She has tried all sorts of medical remedies over the years which have made little difference. Eighteen months ago she read about another possibility and started to do some research. She\u2019s not quite ready for me to tell you all about it, but she says I can soon. However she started the treatment just under a year ago and has now had four doses at three month intervals. Little by little she is finding she can eat things she hasn\u2019t been able to have for a very long time. The problem now is that she doesn\u2019t want to stop eating the nice things and is happily ploughing her way through everything from biscuits to scones with clotted cream to beer and white wine. Not everything is ok, although that may improve, and every so often it goes horribly wrong and she\u2019s unwell for several days. However on the up side for us she now needs to spend even more time walking so she can justify all the extra food she is eating!<\/p>\n<p>For her it is marvellous as she is getting so much pleasure from eating things that she couldn\u2019t eat. I\u2019m quite surprised she hasn\u2019t started to look like a piece of cheese the amount she has had and as for the pub\u2019s doughnuts with butterscotch ice cream and butterscotch sauce she has become a bit of an addict! Given it\u2019s about fifteen years since she could eat cheese without ill effect you can see why it\u2019s making her happy. Sadly chocolate and red wine are still not working out and she hasn\u2019t had the courage to try pepper, onion, tomato, ginger, strawberries or raspberries but when she shakes off the effects of the chocolate she\u2019ll try one or other of them to see what happens. For my part I like the caramel waffles best, oh and the ice cream!<\/p>\n<p>Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book as well as our other books are available <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/s\/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=rosemary%20j%20kind\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can find short stories to read at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alfiedog.com\">www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Now many of you will know that our Mistress has been plagued by allergies and food intolerances for many years.
