Summary: Tremendous Help for Children with Allergies!
Review: I have read several books, and this one is the best. The book contains useful information for explaining the different types of food allergies, and chances for outgrowing these allergies. It also offers sympathy for parents of kids with food allergies and let's you know you are not alone in your fears and struggles. Most importantly, the book has GREAT recipes that are easy to make that the whole family will enjoy. I regulary make the zucchini and banana breads for my dairy and egg allergic son to take to school for snacks. Terrific book!!

Summary: Buy this book!
Review: I purchased this book, so I could get a better understanding of my son's tree nut and shellfish allergies. This book was so informative, from understanding what an allergy is, to how to handle an allergic reaction.I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves someone with a food allergy. Where I started out feeling helpless and scared, I put the book down, feeling empowered. By feeling confident and educated, I feel my son will be safer.

Summary: The Parent's Guide to Food Allergies
Review: If you have a child with severe food allergies, this book is like a bible. I just finished reading it and found it to be very educational. I would highly recommend this book to anyone seeking not only information about how to diagnose, treat and manage a food allergy, but to anyone who feels overwhelmed and discouraged by their child's allergies and medical conditions that result. I cried many times while reading this book because I felt like someone finally understands the range of emotions a parent goes through when dealing with their child's severe food allergies.

Summary: Hooray!
Review: Many thanks to Marianne Barber for giving us this extremely informative, practical, easy to read book! Discovering that your child has life threatening food allergies is overwhelming to say the least. Now we individually don't have to "reinvent the wheel" on our own. This book will save many parents and caregivers so much time by telling us what to expect, what works, what doesn't, how to handle difficult situations such as birthday parties, eating out, etc. This book will be a well worn, dog-eared, treasured reference in homes for years to come.

Summary: The Best Book on Dealing with child's allergies I have found
Review: This book is very informative when it came to learning about my child's food allergies. It taught me in depth aspects of his allergies to milk, eggs, wheat, nuts and soybean, along with not so common food allergies. It taught about what allergies were, and the most effective methods for establishing exactly which foods he was allergic to. It also has quite a few recipes focused towards kids that were just delicious. It teaches how to organize your house, deal with their allergies in the outside world (ie, restaurants, school, babysitter's, etc. ) and how to comfort you and your child and help deal with the anxiety, stress and depression that often occurs with food allergies. It has sections on explaining eczema, asthma and environmental allergies, which my son also has. It was a very informative and comforting book in helping me deal with my son's allergies. I recommend it to anyone and everyone who have children with food allergies!

Summary: Wonderful Book
Review: Until I started reading this book I had no idea how much I did not know about my son's food allergies. Recently we had an anaphylactic emergency which prompted me to get this book. I did have an Epipen but was unaware when I should give it. I had no idea that Epipens wear off after 15 minutes and may need to be given again. This book explains all of that. It is truly a great book that allergist should hand out to all of their allergic patients. If you have an allergic child I definitely recommend this book. dalebecky1@hotmail.com
