This is a great resource book that has everything you've
wanted to know about food allergies...and more. It covers food allergy basics, such as detailed information about anaphylaxis
and how to treat it, and it also provides information and insight into other food allergy-related issues, such as the
pros and cons of banning peanuts, theories about the causes of food allergy, as well as information about other food allergies
that don't fit into the "big 8," including food additive reactions. The book also includes chapters on diseases related
to food allergies, alternative therapies, eating in restaurants, and managing food allergies at school, camp and college.
It also includes a glossary of food allergy-related terms as well as a good resource section.
This is a one-stop book for everyone from patients, parents
and caregivers, to educators, school nurses, restaurants, as well as anyone else who lives with food allergies. I'll continue
to refer back to it time and again for the range of information it offers.
