4.0 out of 5 stars
great info,
This review is from: Hidden Food Allergies: Is What You Eat Making You Ill? (Paperback)
Great info, well written, in a nice, clear, easy to read format.
If I had one complaint it's that they assume that you have the money to spend on getting tested for intolerances, which at over 250 quid is, for me at least, prohibitively expensive. Because they make that assumption and don't account for using, or give any real information about, an elimination diet, I found the useful information ended quite abruptly with no real way forward for me. I've had to get another book to research how to find out intolerances by elimination. The irony for me is that of being too ill to work and therefore too poor to afford the things that might actually help me get better. However I would highly recommend this book to people who can afford to get tested.

Good info,
This review is from: Hidden Food Allergies: Is What You Eat Making You Ill? (Paperback)
This book provides good information about how prevalent hidden food allergies are and how to identify them in order to improve your overall health.This book explains that: - The major cause of IgG allergies is a leaky gut - Your immune system can unlearn IgG food allergies - Once you've had the food allergy tests done, avoid those foods for 3 - 6 months - To help heal the gut, the following can be helpful: Vitamin A, the B vitamins, zinc, selenium, glutamine and enzymes - Butyric/caprylic acid can help heal the gut wall - Once you've avoided problematic foods for 3 months, add them back slowly and use a 4 day rotation diet - Trial new foods for 3 days - Trial one new food a week and no more For information on how to heal a leaky gut I would recommend the book No More Heartburn: Stop the Pain in 30 Days--Naturally! : The Safe, Effective Way to Prevent and Heal Chronic Gastrointestinal Disorders. Most or even all of the information in this book, and information on many other health topics besides, is also contained in Patrick Holford's other book The New Optimum Nutrition Bible and so that book may be a better value choice than this one, depending on your needs.

This review is from: Hidden Food Allergies: Is What You Eat Making You Ill? (Paperback)
This is a really interesting book. As someone who's suffered with food intolerances for years, I discovered a lot I didn't know, and have upped my supplement intake following suggestions in the book.The only word of caution I'd add is that it does attribute a significant amount of ailments to food intolerances - it has the potential to start making you think that everyone you know might have a food intolerance! That said, the advice given is spot-on, so I would highly recommend.
