- Avoid exposure to all kinds of tree nuts and peanuts

Informative ans easy to read
5 Nov 2006
Format:Paperback
This book is clearly laid out with with all the basic information you will need to deal with a nut allergy. It would be useful for some one who is allergic to ALL nuts rather that just peanuts. It lists the many different types of nut and many not so obvious places you will find hidden nuts. Help is provided for the minefield of reading food labels. There is a good chapter on the use of medication in the event of an allergic reaction, and how to store and use your medication which is a useful reference to have should you ever need to explain this to anyone; such as a teacher or babysitter. My favorite chapter was on sending a nut allergic child to school. The authors give clear solid advice on what you will need to say and do to help make the school/daycare/preschool environment as safe as possible for your child. If you are starting off on a journey to learn more about nut allergy and how it will affect your life this book will help you.

Informative yet not overwhelming

Format:Paperback
As the parent of a newly-diagnosed peanut-allegic child, I've bought and read many books on allergies in the last few months. This is my favorite. It contains practical information and tips for dealing with a nut or peanut allergy. It is easy-to-read and includes real-life ideas for staying safe with a nut allergy, as well as being realistic that there are some limitations to places nut-allergic people can safely go. Even after reading several other books, there were a few new tidbits here.
I wish I had read this book first.

When my daughter was diagnosed with a potentially life-threatening peanut allergy, I was in a state of panic. This book, recommended by a relative, spells out clearly and thoroughly steps which can, and in some instances must, be taken to live with a peanut or tree nut allergy. From suggestions for reading labels at the grocery to tips for dining out and taking precautions while traveling, this book has helped me to feel well-informed and prepared to help my daughter live a safe and full life with her newly diagnosed allergies.
