ANTONIA

Antonia, in her thirties

Symptoms – severe stomach cramps, bloating

Antonia found her symptoms were making her miserable and interfering with her life. She chose to take a food-intolerance test, which highlighted red meat, milk and wheat.

Antonia avoids these three triggers entirely and she is now symptom-free.

JOHN

John, in his seventies

Symptoms – bloating

John didn’t feel he had any intolerances or symptoms. However, he did notice that he was bloated after meals and struggled to lose weight despite eating more healthily. John consumed a lot of wheat (as many of us do), so he decided to cut it out for one month to see if he noticed the difference. After a month wheat-free he felt so much better – more energy, no bloating and yes … he’d lost half a stone.

John now eats wheat only on special occasions – a rustic roll in a restaurant or a piece of homemade birthday cake – with no symptoms, but he knows that if he eats wheat more regularly his symptoms will return.
