The Parent's Guide to Food Allergies: Clear and Complete Advice from the Experts on Raising Your Food Allergic Child

 

The Parent's Guide to Food Allergies: Clear and Complete Advice from the Experts on Raising Your Food Allergic Child
by Marianne S. Barber,

Few things are scarier than witnessing a child having an allergic reaction, whether it manifests itself as wheezing or life-threatening anaphylaxis. Parents will do anything to avoid having their child suffer such a reaction again, but treading the line between being prepared and being paranoid can be tricky. The Parent's Guide to Food Allergies was written by a team of people who shared their expertise from the medical lab and the kitchen; two M.D.s and one Ph.D. collaborated with author Marianne Barber, the mother of a food-allergic son, who writes with a personal slant so often absent from medical guides. Barber understands the daily coping skills that are needed when living with an allergic child, from banning particular foods entirely to reading ingredient labels.

Especially common allergens like peanuts, wheat, and eggs merit separate chapters, while other foods are treated more generally. Each of the food-specific chapters includes a list of ways that the ingredients can "hide" in processed foods. Once you learn that milk also goes by hydrolysate, and that one of wheat's many aliases is seitan, you'll realize the importance of careful reading. The chapter titled "Hidden Allergens" expands on this theme, and while Barber does an excellent job of detailing the possible hiding places, she says, "careful labeling is well and good, but it doesn't eliminate the need for a judgment call on your part." There's also a chapter on anaphylaxis, in which the realities of living with Epi-pens and liquid antihistamines are faced in a kind, straightforward manner. A special recipe section includes enjoyable treats for the whole family that are baked with wheat-free flour, milk-free margarine, and applesauce instead of eggs. (The spice cake with fresh fruit is a delicious treat.)

At once gentle and authoritative, Barber's book is an excellent guide through the maze of childhood allergies. --Jill Lightner

5 out of 5 stars Soothing Support in Plain English, June 16, 2001

  Reviewer: Shirley Matthews, Ph.D. from New Jersey

What can you say about a book that is endorsed by the leading authority in the field and is yet written in a manner that even a non-science type like me found 100 percent accessible? It's about time someone filled this gap!! This book gave us the information we needed, in beautifully written, plain English, to both get our son the treatment he needed and to live with the allergies it was finally determined he had. Since both my husband and I have an intolerance to dairy we were told that my son's excessive vomiting was due to an intolerance to dairy. After reading The Parent's Guide, I learned that his symptoms were consistent with those of an allergic reaction. Armed with this knowledge, we were ready to do battle with the managed care gatekeepers and demand that he see a specialist. The allergist we saw found that our son is indeed allergic to dairy along with several other foods. And thanks to this book, I understood the process the doctors took my son through to come to this conclusion. When given the diagnosis we felt somewhat vindicated because like many parents with food allergic children "we just knew what the problem was" but then what do you do? Thanks to The Parent's Guide we knew what questions to ask the dietician and how to survive in a world where dairy foods appear to be everywhere!! This is a book that should be given to every school district and to every allergic child's teachers! I also believe this book would be useful to other psychologists like myself, who work with adolescents and families. We are giving a copy to our pediatrician so that she will know how to help other parents like us and to our parents who have even less understanding about allergies than we did and are not even sure they want to know more. This book is a wonderful guide; reading The Parent's Guide to Food Allergies is like sharing with a more knowledgeable friend.
