Food allergies can be subtle, insidious, and dangerous. Every year millions of people suffer from migraine headaches, persistent coughs, sore throats, eczema, abdominal discomfort, tiredness, and irritability-and don't realize that their symptoms come from the food they eat. This book-the first comprehensive book on food allergies written by a noted allergist-helps us understand how different foods cause pain and discomfort and tells us how to identify the foods that have been afflicting us-so we can avoid them before the symptoms strike. In Food Allergies, Dr. William Walsh shares his extensive knowledge about the cause of food allergies, which foods and chemicals to avoid, and, ultimately, which foods will help you feel your very best. Filled with dozens of enlightening case studies and engaging writing, this unique guide offers a detailed, easy-to-follow diet tailored for adults and children who may be prone to allergies. It also includes clinically tested plans for cooking and advice on how to avoid troublesome foods at the store and when eating out.

About the author

The medical profession's striving to provide good health drew me into this profession. I graduated from college with a degree in psychology, biology, and chemistry, from medical school as a medical doctor and the Mayo Clinic as a specialist in allergy and immunology. I diagnosed and treated thousands of patients with food sensitivity and developed a diet that relieved this sensitivity. It eased my migraine patients' headaches and reversed my Alzheimer's dementia. I dedicated myself to helping the sufferers of these debilitating diseases recover as I recovered. They deserve to live in independence and with clear minds.

Helpful. He does a great job of explaining how allergies work, with good examples that are easy to understand. His theory about MALS foods seems unique and I hope it truly helps a lot of people. I wondered the whole time reading it whether it is still accurate 15 years later. Just kind of stumbled upon it and I haven't researched whether this has been added to or disproved or something since then.

This is a very useful resource. The MALS food allergy information alone makes this book worth reading!
