Many people experience, or believe they experience, a physical
reaction to some sorts of food. These may range from allergies to
psychologically based aversions. Frequently difficult to diagnose,
they present particular problems for medical practitioners and
health care workers, and they impinge on the food supply system as
a whole. This book sets out to cover the whole question of food
reactions and intolerance in a sympathetic, impartial and
understanding way. It starts by placing the question in context,
with a look at overall questions of nutrition, attitudes to food,
and the position of food within society and within "alternative"
medical practice. The physiology of digestion is then covered,
together with food intolerance, clinical manifestations and testing
methods. Reactions to food additives, milk and gluten are
considered in detail. The book concludes with a chapter dealing
with the dilemma faced by patients with reactions to food. Anybody
with an interest in this subject should find this book useful. It
may be of particular interest to allergy specialists, family
doctors, dietitians and those likely to encounter food intolerance
professionally. It should also prove valuable to agriculturalists,
food manufacturers and retailers, legislators and consumer groups.
