The Allergy Discovery Diet [Hardcover]

John Postley (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Food allergies are widespread, and many people have major medical problems related to allergies. The authors developed a three-week diet to identify the most common food allergies, such as dairy products, legumes, citrus, and corn. They name specific brands of food products to use in creative ways and offer many recipes--some quite tasty and others not so (lima bean pancakes!). The appendix covers definition and theory of allergies and common manifestations. This book is similar to Neil Orenstein & Sarah L. Bingham's Food Allergies ( LJ 2/1/88), available in paperback at a much lower price, $9.95. Choose one for public libraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent "discovery" book for those with food problems., March 18, 1999

This review is from: The Allergy Discovery Diet (Hardcover)

This book has excellent suggestions, and after trying this rotation diet for myself and my family, I "discovered" we ALL had a sensitivity to one food or another. I helped me discover why my son always coughed when the school year started. I now know why my daughter is dairy intolerant, my husband is also.

I recommend this book highly for its ability to help the individual really look at how they eat, and why.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book helped me tremendously, January 1, 2011

Excellent content. This diet relieves pain I've suffered for years from fibromyalgia, arthritis, and indigestion from food allergies. With experience, you'll learn to follow it strictly. It is extremely rewarding.

Easy to understand, very well organized, this book helped me tremendously.
