Posing the questions that anyone with food allergies will
think to ask—and then some— Food Allergies provides
practical, emotional, 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, from single foods to food families,
clearing up misconceptions along the way. He explains how
exposure to foods can bring about an allergic response,
describes the symptoms of food allergy, and illuminates how
food allergies develop. He also recommends tests for
diagnosing both food allergies and chronic health problems
caused by food allergies—such as eczema, hives, and
respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms. Food
Allergies thoroughly explains how to prevent exposure to
a known allergen at home, at school, in restaurants, and
elsewhere and what to do if exposure occurs, including how
to handle an anaphylactic emergency. Dr. Sicherer also
reviews food reactions that are not allergic (such as
lactose intolerance), advises how to get adequate nutrition
when you must avoid dietary staples, and discusses whether
allergies ever go away (they do—and then sometimes they
return).
