Food Allergies and Food Intolerance: The Complete Guide to Their Identification and Treatment

Author:  Jonathan Brostoff

A leading international authority on food allergy and intolerance provides invaluable advice for achieving dramatic and long-lasting improvements in your health.

This book explains how sensitivity to foods is responsible for many chronic and misdiagnosed ailments such as migraines, sinus problems, and persistent fatigue.

Included is a step-by-step process for identifying food allergies and intolerances and suggestions on how to reshape your diet for better health.

Many people suffer from chronic, unexplained health problems - migraine headaches, poor digestion, recurring sinus symptoms, aching muscles and joints, persistent fatigue - whose causes remain elusive, even to doctors. When conventional tests fail to provide a clear-cut diagnosis, doctors often suggest that these symptoms are due to stress or anxiety, but now Jonathan Brostoff and Linda Gamlin demonstrate that quite often food allergies and food intolerance are the true culprits in these situations.

The authors provide clear explanations of the causes of, as well as the differences between, food allergies and food intolerance and offer numerous case studies on problems, all too familiar, to many readers. More important, they provide much-needed solutions and treatments for these problems. Along with a wealth of illustrations and charts, Food Allergies and Food Intolerance" includes an invaluable step-by-step process for diagnosing food intolerance with a three-stage elimination diet and a system of gradual food reintroduction.

This book is a must for anyone who suspects a chronic condition may be linked to dietary sensitivity, "Food Allergies and Food Intolerance" supplies information that often results in dramatic and long-lasting improvement in people's health and in their lives.

The Kid-Friendly Food Allergy Cookbook: More Than 150 Recipes That Are Wheat-Free, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Nut-Free, Egg-Free, and Low in Sugar

Author:  Leslie Hammond

Millions of children across the country have food sensitivities or allergies, and the number is on the rise. And most of these children don't get to eat cookies, for fear of the reaction they might have from the wheat, or the peanuts.

Imagine the feeling a young child must have, as they stand there watching their friends munch on cookies just out of Mom’s oven, while they have to make do with yet another carrot stick...

Leslie Hammond knows that left-out feeling all too well. As a child, she suffered from severe food allergies and would watch year after year as, when the birthday song had ended and she'd blown out the candles, her fancy party cake was whisked away and served to her friends, while she ate a dry rice cake.

Now the mother of allergic children herself, Leslie vowed to spare her own children that trauma. She has developed over 100 recipes that will appeal to a kid’s tastes. Unlike other food-allergy cookbooks already on the market, her recipes hardly ever call for the kinds of ingredients that would gross out any kid - like tofu.

The book's recipes take into account all of the most common food sensitivities like wheat and gluten, peanuts, or dairy. Each recipe can be modified to fit the dietary needs to the child.

It’s divided into three sections - snacks, main dishes, and treats. Leslie and co-author Lynne Rominger also provide information about how to find what you need in a regular grocery store, instead of requiring a separate trip to the natural foods store. She writes from the perspective of an ordinary working mom, and doesn't design eating regimes that would take all day cooking in the kitchen to satisfy.

With the recipes in this book, even the most sensitive child will get a cookie, too.


Understanding and Managing Your Child's Food Allergies (A Johns Hopkins Press Health Book)

Authors:  Scott H. Sicherer

For children with food allergies, eating - one of the basic functions of life - can be a nightmare. Children who suffer or become dangerously ill after eating peanuts, seafood, milk, eggs, wheat, or a host of other foods require constant vigilance from caring, concerned parents, teachers, and friends.

In this empathetic and comprehensive guide, Dr. Scott H. Sicherer, a specialist in pediatric food allergies, gives parents the information they need to manage their children's health and quality of life. He describes why children develop food allergies, the symptoms of food allergies (affecting the skin, the gastrointestinal tract, and the respiratory system), and the role of food allergies in behavioral problems and developmental disabilities.

Parents will learn how to recognize emergency situations, how to get the most out of a visit with an allergist, what allergy test results mean, and how to protect their children - at home, at school, at summer camp, and in restaurants.

Informative, compassionate, and practical, this guide will be indispensable for parents, physicians, school nurses, teachers, and everyone else who cares for children with food allergies.


Taking Food Allergies to School (Special Kids in School)

Authors:  Ellen Weiner

Written for children, this book is also an important tool for teachers, parents, school nurses, caregivers, and classmates on the special needs of children with food allergies. Topics covered include sharing lunches, special parties and events,and appropriate snacks.

Great for reading aloud in the class. When read aloud by counselors, teachers, a parent or caregiver, other children can identify why a peer may be treated differently and begin to empathize with them. It will give understanding as to the symptoms and dangers of food allergies.

A quiz for kids is included along with Ten Tips for Teachers. Allergy-free pizza recipe also included. Colorfully illustrated.

About the Author:   Ellen Weiner was born and raised on Long Island, NY. She received a degree in English Secondary Education from the University of Albany. She began her writing career when her son, Jeffrey, was diagnosed with food allergies.

Authors:  Marianne S. Barber

Foreword by Hugh Sampson, M.D. The most comprehensive book on dealing with childhood food allergies, a problem that affects more than four million children in the United States.

As families struggle with a serious condition that can at any moment become life-threatening, the stress is often overwhelming. Now this invaluable reference provides the practical help and reassurance parents have been waiting for.

To write this book, Marianne Barber, whose son has serious food allergies, teamed up with a pediatric allergy specialist and a psychologist who treats many people with severe allergies.

"The Parent's Guide to Food Allergies" addresses in detail the practical, physical, and emotional issues kids and their families face, including vital information on:
  • handling emergencies
  • stocking a kitchen with safe, appealing foods
  • helping a child adjust easily in school
  • dealing with the stress that having a food-allergic child puts on family relationships

Food Allergy Field Guide: A Lifestyle Manual for Families

Author:  Theresa Willingham

“Eat Different without Seeming Different”. Help for Children Who Can't Eat Wheat, Gluten, Dairy, Eggs, Corn, Soy, or Nuts.

That's the goal of this positive, upbeat guide to helping families with allergic or celiac children - and the children's caregivers - manage food sensitivities to wheat, dairy, eggs, corn, peanuts, soy, and other common food allergens.

Written by a mother whose child can't eat wheat or dairy, this book offers practical advice for families of allergic or celiac children, including:
  • Latest research and discoveries on food sensitivities
  • Advice on reading labels, grocery shopping, and eating out
  • Tips on emotional, social, and psychological considerations so your child doesn't feel set apart from others by his food sensitivities
  • Pointers to help your child enjoy parties, field trips, and outings
  • How to avoid hidden food allergens (Did you know that licorice contains wheat?)
  • 100 kid-tested & approved recipes that make your child's food look and taste just like everyone else's
  • Plus valuable cooking advice on successfully using substitutes for wheat, gluten, dairy, or eggs. (For example, did you know that flaxseed meal boiled in water makes a great egg substitute in baking?)
  • Extensive resources such as mail-order addresses for hard-to-find ingredients, Internet sites, and discussion groups.
The end result is one convenient, easy-to-read, resource-filled volume gleaned from parents of food-sensitive children around the world––as well as the children themselves, who have found that a diet that doesn’t make them sick shouldn't make them feel different, either.
