My doctor diagnosed me with IBS, and at first, I saw a dietitian who put me on a super restrictive diet. It helped, but I couldn’t stick to it long-term. When I saw Alison, she suggested testing to find the root cause, and it turned out I had SIBO. She put together a plan, and after just a few weeks, I started feeling better than ever. My bloating and gas improved so much, plus my energy levels and sleep were better, and even my skin started clearing up. What I loved most was that there was a proper exit strategy—so I didn’t have to stay on a restrictive diet or take a ton of supplements forever. I finally feel in control of my gut health!

I came to visit Alison after spending more than three months trying to find out with several GPs, why nearly all of food smells terrible for me as well as taste. At the end of three months I was able to eat only a few fruits and vegetables, and wasn’t able to cook for my family, or even walk near the cafes. So I decide visit Alison. One hour, Alison listened to me, we did food intolerance test, and I start to live with strict diet, some herbal medicine and supplements. One month later I found then I can smell different kind of food, start to cook for my kids and one day I try a piece of cake, I realized for more than 4 years( after my first child was born) I had never tasted a real flavour, all sweets was just sweet and cheese was just salt. But now all different and like rainbow. Of course it’s very hard to live with some food restrict.
Then my husband visit Alison with skin, digestive issues and he was all the time is tired. Now he is sleep better, his skin is clean and he is nearly good with digestive( but really he can’t live without sweets more than 5 days 😉 ) and still keep going the way of healthy life. For now we bring our 4 year old son, because he had reflux , he is under weight, and he is really fussy eater. We did the food intolerance test and really clever Alison did the job again. My son can’t stop eat now, I never saw him so happy and energy. Thank you Alison!

Just wanted to thank you for all your help. You certainly go over and above for patient care and my stomach is feeling so much better. I have not felt the need to take my pariet for reflux since last Saturday which is huge for me. That has certainly been one of my goals and I’m getting there. Only every now and then do I taste a bit of acid but nothing like before.

I have had stomach problems for many years but I’ve learnt to ignore that pain and other pain as best I can; that’s until it interferes too much with each day. I’ve had tests, been in hospital etc… just to be told it could be a virus, I was even sent straight from an ultrasound to causality with an enlarged appendix. After many years of that and more years gone by of ignoring it all, I finally went to see Alison around a year ago primarily looking for help with the ongoing stomach problems. I found Alison easy to talk to and an all-round lovely person who has calming persona and a great smile that in itself gives a good pick-me-up. Not only did Alison prescribe herbs and supplements but she provided a well laid out diet and she even provides recipes online.
Alison actively followed up with me and analysed the feedback I provided, and the results came. I had comments from others after about a month saying how much better I looked and that I had lost the puffy look from my face. I kept the good eating habits learnt for over 6 months. That was until work hours got ridiculously longer and I had to travel for extended times, again for work. Unfortunately with old bad habits back I’ve lately once again felt unwell and had the pain return, but with some of what I’ve learnt still in place and now that I’m back home, I’m about to once more ask for Alison’s help. Help?
