Food Allergy Field Guide : A Lifestyle Manual for Families

Rating:
Summary: At last!
Review: Cookbooks for special diets are always a treat (especially for our family, where we have several different food sensitivities to deal with), but a highly readable, real hands-on coping manual like this one is a real find! Willingham puts food sensitivities in perspective, with humor and practical advice that I can actually use. This one's a keeper!

Summary: Help your child
Review: 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!!!

Summary: A Great Handbook for People With Food Sensitivities
Review: I have read the Food Allergy Field Guide and I believe the author has provided a wonderful resource of information for parents of food sensitive children or anyone coping day to day with a food allergy or food intolerance. The book's clear and easy reading style makes it my first choice when recommending literature on the subject of living comfortably with a food sensitivity. There are wonderful stories, tips, substitution tables, and recipes, all underscored by a rich collection of footnoted references.

Summary: It's About Time!
Review: It's about time that someone wrote such a complete, well documented, understandable book like this! It is quite obvious that Ms. Willingham has thoroughly researched the subject. It has become the food bible at our house. Unlike most books on food senstivities, this one is full of wit and character creating a pleasurable reading experience. I will definately look for more books by this author!
