Description
Many people suffer from chronic, unexplained health problems—migraine headaches, poor digestion, recurring sinus symptoms, aching muscles and joints, persistent fatigue—whose causes remain elusive, even to doctors. When conventional tests fail to provide a clear-cut medical diagnosis, doctors often suggest that these symptoms are due to stress or anxiety, but in Food Allergies and Food Intolerance, Dr. Jonathan Brostoff and Linda Galin demonstrate that quite often food sensitivity is the true culprit in many of these situations.

The authors provide clear explanations of the causes of, as well as the differences between, food allergy and food intolerance and offer numerous case studies on problems all too familiar to many readers. More important, they provide much-needed solutions and treatments for these problems. Along with a wealth of illustrations and charts, Food Allergies and Food Intolerance includes an invaluable step-by-step process for diagnosing food intolerance with a three-stage elimination diet and a system of gradual food reintroduction.

A must for anyone with an unexplained chronic illness, Food Allergies and Food Intolerance supplies information that often results in dramatic and long-lasting improvements in people’s health and in their lives.
