Since I can remember I have always been an eczema sufferer. Weekly trips to the GP as a child, countless visits to dermatologists and ‘specialists’ as a youth.
Frustration, emotional distress and excruciating pain would be a daily occurrence. I would be prescribed medications to calm and sooth the irritation which would help for a few weeks or so and then I became so immune to the topical/oral medication (including STEROIDS!) it would no longer work. It came to a point where my GP had stated “you have been prescribed all of the available medications available”. I felt he had lost hope and it suddenly became real that I would have this for the rest of my life.
Then an idea that I hadn’t even considered was brought to my attention from a colleague. Nutritional changes would help my condition within. She had visited Bromsgrove Allergy and Nutrition Centre and recommended it. I gave it a shot, what did I have to lose. After Kinesiology testing I was found to hold many intolerance’s of which I had no idea about, ie. dairy, eggs, etc. After a full detox and following my new strict regime for a few months… WOW, the improvement was drastic. I cannot express how much my confidence was raised. I received so many compliments from my improvement. It has been over three years now without a trace of eczema. I consider myself CURED.
THANK YOU SO MUCH Caroline.

Acne
Having always had problems with my skin and acne, I have tried everything from antibiotics to cutting out gluten, dairy etc. I have always eaten healthy and lead an active lifestyle, and as such my problem skin had been a source of frustration and confusion. I found Bromsgrove Allergy & Nutrition Centre, and Caroline, whilst searching on the internet, and thought I would seek professional help.
After going through everything with Caroline she diagnosed a Candida Albican overgrowth and produced a bespoke list with foods I should avoid for the time being to resolve the problem. After clearly explaining what the problem was and how it came about, I was reassured and stuck to the diet plan for a number of months. From the offset my skin had noticeably calmed and it was rare that I got a new spot. Furthermore, I noticed a number of other minor health issues that must have been linked, such as mild athletes foot, to disappear. I also experienced an increase in mood and energy, which I didn’t even realise I was lacking until after a few weeks into the diet. It is now four months later and my skin on my face is clear for the first time in roughly ten years. If I do stray from the diet in any way I am at least aware of why I react, which is a vast improvement on the frustration before and stress free to correct.
I have been back to Caroline a further two times since my initial appointment, each time we have seen improvements and Caroline has assessed me to find new foods to add into my diet with no ill-effects.
I am very glad I came to Bromsgrove Allergy and Nutrition Centre and met Caroline. I now have a much clearer understanding of the issue and what I need to eat to cure myself. As a result, I have much more confidence in everyday life through the lack of acne / spots, which I am extremely thankful for.

I have suffered thirty years of digestive problems, several endoscopies in that time, never discovering anything untoward and being palmed off with prescription medication, which was never much help.
After my first appointment with Caroline, within 2 weeks I had no stomach aches, no sick feeling after eating and, within a month, my indigestion and heartburn diminished together with my energy levels noticeably increasing. Your treatment – it has been virtually life changing.
It’s wonderful to feel so well – and with the added bonus of losing a stone in weight, all thanks to Caroline who is a lovely friendly lady who always makes you feel totally comfortable.
I would recommend her to anyone.

I went to see Caroline back in February 2017 with many many food intolerances which had gone from bad to worse !!I just didn’t know what I could eat anymore; everything seemed to have some sort of reaction.
My symptoms were anything from major bloated tummy to sore throat, flu type symptoms, migraine headaches, achy muscles and limbs, cracked fingertips, soreness behind my ears, floaters in my eyes and blurred vision. I had itching around my hip bones and the condition of my hair would change giving me a dry itchy scalp. I suffered terrible fatigue and I could go on !!
Caroline tested me and I couldn’t believe how many intolerances I had including chemical allergies.Caroline diagnosed me with Candida Albicans which was registering a very high level. This high level can make you very food intolerant, dehydration, dysbiosis – too much bad bacteria in tummy and not enough good, sluggish liver and suspected I had a leaky gut !!
I was absolutely horrified at being told this. I had never ever realised so many things could be going wrong inside my tummy to be causing all these reactions.Caroline told me that it is all caused from a poor diet all my life which has contained far too much sugar and nowhere near enough vegetables and salads.
To start to put all this right or to get me back on track again, I had to drink nothing but water and I have never drank water in my life and hated it. I had to detox for two weeks, eating nothing but turkey, tuna, vegetables and salads. Basically I could have had other bits and pieces but I was intolerant to them so I just stuck to the above.
The first two weeks, I just got worse as the good bacteria I had started to put back in my tummy battled with the bad bacteria and caused me a lot of discomfort. My toilet movements were practically zero !! I was really struggling.
But now eleven months down the line, after being so dedicated to what I needed to do and take all the herbal medication that Caroline has prescribed, I have lost six stone and introducing lots of good bacteria into my diet again in moderation and gradually feeling like a new woman.
Caroline also realised that I put on false tan daily and dyed my hair frequently and this caused me to have a big build-up of chemicals in my body and my body got tired of fighting the chemicals and this caused me an awful lot of problems and food intolerances including sugar being a main issue. I couldn’t tolerate any carbs at all.
So I went cold turkey on the tan which was hard for me to do and bought organic hair dyes containing no chemicals. Eight weeks later the difference is unbelievable, I am now eating sugars and carbohydrates again and feeling like I’ve not felt in a good few years. My energy levels have risen and the fatigue I was suffering with is 80% better now.
I really am feeling like a new woman and this is all down to this amazing lady and her expert advice and my dedication to following her advice every step of the way.
You have to believe in her from day one and act on her advice and the proof is in the pudding for me !! Literally as I could never have eaten a pudding before !!
Caroline you are an amazing lady and worth your weight in gold. I will continue to recommend you as I could never have done this without you.

We brought our 9 year old to see Caroline as she had been suffering with tummy pains that had been making her very anxious. Caroline performed Kinesology testing and gave us a list of foods to avoid and some supplements that would help with her acidic levels. We found the sessions very reassuring and enlightening and it highlighted aspects of our daughter’s diet that were causing her troubles, in particular gluten. We would recommend Caroline’s clinic and thank her for the friendly way she interacted with us and our daughter.

I contacted Caroline when Callum was about 5 months old
She tested my son for many different foods and known allergens using kinesiology. It took many weeks, but gradually his body cleared itself of all the un-digested milk products in his system. His puffiness, eczema & red face all went away.
Yes, you do have to pay for Caroline’s knowledge, support, guidance and advice, but it is invaluable. She is a professional in her field. She doesn’t pacify you with what you want to hear, she tells it like it is and bases her advice on knowledge and experiences of others and herself. If I hadn’t sought out an alternative solution to his issues, Callum might have gotten sicker and sicker.

Dear Caroline
I cannot thank you enough for your excellent treatment and advice over the last 3 months.After years of suffering from a variety of post menopausal health issues including insomnia, unexplained muscle aches, bloating, brain fog and anxiety (all despite following what I thought to be a healthy diet and lifestyle) I am finally beginning to feel well and able to participate in life more fully.
Within two weeks of my first appointment my sleeping had considerably improved, my anxiety had lessened as had the majority of my chronic muscle pain.
Three months on my stomach feels comfortable for the first time in years, I have more energy and improved concentration levels.
Understanding that certain foods were adversely affecting my health and learning to change my diet accordingly has had a massive impact on my well-being, and I would not hesitate in recommending you to others in my position.
With kind regards and sincere thanks.

I would like to thank you for curing virtually all my skin problems. Before I first came to see you last Autumn I had two expensive appointments with a dermatologist at a well known private hospital in the Midlands. My skin, particularly on my back and scalp, had become extremely dry and flaky. The dermatologist diagnosed seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis but told me that there is no real cure. He prescribed moisturising cream and a specialist shampoo which had no effect and basically told me I would just have to get used to the condition.
My wife suggested that I had nothing to lose by consulting you. I must admit to being skeptical and did not really see how my diet, which is good and has been largely unchanged for the last half century, could be responsible for the relatively sudden deterioration in my skin.
My first session with you was a revelation. You probed my medical history which included problems with ENT as a child followed by really bad acne leading to several years on a broad spectrum antibiotic. You explained these antibiotics had killed off much of my natural defence system against the proliferation of candida albicans in my gut and this had spread and was largely responsible for my skin conditions
You also diagnosed an adverse reaction to many of my favourite food including cows’ cheese, bananas, most foodstuffs containing yeast (including bread and to my horror beer, lager and wine !) and I started taking regular doses of various pro biotics, vitamins and liver health tablets
Over the five months that I have been seeing you my skin has improved dramatically and is now virtually back to normal
Thank you so much. Conventional medicine has much to learn. Had I listened to the “specialist” I fear I would now be in an even worse condition than when I first took his (expensive and useless) advice
Please keep up your great work
