My Kids Can't Eat That!: How to Deal with Allergies & Intolerances in Children

Description

Having a child diagnosed with a food allergy, sensitivity or intolerance can be a daunting prospect. How did it happen? What can they eat? What will make the symptoms worse? And can anything make it better? Award-winning functional nutritionist Christine Bailey has been pioneering allergy-free cooking for years. As a mother of three children with autoimmune conditions, Christine understands the effect food reactions can have on all aspects of you and your child's day-to-day life. This friendly, no-nonsense guide is everything you'll need to take a functional, holistic approach to food allergies or intolerances in your child. In simple language, Christine helps you make sense of the diagnosis, explaining the difference between food allergies, intolerances and sensitivities.

And of course, 60 delicious, family-friendly allergen-free recipes prove that you and your child can still eat well. With simple, practical advice on eating out, travel, shopping and more, plus sympathetic advice on how to deal with schools, babysitters and other parents, this is the book that parents have been waiting for.
