Re: GREAT Book on Food Allergies

[Guest guest]

The other day I was at our local library and a new book caught my eye...

It is called " Understanding and Managing Your Child's Food Allergies " (A

s Hopkins Press Health Book) by H. Sicherer. Dr. Sicherer is an

Assistant Professor (Pediatric Allergy & Immunology) at Mt. Sinai Medical

Center. The book is a s Hopkins Press Health Book.

I was RIVETED reading this book. It would be a great one to request for

your local library.

The book is mainly focused on anaphylactic IgE reactions, but there is

plenty that people will be interested in.

I wish Dr. Sicherer " got " the connection between autism and food, but he's

not there yet. Nevertheless, this book is an excellent resource if you are

interested in understanding IgE reactions to food. I have a much better

grasp on the mechanics of food allergies than I did before.

This book provides an immense amount of information regarding food

allergies, testing, and case studies. It is very readable and I love the

format... a little info, then a case study to illustrate the point. The

author is like the Sherlock Holmes of food allergies... he is brilliant at

figuring out mysterious reactions.

One of the most interesting things I learned is that something exists called

" anti-IgE " which is being developed to counteract reactions before they

start (sort of a safety net).

This is a book I want to have my own copy of because I want to read it with

highlighter in hand.

Here's the link to Amazon. Beware... the hardcover is expensive but the

paperback is affordable.

I felt the same way about " The Complete Guide to Food Allergies and

Intolerances " . I loved this book because it helped me tremendously with my

daughter, who was getting sicker and sicker from a food INTOLERANCE, which

is different from an allergy. The info I learned in there is also helping me

with my son (her twin).
