Is This Your Child? by Doris J. Rapp (1992, Paperback)

Dealing with allergies is such a challenge. It's so great to have a place to go with questions and find suggestions. A big help.

I was very happy with this book and have recommended it to other friends. It helped me diagnose a milk "sensitivity" in my son. He behavior has greatly improved since I have taken dairy out of his diet. I admit I didn't read all of the book... but there was a lot of info that pertained to my child in the first 150 pages. I purchased it based on a couple of websites that said it was a "must read" if you thought your child may have allergies.

This is the third time I have bought this book! I have given my previous copies to friends. My son had severe eczema as a baby all over his body and when I put him on the diet the book suggested to pinpoint his allergies I saw amazing results. He went from being covered with eczema to totally clear skin withing one week! Wow! I then used the diet to pinpoint the exact food he was allergic to and then made sure to avoid feeding him that food for the next few years. As a result he can now have small quantities of most of the foods he was allergic to because by giving his body a rest he seems to have outgrown the majority of those foods. I also used this book on myself to pinpoint small food and enviromental allergies. My husband who had asthma for most of his childhood and teenage years found the book eye opening. He too has found several allergic triggers that he has learned to now avoid or keep to a minimum. I would highly recommend this book to anyone with allergis or asthma. Great, great book.

great book to help understand allergies and a great tool to be informed prior to visiting dr. I will continue to reccomend this book to others with children who have issues that they may not know the cause of.
