Review

Migraines. Mouth ulcers. Creaky, arthritic knees. Diarrhea. Are these four unrelated complaints, or the body's reaction to a food it can't handle? Despite its encyclopedic title, this is an entertaining book as well as an enlightening one that is both fascinating and highly readable. It's also scary, telling us that some of the foods that are ubiquitous in our diets--wheat and milk products--may be making us miserable in ways we never imagined.

From the Inside Flap

Here is a concise guide to identifying, preventing, and treating allergy-based ailments. The book also covers adverse reactions to cosmetics, pesticides, plastics, tap water, food additives, and workplace items, and features an elimination diet.
