Description
Book SynopsisSicherer 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).
Trade ReviewAs the subtitle of Sicherer’s book bluntly observes, these allergies can be fatal. That’s why this allencompassing and timely revision of his already praised book is so important for everyone who takes care of those with food allergies—from physicians, nurses, teachers and spouses to adults with food allergies and parents with children who are allergic to certain foods.
