The Food Allergy Handbook

A healthy diet is only 'healthy' if it works for you and YOU are unique. Eating the wrong diet for you can lead to physical and mental problems, affect your appearance, alter your behaviour and limit your life. Changing your diet can truly change your life. Offering no gimmicks and no promises of a quick fix, Change Your Diet and Change Your Life guides you gently through understanding the ways in which food intolerance can make you ill. Detailed information on individual foods and food chemicals ensures this book is a comprehensive handbook of food intolerance and food allergy. Research evidence is presented covering a range of conditions including asthma, behaviour problems, dermatitis, fatigue, migraine, tinnitus, urticaria, and weight problems. The role of food chemicals (including amines, benzoates, caffeine, lectins, MSG, salicylate, and sulphites) is explained, and the difficulties that can be caused by individual foods is also outlined. This book is unique in presenting an easy to follow seven step plan that will help you identify if food intolerance is at the root of your health problems.
