Food allergies can be subtle, insidious, and dangerous. Every year millions of people suffer from migraine headaches, persistent coughs, sore throats, eczema, abdominal discomfort, tiredness, and irritability-and don't realize that their symptoms come from the food they eat. This book-the first comprehensive book on food allergies written by a noted allergist-helps us understand how different foods cause pain and discomfort and tells us how to identify the foods that have been afflicting us-so we can avoid them before the symptoms strike. In Food Allergies, Dr. William Walsh shares his extensive knowledge about the cause of food allergies, which foods and chemicals to avoid, and, ultimately, which foods will help you feel your very best. Filled with dozens of enlightening case studies and engaging writing, this unique guide offers a detailed, easy-to-follow diet tailored for adults and children who may be prone to allergies. It also includes clinically tested plans for cooking and advice on how to avoid troublesome foods at the store and when eating out.

From Booklist
Allergist Walsh sympathizes with food allergy patients, for he has food allergies, too. He explains how such allergies function and details how to identify and treat specific problems. Labeling on foods doesn't help all that much, he says, because monosodium glutamate, for instance, hides under several names and processes. Besides MSG, other major culprits are acidic foods, low-calorie sweeteners, and refined sugar. One should always suspect a food allergy as lying at the root of an allergylike problem, he counsels, and food allergies are too often discounted. Age doesn't protect from allergies, and one can become allergic to a food that never before posed any problem. Those who feel they might be allergic shouldn't immediately repair to an allergist, though. Instead, they should go to their primary-care persons, who will presumably look at the whole situation. If it then seems an allergy is possible, find a good allergist by using Walsh's advice. Other features of the helpful book include detailed diets, other practical approaches, and much psychological^B support. William Beatty
