Summary:
"Posing the urgent questions that anyone with
food
allergies
will think to ask,
Food
Allergies
provides practical, sensitive, and scientific guidance on the topics that affect
your
life
. Allergy expert Scott H. Sicherer addresses the full spectrum of
food
allergies
, from mild to
life
threatening and from single foods to
food
families, clearing up conceptions along the way. He explores how exposure to foods can bring about an allergic response, describes the symptoms of
food
allergy, and illuminates how
food
allergies
develop. Illustrated with case studies, the book thoroughly explains how to prevent exposure to a known allergen at home, at school, in restaurants, and elsewhere. Dr. Sicherer also gives valuable advice about what to do if exposure occurs, including how to handle an anaphylactic emergency. Finally, he describes tests for diagnosing
food
allergies
and chronic health problems caused by
food
allergies
, such as eczema, hives, and respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms. Dr. Sicherer also reviews
food
reactions that are not allergic (such as lactose intolerance and celiac disease), advises how to get adequate nutrition
when
you must avoid dietary staples, and discusses whether
allergies
ever go away (they do - and sometimes they return)"--Provided by publisher.
