Review
Midwest Book Review Modern diets cause all sorts of problems; from congestion and chronic migraines to coughs and joint aches. Dr. Walsh provides a focus on food allergy symptoms and dietary adjustments, telling how to identify common sources of food allergy and how to incorporate nutritional changes into all aspects of life. An excellent and easy book to use.

A reader from Minneapolis, MN , November 9, 1998 His patients rave about how he has changed their lives! I work with Dr. Walsh and when I first did a preceptorship with him I was given his book to read. After first reading the book I thought the ideas seemed extreme, but I am not an allergy sufferer nor do I suffer from any sort of migraines.I then began to visit with a few patients who have taken this book to heart and are praising Dr. Walsh for his medical expertise. Their quality of life has changed, maybe yours will too.

A reader from New Hope, MN , September 14, 1998 A book that will impact the quality of life of many people. Many people today go through everyday thinking the headaches and many other symptoms are merely associated to stress. This book provides many practical causes of the day-to-day symptoms of food allergies many of us suffer from. I had never thought much about sweetners and had mearly heard rumors about MSG and the impacts it can cause some people. Also, when one mentions diet, I think about scrimping to find something to suppliment the diet for lack of choices. Dr. Walsh provides not only causes but also solutions/alternatives to food sources that will not cause or at least diminish these symptoms. In keeping things short I would encourage this book not only to individuals that know they have food allergies but also to those that suffer from many of the symptoms like headaches amd nausea who are probably like me and never thought the food eaten may be the source of the problem. Wonderful book and easy to read. -- Book Description

Product Description
Food allergy sufferers can find their own food allergies

Tiredness, irritability, poor concentration, headaches, cramps, diarrhea, congestion - food allergy causes or aggrivates these and other illnesses. The foods most commonly responsible contain certain dietary chemicals: monosodium glutamate (MSG), low calorie sweeteners, and the excess acid and refined sugar of our modern diet. Experience gained from years of treating patients with food allergy can show you how to recognize symptoms caused by these chemicals, which foods contain these chemicals, and how to follow a two-week elimination diet to determine if these foods cause your pain and discomfort.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful for anyone suffering from food intolerance., December 2, 1998

By A Customer

I have suffered for months from food intolerance, including MSG-related problems. Numerous doctors could not make the connection, so I had to educate myself through reading. Dr. Walsh's book has been a Godsend. It is extremely helpful and is presented in a positive way.
