Helena and I have been friends for a very long time, she is the true meaning of BFF. Her battle with allergies started when as a child, when milk was introduced, she was OK with breast milk. Like me Helena is in her mid 40's so when we were younger foods allergies were not really the norm. She unknowingly avoided both milk, breads and alike. She also suffers from hay fever, terrible hives and is allergic to keratin.
Helena lived in NSW then moved to QLD. Her allergies become so much worse once she arrived, her body reacted badly with temperatures and humidity. Helena started to become really sick her whole body would swell up, and nasty rashes would appear. She suffered with toilet issues and her glands became inflamed and swollen. She needed to be hospitalized several times, and after some back and forwards and battles with finding the right doctor, she was finally diagnosed with dairy intolerance and gluten sensitivities. To this day she suffers terribly with food and a general feeling un-wellness.
