A world-renowned researcher and physician offers the first book to identify the entire spectrum of food-related health conditions, from allergy to sensitivity, and what we can do about it. One in five people has food intolerances or sensitivities. There are also several autoimmune disorders that can masquerade as allergic disease. This means a lot of confusion, potential misdiagnoses, and incorrect or poor care. Dr. Ruchi Gupta shares revolutionary research from her lab to address the entire spectrum of food-related health conditions, arming readers with the information to ask the right questions and get a proper diagnosis. From debunking common myths (an allergy and an intolerance aren't the same thing--though both can have life-threatening effects) to understanding masqueraders, to learning about triggers (including environmental factors), Dr. Gupta uses a framework of identifcation, empowerment, management, prevention, and treatment to offer hope and help to the millions of people who are affected by food-related health issues -- Adapted from information provided by publisher.
