SYMPTOM: SEVERE ECZEMA FOODS TO AVOID: GUINNESS AND CHIPS SIOBHAN’S STORY In a 12-year battle with Eczema, Siobhan Doyle spent thousands of euros onconventional treatments but to no avail. When bleeding hands made evenpicking up her young children too painful, it was time to turn to foodintolerance for a possible solution. Now, Siobhan’s eczema has all butgone away in a matter of weeks, and by discovering she can’t haveGuinness (and chips), a simple test has made looking after children apainless experience. SIOBHAN SAYS… “Initially I thought my eczema was due to wearing surgical gloves at workbut after tests, the results came back as negative. My hands, shoulders andtummy were very bad and the last straw came when my hands began to bleed. Ifound looking after my children difficult and I wasn’t sleeping verywell.” “By chance I saw something about food intolerance so I took a foodintolerance test with nothing to lose. The results informed me that some ofthe food I was eating like Guinness and Chips were contributing to myproblem. When I cut them out of my diet the eczema cleared up and it isamazing. “I also cut out milk and my energy levels also improved where now I hopout of bed each morning. I now know exactly what is causing the skinproblem because I lapsed last week and had some chips and guess what…theeczema came returned. When I think of all the time I had this problem and how down I was I wish Ihad done something about it earlier. 12 years is a long time to live withany illness but I now know what is causing the symptoms. So long as I stayoff the Guinness and Chips then I should be okay.”
