“All my life I have lived and worked under pressure.  I have always been able to cope with stress.  This year began with problems as bad as they have ever been but I didn't react as normal.  The pressure in my chest was constant.  I was sleeping very badly with constant nightmares.  I experienced tummy pains, particularly in my colon.  I suffered from constant loose bowel movements to the point that I was scared to eat or drink if I had to go out and would certainly not go on any long journeys.  I went to the doctor about it all. He diagnosed IBS and sent me away with some tummy calming pills.  My problems persisted.

I was to reduce my alcohol, caffeine and sugar consumption in particular and change my diet in other ways, concentrating on certain foods and avoiding others.  She prescribed a selection of nutritional supplements which I have to take one to three times a day, the contents of which would make up for the deficiencies she had found in my system.

With the exception of the alcohol consumption I have done more or less what I was told to do.  Four months on my business problems are only marginally better than they were, but my bowel movements are regular and normal, I am sleeping like a baby with no bad dreams, I do not feel stressed and have no pains in my tummy or chest.

Life is back to normal.”
