Although 30% of American children are allergic to one or more foods, the several recipe books available to help plan safe meals for them (and for the 10% of adults who share their allergies) lack comprehensive guidance on other aspects of the problem. Your Food Allergic Child: A Parent's Guide was created specifically to overcome those deficiencies.
In addition to an extensive assortment of recipes and reliable guidance on feeding the allergic child (at home, at school, and while traveling), other sections include reference charts to the nutrient and chemical contents of common foods, medications, and grocery brands.
The book includes a foreword by Frederic Speer, M.D., nationally recognized authority on food allergies and author of several books on the subject.
Janet Meizel is a lecturer in the Department of Community Health, University of California School of Medicine, Davis, CA.

Chapter One
CHILDREN'S SPECIAL
INFANTS
It has been reported that there is a major growth in the food-allergic population in the United States. The reasons for this have not been discovered although there are many theories.
Scientists have discovered some genetic involvement in the transmission of allergic tendencies from one generation to the next. If you or your spouse have allergies, your children have a greater chance of developing allergic problems than if neither of you are affected. There are some things you can do to at least delay the onset of symptoms and give the baby's digestive system more time to develop. (Some physicians feel that the younger infant's less-developed digestive system allows more antibody-producing material to enter the baby's bloodstream, beginning the allergic process.)
Most authorities recommend that a mother nurse her baby if at all possible. No known cases of allergy to mother's milk have been found. It is wise, however, to keep track of what the mother eats. Some of the protein which the mother ingests can pass through her milk and cause symptoms in the baby. For example, if the mother eats fish and after nursing notices that the baby has more colic than usual, or has diarrhea, or is unusually stuffy, it is a good idea for her not to eat that same type of fish during the months she is nursing. This applies to all foods - and even to vitamins and medication which the mother might take. For questions about medication, consult the physician who prescribed it, or an allergist.
Physicians who deal extensively with allergic babies often recommend that
