Product Description

Review

Breezy, uplifting, yet “meaty” and informative. -- Nancy Carol Sanker, OTR, Director of Educational Support Groups, Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA)

I ... agree with one main goal of this resource, which is to help your child ‘eat differently without feeling different.’ -- Janet Rinehart, Chairman, Houston Celiac Sprue Support Group, and Past President, National CSA/USA, Inc.

This book will be a welcome addition to references recommended by health care professionals to their food-sensitive patients. -- Kenneth Fine, M.D., Intestinal Health Institute, FinerHealth and Nutrition

Book Description

“Eat Different without Seeming Different”.
Help for Children Who Can't Eat Wheat, Gluten, Dairy, Eggs, Corn, Soy, or Nuts.

That’s the goal of this positive, upbeat guide to helping families with allergic or celiac children––and the children's caregivers––manage food sensitivities to wheat, dairy, eggs, corn, peanuts, soy, and other common food allergens.

Written by a mother whose child can't eat wheat or dairy, this book offers practical advice for families of allergic or celiac children, including:

• Latest research and discoveries on food sensitivities

• Advice on reading labels, grocery shopping, and eating out

• Tips on emotional, social, and psychological considerations so your child doesn't feel set apart from others by his food sensitivities

• Pointers to help your child enjoy parties, field trips, and outings

• How to avoid hidden food allergens (Did you know that licorice contains wheat?)

• 100 kid-tested & approved recipes that make your child's food look and taste just like everyone else's

• Plus valuable cooking advice on successfully using substitutes for wheat, gluten, dairy, or eggs. (For example, did you know that flaxseed meal boiled in water makes a great egg substitute in baking?)

• Extensive resources such as mail-order addresses for hard-to-find ingredients, Internet sites, and discussion groups.

The end result is one convenient, easy-to-read, resource-filled volume gleaned from parents of food-sensitive children around the world––as well as the children themselves, who have found that a diet that doesn’t make them sick shouldn’t make them feel different, either.

This review is from: Food Allergy Field Guide: A Lifestyle Manual for Families (Paperback)
Developed a sensitivity to dry, mealy food sensivity books? Thirsting for a full-bodied treatment with an effervescent twist? As a mom of three kids, all of whom have food sensitivities, I found Ms. Willingham's book filled us to a healthful brim. We're assimilating her informed, humane, pragmatic support!

This review is from: Food Allergy Field Guide: A Lifestyle Manual for Families (Paperback)
I have just finished reading the "Food Allergy Field Guide," A lifestyle manual for families, by Theresa Willingham. I want to let everyone know that if they have a child that is not eating well, or that has growth symptoms that do not seem to be accurately diagnosed by their family pediatrican or doctor, that they should read this book. It will not only save many lives world-wide, but, more importantly, it will allow a great many of the worlds children grow to become healthy, productive young citizens of our country. Ms. Willingham has done an outstanding job of bringing Celiac Disease to our attention. I'd never heard of gluten sensitivity until I read this book, and I am so glad that I did. Congratulations to the author!!!
