Claire Sampson had suffered from intense<\/strong> eczema<\/strong> for many years but, it was not until July 2017, she began to experience arm pain, along with peeling<\/strong> skin<\/strong>. The swelling and itch of her eczema left Claire unable to wear her\u00a0engagement and wedding rings.<\/p>\nThe 32-year-old administrator came across YorkTest food intolerance* programmes\u00a0<\/em>after her mother had taken a test previously. \u201cI read the reviews and saw that it had helped<\/strong> people with eczema,\u201d she recalls.<\/p>\n
The process, which involves sending a finger-prick blood<\/strong> sample to the company\u2019s laboratories to be analysed for reactions to over 200<\/strong>\u00a0food and drink ingredients, revealed that Claire had reactions to cow\u2019s milk, yeast, avocado and carrot. The full programme<\/a> provides a 30-minute call with a Registered Nutritional Therapist and additional content material to give further support<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
The next step for Claire was to eliminate<\/strong> her food triggers that could be aggravating<\/strong> her skin condition. The elimination process was, at first, challenging for the 32-year-old; It was \u201chard to begin with but I\u2019m used to it now\u201d after the nutritional consultation allowed her to explore<\/strong> other food alternatives<\/strong>, Claire explains.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe change in my skin was amazing. My arm improved within about a week<\/strong> and my hands cleared<\/strong> up quite quickly,\u201d says Claire. Within 7 days, \u201cI noticed a huge general change and now, after 3 months, it\u2019s like my eczema was never<\/strong> there<\/strong>\u201d. \u201cI can now wear my wedding and engagement rings again!\u201d Claire excitedly announces. The administrator has remained on her elimination diet since August and the next step is to start reintroducing her food reactions back into her diet.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’m more confident and a lot less<\/strong> stressed<\/strong>\u00a0about my skin. especially my arm as that was very painful\u201d recalls Claire. Finding an explanation for her itchy and inflamed<\/strong> eczema and what foods aggravate it has been a significant stress and pain<\/strong> reliever<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel normal again!\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Claire followed a Premium Food Intolerance* Test<\/a><\/p>\n
