Food Allergy Field Guide 
A Lifestyle Manual for Families
by Theresa Willingham
“Eat Different without Seeming Different”.
Help for Children Who Can't Eat Wheat, Gluten, Dairy, Eggs, Corn, Soy, or Nuts.
That’s the goal of this positive, upbeat guide to helping families with
allergic or celiac children––and the children's caregivers––manage food
sensitivities to wheat, dairy, eggs, corn, peanuts, soy, and other common food
allergens.
Written by a mother whose child can't eat wheat or dairy, this book offers
practical advice for families of allergic or celiac children, including:
-
Latest research and discoveries on food sensitivities
- Advice on reading labels, grocery shopping, and eating out
- Tips on emotional, social, and psychological considerations so your
child doesn't feel set apart from others by his food sensitivities
- Pointers to help your child enjoy parties, field trips, and outings
- How to avoid hidden food allergens (Did you know that licorice
contains wheat?)
- 100 kid-tested & approved recipes that make your child's food look
and taste just like everyone else's
- Plus valuable cooking advice on successfully using substitutes for
wheat, gluten, dairy, or eggs. (For example, did you know that flaxseed meal
boiled in water makes a great egg substitute in baking?)
- Extensive resources such as mail-order addresses for hard-to-find
ingredients, Internet sites, and discussion groups.
The end result is one convenient, easy-to-read, resource-filled volume
gleaned from parents of food-sensitive children around the world––as well as
the children themselves, who have found that a diet that doesn’t make them
sick shouldn’t make them feel different, either.
