LOVE this book! by WBK
Finally a book that gives me all the answers and then some. I checked this book out of the library, but will purchase my own to keep. The information is invaluable!
The Best Food Allergy Book I’ve Come Across by skywise
This book was easy to understand, practical and informative. I’ve read several books about food allergies at this point, and food allergies for dummies is the one I found to be most helpful. If you or a family member have just been diagnosed and you’ve looking for information. I’d definitely recommend it.
What’s missing! by Gail Sangregorio
As a grandmother of an almost 3 year old grandson, with a severe peanut/tree nut allergy, I found this book great…but sadly, not complete. What is missing? Information about products, other than food, that can cause an alergic reaction. Products, for instance, like bean bag chairs stuffed with peanut shells; certain craft items, like paint or Moon Sand, made with peanut/tree nut oils. All are dangerous and can cause a reaction by contact. To keep him as safe as possible, I DON’T BUY ANYTHING UNLESS IT HAS A CUSTOMER CARE PHONE NUMBER LISTED ON THE LABEL. Everything he eats or comes in contact with must be checked and double checked!! Hope this helps others with the same difficulty.
