Before I met Caroline, I had suffered with problems with my stomach for years. My bowel movements were so irregular – I would often have bouts of diarrhoea but other days would find that I was constipated, with no clear explanation why. As well as being very inconvenient in my busy lifestyle, I was also often in pain and discomfort and was bloated pretty much all of the time.
I had visited my GP who carried out blood tests for problems such as Coeliac disease and Crohn’s disease but these had come back clear so the explanation I was given was that it was most likely irritable bowel syndrome, most likely brought on by stress from my job. I was advised that certain foods can trigger IBS but as there was no clear pattern to my bowel movements relating to what I had eaten, I had no confidence that my stomach problems would ever go away and thought it was something I would just have to carry on putting up with.
Caroline was recommended to me by a relative and after hearing about her method of testing I will admit that at first I was a bit sceptical! I needn’t have been though – Caroline is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced. After the first session my diet was limited which was hard at first, but I stuck to it and saw improvements very quickly. Over the course of the next 4 sessions I was able to gradually reintroduce most foods and now know which few foods I need to avoid completely or only eat in moderation to keep my stomach in check. The sessions with Caroline also highlighted that other health related issues that I had just put down to my lifestyle (e.g. cracked lips, poor concentration, low energy) were also attributable to my diet and have all improved as a result of seeing Caroline.
I would recommend Bromsgrove Allergy to anyone who may be suffering with similar symptoms – you don’t need to learn to live with them.
