Product Description* A leading international authority on food allergy and intolerance provides invaluable advice for achieving dramatic and long-lasting improvements in your health. * Explains how sensitivity to foods is responsible for many chronic and misdiagnosed ailments such as migraines, sinus problems, and persistent fatigue. * Includes a step-by-step process for identifying food allergies and intolerances and reshaping your diet for better health. Many people suffer from chronic, unexplained health problems–migraine headaches, poor digestion, recurring sinus symptoms, aching muscles and joints, persistent fatigue–whose causes remain elusive, even to doctors. When conventional tests fail to provide a clear-cut diagnosis, doctors often suggest that these symptoms are due to stress or anxiety, but now Jonathan Brostoff and Linda Gamlin demonstrate that quite often food allergies and food intolerance are the true culprits in these situations. The authors provide clear explanations of the causes of, as well as the differences between, food allergies and food intolerance and offer numerous case studies on problems all too familiar to many readers. More important, they provide much-needed solutions and treatments for these problems. Along with a wealth of illustrations and charts, Food Allergies and Food Intolerance includes an invaluable step-by-step process for diagnosing food intolerance with a three-stage elimination diet and a system of gradual food reintroduction. A must for anyone who suspects a chronic condition may be linked to dietary sensitivity, Food Allergies and Food Intolerance supplies information that often results in dramatic and long-lasting improvement in people’s health and in their lives.

Food Allergies and Food Intolerance: The Complete Guide to Their Identification and Treatment
This book was okay for a 2001 publication. I would think it is outdated by now.
Rating: 2 / 5
This book does have some good information on food allergies and food intolerances, but the 470page book could be about 150 pages. The authors go on and on about all sorts of stuff that isn’t directly related– way to wordy. No many references and it seems like a lot of the information is opinion. Also, I’ve found more updated information on the internet.

I’m sensitive to most foods, vitamins & supplements. After becoming sensitive to a drug which I took for 32 years in Jan. , I became really sick. Didn’t get much help from doctors. At first, I blamed the drug but I now think that my system got all messed up & ended up with chronic fatigue syndrome. Anyway, I can’t take medications with the exception to the one I’m taking now & it no longer helps me so I’m weening off it. The immunologist that I saw basically told me that there was nothing wrong with me as he didn’t even believe that someone is sensitive to foods or preservatives. This was one medication that helped me somewhat as I was able to eat a few more things but he said in no time I would eat anything I wanted. Well, he was wrong. This started slowly 14 yrs. ago & progressively got worse. I was exhausted but now I’m just tired so that’s better. This book was a god send. He suggested taking yogurt with live bacteria & this has helped me tremendously with loose bowels which I’ve had since January. I was always a fast eater, I now chew my food thoroughly. He also mentioned sometimes people hyperventilate without realizing it so I work on my breathing. I do yoga twice a day & try to remember my breathing throughout the day. I would love to know why this started 14 yrs. ago but, at least, this book is a help. I have not been able to read it all yet as I do have macular degeneration so I can read a little at a time. This is a very good book for people who have problems with food.

It’s a big step forward: bringing this new under-diagnosed medical problem into the open. This is not“allergy” per se and most docs are unaware of the damage it does to people.
Rating: 5 / 5
This book is great. It has helped me immensley to understand food intolerances. I would recommend to anyone wanting to know more about the way foods work in our bodies.
