pages and absorbing knowledge from the tutorials in the hope that I may find a healthier direction for not only my life but that of my mother's as we do this journey together. Thank you for all the effort involved in producing this program and for sharing it with the world. ☺

Warmest regards, Terry-Anne”*

I ordered it on behalf of an elderly (but very energetic) friend who had been suffering for years with acid reflux etc and then suddenly landed up in hospital with acute intestinal pain and a diagnosis of Diverticulitis. When I saw some of Mikes clips on YOUTUBE, it really smacked of truth to me. Having immediately read the full text of the book upon payment (a very outward and sympathetic gesture which you very kindly make available), I was able to relate everything to her and have now given her the book. She is one of those people who just gets on and ignores problems but i guess sooner or later she will probably be respecting your every word.

Giving up some foods I used to love wasn’t even tough, realizing they were going to ‘cost too much’. I stuck to the rules and started out slow – eating just a few of the foods on the list – and gradually I added others, keeping to the combinations rule at all times, and I haven’t had any pain or trouble at all.

But only one diverticula pocket found. One sizeable benign polyp removed that was an adenoma which is likely to develop into cancer - gone now. Told all my siblings since it can be passed genetically. Was told by doctor to have another colonoscopy in 5 yrs! Also wanted everyone to know that I was able to stop two attacks in Dec in their tracks by my partner giving me a Thumper (2 headed massager) on my feet. Think that stress plays a big part in the 8 full on attacks I've had. So I'm happy as can be right now on my little pink cloud. So grateful for your book and the priceless help it has given me! I'm going to stay on the diet, get back to a healthy weight again (need to gain a few lbs), keep slowly increasing my exercise - and get my life back again!❤"*

*Very scary at first! Get the digital program only 29$. It saved me! The take out guide will help take the emotional stress out of wondering what will hurt you and over thinking!Liquid diet for 3 days.....chicken broth, water, low acid juice no OJ! Then go to jello, mashed pot (use a touch of almond milk) butter is ok, oatmeal, boiled pot, white bread, saltine crackers, maybe eggs after 2 days of soft foods without problems ) Don't add fiber or worry about protein yet. Whenyou can eat for a week like this get yourself 2 products for sure....the slippery elm ( before meals to coat stomach) and the GSE-grapefruit seed extract -if/when you feel twinges of pain*

*Thank you for the updates always. I'm so happy that I have found you and I only found you threw searching on internet. I was using a book no more pain and it did help in beginning but was still having problems. Then I found you guys and it's getting better. as long as I follow the program I stray from time to time just cause I want something. But have discovered not worth the pain. And now that I'm using the products you have recommended it is even much better. I talk about this program to others who also are having problems to go check it out. So thanks again for being there if we need you."*

Thank you for the note Sonia. I have suffered with heartburn for years, and in recent years with Diverticulitis. I looked your book up trying to research how I can fix this problem after a particularly nasty flare up that required hospitalization. I began the diet on Monday. So far, so good. One really cool side effect so far is that I have not had to take an antacid for three days. Probably as far as I've gone without one in years. Anyway, thanks again!"*

*Can I share this report with my boss (also my friend) and encourage her to buy the book? She has diverticulitis. I am still following your protocol and feel fantastic!! It's been soooo helpful to me ( if you remember, I don't have diverticulitis but a sensitive stomache and tend toward flare ups or occasional heart burn and acid reflux) but now I feel soooo much better.*

*On another note, I wanted to thank you and your family. I have been doing GREAT with my Diverticulitis and have been learning so much as my healing process continues. It's a total learning experience ones you learn to listen to you body and system. It's awesome and interesting how the body can heal on its own when you are given the "proper" tools to do so. My healing continues as my learning grows. Your Tea is a miracle tea!! I will never stop purchasing that from you. It's a true miracle tea and at the same time I know I'm supporting a true and honest family owned business! Thank you so much & sending you many blessing and great things to you and your family!"*

I've recently been diagnosed with a low calcium level in my blood, I've been having tests as I've developed peripheral-neural-myalgia, as numbness in my toes. I originally thought this might me a side effect of the Simvastatin which I used to take, but wondered if it could also be caused by an acid diet? Have you had any experience of this?
