Description

A revolutionary book that shows parents how to prevent food allergies from developing in kids, based on the groundbreaking recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine and written by a mother who cured her own children.When her infant daughter joined the 6 million children diagnosed with life-threatening food allergies, Robin Nixon Pompa ended up in the waiting room of Dr. Gideon Lack, a clinician researcher on the verge of a landmark breakthrough in allergy prevention and treatment. Within a few years her daughter, and then her sons, were completely cured.This new treatment – to carefully build tolerance to allergens through repeated careful feedings – is about to be embraced by the entire medical community (see the February 2015 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine or the new guidelines issued by the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology). Soon, instead of being told to avoid allergens like eggs and nuts, parents will be hearing, Feed your child allergens, early, carefully and often for at least the first five years of life.But kids, especially those at highest risk for food allergies, often don’t like the taste of common allergens. ALLERGY-FREE KIDS relieves this coming stress by providing simple and effective recipes to gradually introduce the offending foods into a child’s diet, in such trace amounts that they’ll avoid discomfort of any potential reaction and be able to build bodily tolerance. With a foreword by Dr. Lack and a pithy overview of the research, the bulk of the book contains 50 kid-friendly recipes. Chapters are divided by allergen, with sections on Eggs, Peanuts and Tree Nuts, Cow’s Milk, Sesame, Wheat, and Other Allergens (including fish and shellfish, kiwi and banana, citrus fruit, and soy). Each chapter starts with tolerance-building tips, feeding advice, and maintenance doses, followed by easy recipes suitable for babies (Open Sesame Sweet Potatoes to introduce sesame; Baby’s First Protein Shake for peanuts and tree nuts) and for toddlers (now able to eat Tahini Brownies or Hidden Almond Torte). The new guidelines render all wheat-free, nut-free, egg-free, milk-free cookbooks outdated, and ALLERGY-FREE KIDS is the book that will replace them, avoiding the lifelong struggle of food allergies and bringing joy back to family meals.https://www.amazon.com/Allergy-Free-Kids-Science-Based-Preve…
