Living with Food Intolerance

Price: £7.99

In stock

Description

Food intolerance is far more common than food allergy, with which it is often confused. Intolerance, which can stem from staples in the western diet such as wheat and dairy products, provokes various adverse reactions ranging from tummy upsets and rashes to tiredness and migraine. Unlike allergies, however, intolerance can often be managed by cutting down on foods or avoiding them for a while, rather than excluding them permanently.

This book covers

  • what food intolerance is and isn't
  • types, symptoms and causes of intolerance
  • how to seek an accurate diagnosis
  • the most common culprit foods
  • living with and recovering from your intolerance.

'This is a long overdue book, written in language that everyone can understand, providing much needed guidance for people with food intolerance.'
Muriel Simmons, Allergy UK

'An excellent introduction to the world of food intolerance, especially the detailed analyses of the myriad of triggers.'
Michelle Berriedale-Johnson, Foods Matter Magazine
