Synopsis: Identify troublesome foods and find the diet that suits you. Food intolerance is common and involves an adverse reaction to a particular food. Far more people suffer from food intolerance than they do from food allergy, and it's important to distinguish the two. This book will cover: our relationship with food - historical background; what food intolerance is and isn't; difference between intolerance and allergy; other problems with foods - aversions, phobias, food poisoning; types, symptoms and possible causes of intolerance; how to seek an accurate diagnosis; managing and living with your intolerance; preventing recurrences.
