Download or read book Welcome to the World of Food Allergies and Intolerances written by Sherri A. Svrcek and published by Createspace Independent Pub. 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.

Download or read book Allergy Free Kids written by Robin Nixon Pompa and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on recent groundbreaking studies that will change the way parents feed their children, Allergy-Free Kids is a revolutionary guide to preventing food allergies. When her infant daughter was diagnosed with life-threatening food allergies, Robin Nixon Pompa found Dr. Gideon Lack, a clinical researcher on the verge of a breakthrough in allergy prevention and treatment that would heal her daughter and, later, her sons. The secret: building acceptance of allergens through repeated careful feedings. Instead of avoiding eggs, nuts, and other allergens, as previous recommendations held, most parents should introduce them into their children’s diets, "early, carefully and often, for at least the first five years of life." This life-changing approach is being embraced by the medical community, especially for peanut allergy, and is reflected in new guidelines from the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, the National Institutes of Health and other major medical associations. Allergy-Free Kids includes a concise, easy-to-understand overview of the research as well as seventy simple and delicious kid-friendly recipes to help parents integrate unfamiliar allergen foods into a child’s diet. Divided by allergen, Allergy-Free Kids contains sections on Eggs, Peanuts and Tree Nuts, Cow’s Milk, Sesame, Wheat and Fish. It also discusses other foods, such as kiwi and soy, which are increasingly causing allergic reactions. The book includes feeding advice, and maintenance doses, followed by recipes suitable for babies, toddlers and preschoolers, including Open Sesame Sweet Potatoes, Nut Flour Crackers, Cocoa "Puffs" and Eggs-Pretending-to-be-Muffins. Following the new medical guidelines, Allergy-Free Kids empowers parents to help their kids avoid a lifelong struggle with food allergies—and bring variety and joy back to family meals.

Book excerpt: The essential guide for anyone who suffers from food allergies. Posing the urgent questions that anyone with food allergies will think to ask—and then some—Food Allergies provides practical, sensitive, and scientific guidance on the topics that affect your life. Allergy expert Scott H. Sicherer addresses the full spectrum of food allergies, from mild to life threatening and from single foods to food families, clearing up misconceptions along the way. He explores how exposure to foods can bring about an allergic response, describes the symptoms of food allergy, and illuminates how food allergies develop. Organized in an accessible Q&A format and illustrated with case studies, the book thoroughly explains how to prevent exposure to a known allergen at home, at school, in restaurants, and elsewhere. Dr. Sicherer also gives valuable advice about what to do if exposure occurs, including how to handle an anaphylactic emergency. Finally, he describes tests for diagnosing food allergies and chronic health problems caused by food allergies, such as eczema, hives, and respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms. In this thoroughly updated new edition, Dr. Sicherer • describes new approaches to prevent food allergies • presents cutting-edge theories on risk factors for developing food allergies • describes innovative allergy tests to improve diagnosis • explains how to administer emergency medications for severe reactions • focuses on new allergens of concern, such as pink peppercorns • analyzes studies suggesting that resolution of an allergy might be predictable • talks about the role of "healthy diet" • lists additional resources, including allergy-related apps • provides revised school food allergy guidelines • offers insights into food allergy bullying—and advice to reduce it Dr. Sicherer also reviews food reactions that are not allergic (such as lactose intolerance and celiac disease), advises how to get adequate nutrition when you must avoid dietary staples, and discusses whether allergies ever go away (they do—and sometimes they return).
