Hello!I was wondering if anyone has been tested for food allergies to determine if a particular food is causing inflammation, which in turn could exacerbate FFA. I had the skin test a couple of years ago at an allergy clinic, and it came back…Continue

Valerie - we are having a get together here at my home on Saturday - it will be our third and you are most welcome to join us. I live just close to the Beaconsfield turn off from the M40 so the journey is easy. There are 2 others coming from B'ham area. It would be lovely to meet you./ I guess you don't know anyone else with FFA - it can be a lonely journey on your own. Let me know and I will send you the postcode and details if you think you would like to do this - at present - there will be 8 of us including me. I am making lunch for you all. x
Welcome to Valerie - we hope you find our group helpful with info and supportive. Where do you live ?
Hi Meme - yes, I am doing lunch - if you arrive any time after 10.30 that would be great. I have no plan on how long our get together will last, but I'm sure your husband will enjoy the local hostelry ! Look forward to seeing you on Saturday.
Sorry
Meant to say can I bring anything and what time do you want to kick us out. My very unsubtle way of asking if you are planning lunch. LOL
Just in case you are, please do not worry about me. I am a coeliac and lactose intolerant, in others words a complete nightmare to feed, so if you are panning anything I can bring my own, but I do not want to offend. It's just that I have learnt from experience that it is better to say up front than refuse hospitality on the day.
Husband is driving over with me (over protective, bless him) and then planning to go to your local pub (he's got it all worked out) to read his book. Think he's secretly looking forward to the peace and quiet.

Hi C
I hit the negative GP/Hospital wall about 10 years ago, LOL. Have given up with them. Find you lot more informative!
Can I ask, how will you let us know directions and time for Saturday.

Oh ! Claire ! Thank you so much for making the effort ! Just get here safely and we all look forward to meeting you. You asked about what to bring - just yourself, please - you will have all made a great effort to get over here, and it will be worthwhile, I'm sure ! x
Hi Celia just to let you know I am working overnight on Friday and finish at about 9.15am. I am about 80 miles away and the route finder says it will take about one and half hours. Will therefore be will you all just as soon as i can. Looking forward to the get together. Claire.
