Childhood is full of all kinds of food "rights of passage," ice cream, pizza, not to mention the trials of the school cafeteria. The Food Allergy Field Guide provides information about most of the major food allergies afflicting people in the United States-including wheat, eggs, peanuts, corn, soy, dairy, and tree nuts. The ages cover range from toddlers through middle and high school aged children. Case studies illustrate the point at hand and are interspersed between pleasant to read narrative.

Finally, a series of convenient fact sheets on corn, egg, soy, wheat, dairy, and peanut allergies is included in the back along with numerous resources for coping with food allergies.
