[1605] Seizures: "I need to tweak my sals" (May 2021)

I was delighted to read the latest newsletter and see the information about seizures. I have had food and chemical intolerance since the 1970s, diagnosed in the US.I am 77 and really my whole life has been a struggle with allergies! Now I live in the UK where doctors are very scathing about these problems, particularly the seizures. I have been ridiculed and shouted at by medical staff and had concussion when I was allowed to fall on the floor. For the last few years I have been steadily getting worse in spite of low sals diet, no nasty chemicals etc. I now very rarely go out because strong fragrance (detergents etc) gives me seizures, also only one friend who went Fragrance Free can visit me.

In March 2020 I got Covid 19 when I had to go food shopping due to deliveries being unavailable...there was no food to deliver! That developed into Long Covid, which is only now starting to improve. I had a few days in hospital and had a major seizure there, (and fell as already mentioned) due to all the chemicals and awful diet I am sure. I had several more when I came home, what my doctor called 'funny (?) turns'. The good news is that on the Low Phenol diet, I have steadily improved! But due to the Covid brain fog and feeling so awful I needed some motivation and found your Failsafe Cookbook on Amazon which just shows that every cloud has a silver lining or somebody is looking out for me. I see that I need to tweak my sals in light of latest research now I have been on the website, and also watch out for propionate, which I today found in both gluten free and normal bread! Thank you so much for all the hard work you do - Sarah from the UK
