The most complete guide to preventing, testing, living with, and
treating food allergies in children and adults. In this
comprehensive, evidence-based guide for adults and children with
food allergies and those who care for them, Dr. Scott H. Sicherer
provides all the critical information you need on preventing,
testing, living with, and treating food allergies. Organized in an
accessible Q&A format and illustrated with case studies, the
book thoroughly explains how to prevent exposure to a known
allergen at home, at work, at school, in restaurants, and
elsewhere. Emphasizing the most recent advances, Sicherer touches
on everything from handling an anaphylactic emergency to diagnosing
allergies and intolerances, all while detailing chronic health
problems caused by food, such as eczema, hives, and
gastrointestinal symptoms. He also shares: * the benefits and risks
of new therapies * new prevention guidelines * new approaches to
improve quality of life and reduce anxiety * the latest insights on
adult-onset food allergies * new diagnostic tests now commercially
available * approaches shown to increase safety in school * the
latest thinking on treating eczema through the diet * new doses and
self-injection devices for treating food anaphylaxis * new
information about food allergies that affect the gut Dr. Sicherer
also reviews food reactions that are not allergic, such as lactose
intolerance, irritable bowel syndrome, and celiac disease. He
explains how to get adequate nutrition when you must avoid dietary
staples and discusses whether allergies ever go away (they do-and
sometimes they return). Finally, he includes an allergy and
anaphylaxis emergency plan and checklists to reduce
cross-contamination. This is the most authoritative and accessible
allergy book on the market.
