Good morning madam TA, and how are you now you've flexed your muscles with vigorous use of your  ?

Very thoughtful of you to post two messages, one for each ear, TA

I'm feeling quite a bit better now thank you, beginning to get the hang of this exclusion diet thing.  My stomach is loads better, the oral thrush has gone for the mo, although my mouth and tongue still get a burning feeling now and then (think it's if I inadvertently eat something that disagrees with me, like yesterday when I absentmindedly licked the golden syrup spoon when making flapjacks for Steve ).  My eczema is subsiding too, except for one or two patches which keep flaring up.  The main problem I seem to still be having is feeling so shattered, especially when I've done even the most easy and basic bit of cooking or housework.  But I'm getting there.  Thank you for asking

 Hi Sue,

So glad you are feeling a bit better, it must give you a bit of a lift to know things are working their way through your system. I know it takes a very long time for some people; when I had the restaurant I used to feel so sorry for some of my customers that I started reading up on various ailments, then I started cooking 'specials' for them & eventually they passed the word around & would often ring me ahead of coming in so I had a bit more time to prepare things. I did rather well out of it as I was the only place in town who cared. I had to keep everything separate & had special pans & chopping boards etc.
