Publisher's Synopsis
A food allergy is a condition in which certain foods trigger an abnormal immune response. It's caused by your immune system wrongly recognizing some of the proteins in food as harmful. Your body then launches a range of protective measures, including releasing chemicals like histamine, which causes inflammation. For people who have a food allergy, even exposure to very small amounts of the problem, food can cause an allergic reaction. Elimination diets remove a few or many suspected foods from the diet to learn whether or not certain foods could be causing your symptoms or making them worse. In addition to helping make the diagnosis, the diet can also become a way to treat these symptoms. The book contains over 350 recipes with nutritional information for all 8 basic allergies and more which include but are not limited to Dairy, Wheat/Gluten, Soy, Egg, Nuts, and Peanuts free recipes.
