I just wanted to formalize my heartfelt thanks to you for basically giving me my life back.
Back in April, when I first came to see you, I was at the lowest point I had ever been in my life. I was putting on weight for no apparent reason, was sluggish, listless & seemed to have lost control of my bowels. My bowels were so unpredictable, I started fearing ever going outside my front door, which is a little constraining for a UK Sales Manager! ‘Immediate Urgency’ had become a real & daily fear.
Following 2 years of Medical Specialist consultations and several ‘invasive’ investigations, no solution was offered or advised, I did not know where to turn. I had a recommendation from a friend which I followed up immediately and called the Bromsgrove Allergy & Nutrition Clinic. This was the best thing I have ever done.
The first consultation I had with you seemed to be a series of lightbulb moments, the first initial impression I had was, ‘wow, this girl actually understands my problems’. The second moment was that after approx. 5 minutes, you had basically pinned down the root cause to probably being a Dairy Intolerance (which I had probably had since I was born) with associated digestive bacteria and liver blocking issues . I won’t pretend that the following dietary regime of the exclusion diet was easy, but motivation was there in terms of a weight loss of nearly a pound per day for the first month – total of 1 stone. Your diagnosis seemed to be perfectly accurate and the effects were fairly quick to manifest themselves, with 100% improvement in bowel activity week on week.
At the end of the 5 consultation program, I have lost more weight, my bowels are mostly under control, I have lots more energy and subsequently I am much more aware of which food groups I can tolerate and which I cannot which means that now I have a choice! As I said up front, you have given me my life back and whilst this may sound cheesy, this is totally accurate.
I would recommend anyone who has any kind of digestive, stomach or bowel complaint to come to you for advice. You are not only a professional of the highest order (I feel I can talk to you freely about anything!) but you are also a loving & caring human being. I cannot thank you enough for your concern, your advice and most importantly your help in guiding me to overcome the worst period of my life, I am & will remain eternally grateful, thank you.
