Ben is like most children his age except for one thing…he’s allergic to peanuts! Find out how Ben takes
control of his peanut allergy in school, at parties, with friends, at t-ball practice, and during holidays. Kids will learn
to follow Ben’s example and speak up about their food allergy. This book will teach them how to deal with difficult
and awkward situations that inevitably arise when a child has a life-threatening food allergy. E-mail contact@peanutallergykids.com or click on the above link. Food Allergy Survival Guide - Living Well Without Dairy, Eggs, Fish, Gluten, Peanuts, Shellfish, Soy Tree Nuts, Wheat, Yeast
& More - by Vesanto Melina, MS, RD; Jo Stepaniak, MSEd and Dina Aronson, MS, RD
This is a great resource for those of you dealing with multiple food allergies. It has chapters on food sensitivites
and related conditions, creating and maintaining a healthy intestinal boundary, wheat & gluten sensitivites and celiac
disease, testing for food sensitivities, label reading, nutrition planning, kitchen basics, and it even covers the basics
on anaphylaxis and true food allergies. It also includes an abundance of creative recipes using alternatives to the
foods mentioned in the title. The authors assure us that "every recipe in this book completely excludes these common
allergens: dairy products, eggs, fish, shellfish, wheat and gluten, soy, peanuts, kiwi fruit, plus baker's brewers' and nutritional
yeasts. Strawberries and tree nuts are optional in a few recipes; however, in every case, one or more alternatives are
suggested that can be used instead." The only caution I would give is to those with life-threatening food allergies
(especially peanut allergy) who need to be careful about using foods in the same food group as your allergen. Some of
the recipes contain other legume products, such as chickpea flour or beans. Just as you would read an
ingredient label on any product, read the recipe thoroughly, and you'll be fine. Every recipe includes a nutritional
analysis, and the authors also provide a definition section for "Ingredients Thay May Be New To You." The
recipes sound creative and yummy! A great new book for your collection! For more information, contact Thomas Hupp,
