Default booklist
My "knowledge base" could've been *a lot* better. So I will try and keep a booklist up here for people to access. I believe the first two books are absolutely essential. The first book (thanks for this Karen) is a book of food groups. Most of my mistakes were made because I did not have a resource book like this. The second book is geared to children but can be applied to adults. It explains what signs to look for in a reaction. It also explains all types of things that can cause reactions... including what to look for in your home.

I don't suggest buying these books at first. I suggest taking them out of your local library. Then, after completing your elim. diet, if you do find that foods are an issue for you... the first book about food families would be an essential addition to your library. It's on my Christmas Wish List.

If you choose to go through this process and find another book that you feel is necessary... please post the title and why it was so valuable to you! There are a lot of people here who want to know! (including me)

1. food families:

An Alternative Approach to Allergies
Theron G. Randolph, MD


2. signs, symptoms and sources of reactions:

Is This Your Child's World?
Doris Rapp, Environmental Physician

3. chemical explanation of simple vs. complex sugar (layterms) & recipes
This book is a good 'no brainer' elimination diet. I wish I had followed this. It would've spared me a whole lot of wondering if I was doing something right.
