Editorial Review:
"How To Manage Your Child's Life-Threatening Food Allergies: Practical Tips For Everyday Life" provides the step-by-step information you need to create a safe and enjoyable home, school and social life for your food-allergic child. The book includes hundreds of easy-to-read tips and numerous real-life examples, checklists and sample forms.
You'll learn the nitty-gritty details of how to handle common situations, and be warned of potential dangers you may not have considered. The book answers all of your questions, including: How do you determine which foods are "safe" for your child and which are not? How do you teach others about your child's allergies? How do you turn your home into a "safe haven"? What do you need to know to create a safe school and day care environment? How do you handle children's birthday parties, family get-togethers, guests in your home, etc.? How do you safely travel? Or go to a restaurant? What potential hazards are lurking at the playground, the movie theater or your child's best friend's living room? What about sports, camp, Scouts and other extracurricular activities?
For those who live outside the U.S. - or are planning to travel outside the U.S. - the book also includes information particular to food allergy management in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Easily identifiable "International Perspective" tables with country-specific information are found throughout the book.

Rating: - Love This Book!
When my DS first developed food allergies, this was the book that was recommended to me. This book was a god-send to me when I was overwhelmed with what was going on. Almost three years later, I am still using this book. It is an allergy bible. Included in the book are sample restaurant cards, sample letters to write to your child's school, letters for medical personnel when you travel, tips on how to start a support group, how to read a label to recognize your specific allergen and much more! ...

Rating: - The best book for those with allergies!!!
My child has severe dairy allergies and this book helped me with so much. I now carry his medicine/epi pen in a special bag with all the vital information. Also, this book helped me to know that we are not alone and it gave me so much great information when going places with my child, even to friends/family. I recommend this book to anyone who has just discovered their child has allergies. A must have!!!
Rating:  - Disappointed..
I wasn't too impressed with this book. While it had a lot of info in it, I learned more through my research online. I expected a lot more from this book based on the preview and other reviews.
Rating: - Excellent - even for moms experienced with food allergies
I've been living with a severely food allergic child (milk, eggs, nuts, soy) for eight years, and have subscribed to the FAN newsletter all that time, so I am hardly a newbie when it comes to food allergies. And I just LOVE this book. I was pleasantly surprised by the wealth of completely practical information it contained. She has excellent ideas for traveling with a food allergic child. Her recommendations about making your home a safe zone and letting your child play at other homes are spot ... Read More
