I went to see Carol following a sudden period of illness where I contracted a toxic bacterial infection in my stomach called clostridium difficile, also known as C-Diff. I had been admitted to hospital at the peak of the infection. After being discharged I needed to repair the damage that the infection had caused to my stomach and digestive system. My energy levels were at rock bottom and due to the lack of nutrients in my system I had started to lose my hair. Carol knew all about C-Diff and started me on the road to recovery. She assessed my bacterial levels and put together a plan of supplements in addition to guidance on food types to eat and ones to avoid. She introduced me to some amazing natural probiotics and foods that I had never heard of which now form part of my everyday diet. She took care to slowly introduce these foods to my diet and to monitor the effects on my system.
I started seeing Carol in December 2020, over an 8 month period Carol has rebuilt my gut health and helped me to understand how to maintain this in order to avoid any recurrence of infection. During this period Carol not only focussed on my physical health but also my mental health, she gave sound advice and helped me to reach out for support from Guernsey Mind.
Carol was instrumental in rebuilding my system following a very traumatic time and I cannot thank her enough. I would recommend anyone who has concerns over their gut health to see Carol.
Thank you again Carol, you are amazing!
