I approached Carol after travelling a long road to nowhere with doctors, who had spent nearly a year trying to figure out why I was permanently suffering with being covered in hives and oedema. I felt I was having an allergic type reaction to something, which was affecting my whole body and causing my face to swell up intermittently. Not only did this leave me exhausted and frightened but it was affecting my sleep (being constantly itchy), my work and my stress levels. I had been put on steroids and a hefty dose of of anti histamines which made little difference to my symptoms. The drs basically refused to believe it was an allergy or, as I suspected after much research, a food reaction, but I needed to find a cause as I wanted to come off the medication in order to conceive. After banging my head against a brick wall for so long, I finally contacted Carol, who had previously been recommended by friends and colleagues. Carol quickly deduced that I was having a reaction to food due to intolerance and , after amending my diet under her guidance, and coming off my (non effective) medication, my symptoms all but disappeared in a few weeks. Talk about relief! After some tests and further review, my diet was tweaked some more and all my symptoms vanished. We then concentrated on getting me healthy again and started some prenatal dietry supplements. I was finally able to safely start a family. 5 years on, we have a beautiful daughter and I have no more symptoms. I honestly don’t know how I would have coped without her advice. Thanks again xx eternally grateful
