This review is from: The Food Intolerance Bible: A Nutritionist's Plan to Beat Food Cravings, Fatigue, Mood Swings, Bloating, Headaches, IBS and Deal with Food Allergies (Paperback)

This book was an ok basic overview of food intolerance. It had extensive lists of foods to avoid, symptom lists etc. What it did not have was any scientific evidence to back up various claims. In the intro the author claims a connection between food intolerance and mental illness and claims that it is well known that many people with "celiac disease also suffer from bipolar disorder (schizophrenia)." I have no idea if this is true because there is no citation or reference as to where this info came from. Also, anyone who took psych 101 in college knows that bipolar and schizophrenia are too very different disorders, and while a healthful diet is always best, these illness are not caused by food intolerance but by abnormal brain function that cannot be fixed by a special diet.

While much of the info in this book makes sense (i.e.- don't eat food that makes you feel bad) it does not back up its claims with any sort of research. It also doesn't go into a whole lot of detail about elimination diets, which I thought was odd. Instead it recommends certain tests from specific labs throughout the country, claiming that not all labs could do these tests properly, which doesn't make sense and is a little suspect. I started to wonder if the authors had financial ties to any of the services/ products they recommended.

I wish I had this book when I was diagnosed with food intolerances in 2007. It's the most complete information I've found so far! If you have food intolerances and have been struggling to figure out what steps to take in your recovery get this book. Just one negative - the recipes aren't very inspiring.
