Читать книгу The Food Intolerance Bible: A nutritionist's plan to beat food cravings, fatigue, mood swings, bloating, headaches and IBS - Antoinette Savill, Antoinette Savill - Страница 83

Sarah Davies, 41, visited me in the summer a few years ago. She had been suffering from abdominal bloating and headaches for years. She was slim, which meant that whenever the bloating occurred, it was all the more obvious – this prevented her from going out in warm weather, it affected her so much. She found that eating most types of carbohydrates such as bread, pasta or potatoes triggered both the bloating and the headaches.

I recommended Sarah avoid the obvious culprit foods, which had the desired effect on her bloating and headaches. Trouble was, it meant that when she went out – and she had a very busy social life – she felt awkward not being able to eat those foods. Sarah also fulfilled the requirements for needing digestive enzymes. When she took these before and with food she could eat the culprit foods, once a day anyway, and get away with it both in terms of the bloating and the headaches. Needless to say, this transformed her life since she could now go out and not worry about what she ate.
