Review from Kathie: The Parent’s Guide to Food Allergies: Clear and Complete Advice From The Experts On Raising Your Food-Allergic Child. (New York: Henry Holt and Company LLC, 2001). It’s written by a mom whose kids have allergies, but with lots of supporting information from experts. What I really liked about this one was that she was a straightforward mom whose developed some good tricks for dealing with her kids allergies (ie. at Halloween, she has a pre-filled bag of treats that her child can have. When they get back from trick-or-treating, she exchanges bags). She also deals quite a bit (I felt a bit too much, but some of it was really beneficial) with emotional reactions. |

| Comment from Kathie "The Food Allergies for Dummies is an excellent reference, although it does cover many different food allergies." |
