Acid Reflux

A healthy outside starts from the inside!

Caroline Sproule

I visited the Bromsgrove Allergy and Nutrition clinic as I had been back and forth to my doctors with what I thought was acid reflux symptoms which I had been suffering with for numerous years.  My symptoms had started to develop more and I was getting to the stage where I didn’t know what to eat as most foods seemed to give me some sort of reaction.

At my first consultation Caroline suspected I had a yeast intolerance and chronic dehydration.  I was given a strict diet to follow limiting my intake of caffeine, and omitting certain foods and drinking much more filtered water.  I must admit I was very sceptical at first but as the weeks progressed I could see that the advice Caroline was giving me was improving my wellbeing.

It has been a long journey and I don’t think I am at the end of it yet but I now know what I can and can’t eat.  My symptoms have improved enormously and I have more energy.

I definitely think you are what you eat and that medication is not always the answer.

Thinking back, l was probably having problems to a much lesser degree for a decade.  I had always found an excuse for my symptoms and had certainly dismissed the possibility of any allergies or intolerances.  These ‘problems’ had increased in regularity since around 2014 and for the last two years had become worse causing, at least, inconvenience, and, at worst, real issues with day to day life.

I had consulted my GP and been referred to a consultant who performed an ultra sound, a scan and a colonoscopy.  This showed diverticular disease but fortunately no sinister problems.  However, in 2019 l was struggling with lower stomach pains, bloating and eventually, the inability to eat almost anything without pain and, more often than not, diarrhoea.  I had followed instructions to eat a high fibre diet, to be honest, l always had eaten what l thought was a healthy diet and embraced brown bread, flour, rice and pasta, plenty of nuts and seeds and plenty of veg.  This wasn’t helping!

A friend recommended Caroline whom l first saw in June 2019.  I had looked at the website and must admit l was pretty sceptical of kinesiology but l was willing to give it a try.  Caroline put me at ease, was knowledgeable and understanding and explained things as she tested me.  I showed as having a gluten intolerance, a dairy intolerance, a yeast intolerance, Dysbiosis (a lack of good bacteria in the bowel), a count of 13 over 28 for Candida Albicans showing a bacteria overgrowth in the gut, mild malabsorption, an unstable blood sugar level and dehydration. I was given a pretty limited diet but l st

I continued to see Caroline on a monthly basis and each time there was an improvement and an increase to my allowed diet.  Now, 5 months on, l am allowed many more foods.  I have got a gluten intolerance and there are some yeast products, pulses, fruits and vegetables l can’t eat but l can have cheese and wine in moderation so all is good with the world!

I know with diverticular disease a bout of diverticulitis can occur and is painful and unpleasant but Caroline has given me confidence to tackle that and l know l can revert to my original diet to get things back on track.  I would recommend Bromsgrove Allergy and Nutrition Centre to anyone having dietary problems and l know Caroline advises on a great many conditions besides.  I will certainly continue to see Caroline and have great faith in her.

Dear Caroline.

A somewhat belated letter of thanks for all you did for me over the summer months regarding my IBS and Indigestion and Stomach Problems.

I was really suffering when I first came to you and you have given me the tools (particularly the supplement HCL and Pepsin) to combat any recurring symptoms. Since my visits to you I feel so much better and really appreciate your help and advice and would most definitely recommend you to anyone.

I suffered with a lot of stomach acid, which accompanied tiredness and exhaustion. I thought all of these symptoms were associated with my job, as I am a director and Partner in a busy engineering company. I thought my symptoms were stress related and nothing to do with food that I was eating. My wife, who had watched me go to my GP for two years  persuaded me to try the Nutrition Programme, which she had attended herself.

I was amazed at the results. A number of food intolerances were found but the main one was milk which I had thought helped neutralize stomach acid.How wrong I was.

I carried out the first 4 week eating plan , sticking very rigidly to the do’s and don’ts on the list. When I returned for my follow up, i found that not only had my intolerances reduced, but also I had more energy, no tiredness and especially no acid in my stomach!

My wife and I would both like to thank you for your support and advice on combating our food intolerances over the past three months and would recommend if anyone is suffering with the symptoms I have had that they take the time to find out about the Nutrition Programme at Bromsgrove Allergy and Nutrition Centre.
