This book was released on 2014-04-22 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Sherri A. Svrcek, MA, discovered that both her son and her husband were suffering from various food allergies and intolerances, it was a major adjustment for the entire family. Above all, she wished for a practical and positive handbook that would explain all the ins and outs of this difficult transition to a healthy and allergy-free diet. When she couldn't find one, however, she promised that when she made it through, she would write that very book herself. The result? Welcome to the World of Food Allergies and Intolerances, a parent-to-parent guide that takes a candid, humorous, and hopeful look at the issues food allergies can create for a family; Svrcek shares the very best ways she has found to overcome them. If your child has been diagnosed with a food allergy or intolerance, it can feel like the end of life as you know it: time and energy dedicated to researching ingredients, shopping at specialty stores, and planning menus weeks in advance. These changes can result in unexpected psychological effects as well, such as children feeling self-conscious about not eating the same foods as their friends, and parents frustrated at the newfound difficulties of a simple grocery-shopping trip. But believe it or not, it is possible to accommodate these issues while still maintaining a happy and healthy social life, even eating out and taking the occasional vacation. Among the helpful information in the book, you'll find meal ideas and resources for recipes, advice on where to shop and how to shop there, and everything you need to know for planning parties, ordering at restaurants, and planning vacation meals. In a society of sports drinks, fast food, and snack cakes, Svrcek also takes a critical look at the standard American diet, and how making nutritional changes might benefit everyone in the family-regardless of allergy or intolerance status. In addition, you'll learn about the best methods she has found for helping her son recover from Tourette's syndrome when Western medicine had very little to offer, as well as advice about alternative treatments for those facing autism and other developmental and behavioral issues. Most importantly, this valuable guide emphasizes the importance of maintaining a positive attitude, even when faced with the frustrations of adjusting to a new routine. Throughout the book, you'll find advice on how to talk to your children and family members, and ways to address many of the concerns that can (and will) come about after a food allergy diagnosis. Individual chapters on many of the top food allergens provide an up-close look at some of the most common offenders, while a section on cross-contamination will keep you in the know about making sure meals are safe to eat. So if you find yourself wandering the strange new world of food allergies and intolerances, be sure to consult this all-inclusive handbook to find the best way through your journey. Through the conversational tone and valuable advice contained within, any parent can confidently begin the process of transitioning to a healthy new diet, and providing the very best for their children and entire family.

Book excerpt: An easy-to-understand introduction to food allergies, sensitivities, and intolerances—unique but related conditions affecting many children and adults. The information, guidance, and resources offered make this a valuable tool for anyone struggling with negative reactions to certain foods.

What causes these conditions, and how can they be treated or managed? Why are certain foods, like peanuts and milk, more problematic than others?

Food Allergies and Sensitivities: Your Questions Answered, a part of Greenwood's Q&A Health Guides series, answers these and other questions related to this fascinating topic. Each book in this series follows a reader-friendly question-and-answer format that anticipates readers' needs and concerns. Prevalent myths and misconceptions are identified and dispelled, and a collection of case studies illustrates key concepts and issues through relatable stories and insightful recommendations.

Download or read book The End of Food Allergy written by Kari Nadeau MD, PhD and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A life-changing, research-based program that will end food allergies in children and adults forever. The problem of food allergy is exploding around us. But this book offers the first glimpse of hope with a powerful message: You can work with your family and your doctor to eliminate your food allergy forever. The trailblazing research of Dr. Kari Nadeau at Stanford University reveals that food allergy is not a life sentence, because the immune system can be retrained. Food allergies--from mild hives to life-threatening airway constriction--can be disrupted, slowed, and stopped. The key is a strategy called immunotherapy (IT)--the controlled, gradual reintroduction of an allergen into the body. With innovations that include state-of-the-art therapies targeting specific components of the immune system, Dr. Nadeau and her team have increased the speed and effectiveness of this treatment to a matter of months. New York Times bestselling author Sloan Barnett, the mother of two children with food allergies, provides a lay perspective that helps make Dr. Nadeau's research accessible for everyone. Together, they walk readers through every aspect of food allergy, including how to find the right treatment and how to manage the ongoing fear of allergens that haunts so many sufferers, to give us a clear, supportive plan to combat a major national and global health issue.

Download or read book The Truth about Allergy written by Angel Burns and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allergies and a number of food intolerances are affecting many individuals around the world and are the cause of many health-related issues. People will often have rather unpleasant reactions to some food they ate and question whether it is only an upset stomach or a food allergy. The interesting part is that one out of every three people will claim that they themselves have a food allergy or that they changed their family diet because another family member might have a food allergy. Research has shown that only about 5% of children have been truly diagnosed with a food allergy while only 4% of teen and adults have a certain food allergy. In order to understand what a food allergy actually is, it is vital to separate the terms 'food allergy' and 'food intolerance.' We describe a food allergy as a hypersensitivity to food; an abnormal response to a certain food group or ingredient that is triggered by a person's immunity system. A food intolerance causes the same reactions of a food allergy, but not from the immune system. Instead, the reactions come from the body not being able to properly digest the food. For example, if someone has a reaction to milk but they are not allergic to the lactose, they have a lactose intolerance. Some of these intolerances can be psychological in origin, but still produce a physiological effect. While it can be proven scientifically that someone has a food allergy, they are also able to trick themselves into thinking that they have one. If a person gets a headache each time they eat wheat, then they may think that they are allergic to the entire food rather than having a reaction to the density or ratio of wheat in the food. Psychological impacts for food allergies can also come from normal anxiety. Forgetting that a friend or child is allergic to a certain food and then serving it to them. The idea of being able to put someone in harm because of the development of a food allergy can be troubling for a parent or relative. This book is broken into different sections that include: - An introduction to allergy - Symptoms associated to allergic reactions - How to avoid trigger foods - The wonderful breakfast recipes - Main courses and side dishes - Delicious desserts and snacks Take precautions as early as now to avoid the adverse effects of any food allergy. Purchase a copy of this book and experiment with the various recipes within. Enjoy the journey!!
