Misc.kids Frequently Asked Questions -- Allergies and Asthma 
Resources
Revision 1.5


This FAQ is intended to answer frequently asked questions on allergies and
asthma in the misc.kids newsgroup. Though the comments are geared towards
parents of children, there is plenty of information for adults as well.

The information in this FAQ is the collected "net wisdom" of a number
of folk. It is not intended to replace medical advice.  None of the
contributors are medical professionals. Most of us either have
allergies/asthma or have relatives/children with asthma/allergies, so
this collection represents the experiences and prejudices of individuals.
This is not a substitute for consulting your physician.

To contribute to this collection, please send e-mail to the address
given below, and ask me to add your comments to the FAQ file on
Allergies and Asthma.  Please try to be as concise as possible, as
these FAQ files tend to be quite long as it is.  And, unless
otherwise requested, your name and e-mail address will remain in the
file, so that interested readers may follow-up directly for more
information/discussion.

This FAQ is posted regularly to news.answers and misc.kids.info.

For a list of other misc.kids FAQ topics, look for the FAQ File Index

Book Reviews
Revision 1.2


This FAQ is intended to answer frequently asked questions on allergies and
asthma in the misc.kids newsgroup. Though the comments are geared towards
parents of children, there is plenty of information for adults as well.

The information in this FAQ is the collected "net wisdom" of a number
of folk. It is not intended to replace medical advice.  None of the
contributors are medical professionals. Most of us either have
allergies/asthma or have relatives/children with asthma/allergies, so
this collection represents the experiences and prejudices of individuals.
This is not a substitute for consulting your physician.

To contribute to this collection, please send e-mail to the address
given below, and ask me to add your comments to the FAQ file on
Allergies and Asthma.  Please try to be as concise as possible, as
these FAQ files tend to be quite long as it is.  And, unless
otherwise requested, your name and e-mail address will remain in the
file, so that interested readers may follow-up directly for more
information/discussion.

This FAQ is posted regularly to news.answers and misc.kids.info.

 and
 One Minute Asthma

  Pedipress Asthma Publications 
 Pedipress, Inc.
 125 Red Gate Lane
 Amherst, MA 01002
 1-800-611-6081 (US)
Both English and Spanish versions are available.

These two books are well-written guides to help parents understand and
deal with their children's asthma. The information applies to adults, as well,
however, these books do not assume that the asthma patient will be the
person monitoring the patient's condition on a day-to-day basis. This is
a rather realistic assumption for parents of young children. Other information
is available from this company, including a peak flow diary, an asthma
signs diary, and a children's story Winning over Asthma.

 One Minute Asthma is a 48 page booklet that contains short, concise
information on evaluating an asthmatic's condition, the treatment of asthma,
the types of medications used to treat asthma, and sample diaries for tracking
an asthmatics condition day-to-day. The language is suitable for a lay person
with no prior information on asthma. The example diaries are well-worth looking
at (free samples are also available from the publisher; see the Pedipress website
for more details). A two page list of resources at the back gives a good starting point
for more information.

Children with Asthma: A manual for parents is a longer book (278 pages)
with much more detailed information on asthma and it's treatment. The book's
tone is definitely geared towards parents, especially helping parents do the
most they can to help their child. The book expresses two very good attitudes:
1) a
well-educated parent can be a great asset in managing a child's asthma condition.
Whether or not the parent is well-educated can make a tremendous difference is how
well the child's asthma is managed and how much the asthma affects the child's
life.
2) well-managed asthma should not regularly limit a child's
activities.  Children with asthma should be able to participate in
sports, travel, and other interests with minimal interference from
their asthma symptoms.
 The book gives information on a number of common situations
(school, travel, sports, choosing a doctor, support groups)
and from a number of viewpoints (parents, family, child with
asthma). The book inludes a resource list of organizations, vensors, and
publications, a glossary, and Canadian, US, and
British drug names.


 Children With Asthma
 Plaut, Thomas
  Pedipress Asthma Publications 
 ISBN 0-914625-05-5, paperback, $7.95.

 This book is full of practical information for parents of
 children with asthma --- from tips on how to cope to detailed
 treatment plans. The commonly prescribed asthma medicines are all
 clearly described, as are the symptoms of asthma and common
 causes. A must-have for every parent.

 

Allergies:  The Complete Guide to Diagnosis, Treatment, and Daily
Management 
Stuart H. Young, M.D., Bruce S. Dobozin, M.D., Margaret Miner and
the editors of Consumer Reports Books
1991

Consumers Union put out this edition.  This is a slightly better
overview than the one listed below.

 

The Best Guide to Allergy
A.V. Giannini, N.D. Schulz, T.T. Chang, D.C.Wong
1985

Consumers Union put out the edition lying around my house.  This is
an overview suitable for people who are first having to cope with
allergy (whether their own or someone else's).  It covers asthma,
food, airborne, insects, etc.  No recipes, but the basics for planning
elimination diets.  They also insert some sanity in discussing the pros/cons
of various allergy testing methods (don't seem to seriously subscribe to
any of them, and generally favor a clinical history approach to diagnosis).
Not bad, but I'm sure there are plenty of others that cover similar ground.

 

The Peoples's Handbook of Allergies and Allergens
Ruth Winter
ISBN 0-8092-5391-7
1984

An encyclopedia of allergy terms, allergens and their sources, and
questionnaires to help identify allergies. There is also a listing
of information sources and manufacturers of allergy/asthma products.
Fairly complete and technically detailed.

 

The Complete Book of Allergy Control
Laura J. Stevens
ISBN 0-02-614450-6
1983

This book takes a very broad view of what an allergy is. The
book may even lean towards alarmist in some respects, but
it gives a very thorough list of possible allergies and
allergens as well as a detailed set of questions to help
pin down allergic reactions. The author's view is not the
traditional view, but the book can be a good resource for
generating ideas and taking inital steps towards identifying
and treating allergies. Some recipes are included for
food allergies.

 Is this Your Child?  Discovering and Treating
 Unrecognized Allergies in Children and Adults. 
 Rapp, D., 1991. 
 William Morrow & Co., nc., New York.
 ISBN #0-688-11907-7.

 This is an EXCELLENT book describing the symptoms and treatments of food
 allergies/sensitivities and environmental illness, especially when
 "allergy" is not considered to be the problem.  This book is recommended
 to parents whose child is always sick, hyperactive (labelled ADD or ADHD),
 cranky, a "slow learner", has chronic ear infections, etc.  There are
 pictures that show what these symptoms really look like.  The ideas and
 treatments in this book basically turned my 6 year old into a different,
 now healthy and well behaved, child.  It also help our family address
 longstanding problems since some of this can be hereditary.

 

 Tired or Toxic? 
 Rogers, S., 1990. 
 Box 3161, 3502 Brewerton Road,
 Syracuse, NY.

 I found this book in my public library.  It is quite technical, but gives
 a good discussion about environmental illness.  It describes methods to
 use in ridding your home (or trying to discover problems in your home) of
 allergy provoking substances.  If your child is allergic to dust mites,
 molds/mildew, household chemicals, etc., this book would help greatly.
 It also describes the importance of magnesium supplementation when anyone
 is supplementing calcium (especially kids on dairy-free diets).  It
 convinced me to supplement my children with calium citrate and mangesium
 in a 2:1 ratio.

 

Food Allergies Made Simple.
 Austin, P., Thrash, A., and Thrash, C., 1985.
 New Lifestyle Books.  80 pp.
 ISBN #0-942658.

 I found this book in my university library.  It is a very good basic
 book desribing the sumptoms and treatment of food allergies, intolerances
 and sensitivities.  I would recommend this book to anyone that wants a
 concise but accurate text on food allergy.

June, 1992 issue of CHEST, a medical journal for specialists.  This
issue is totally devoted to asthma diagnosis, treatment and
management.

2 Food Allergy Books

2.1 General:


 

The Complete Food Allergy Cookbook
Marilyn Gioannini
Prima Publishing
PO Box 1260BK
Rocklin, CA 95677
ISBN 0-7615-0051-0 hardback
ISBN 0-7615-0961-5 paperback, $16.00

This book came out earlier this year, and I am finally getting it
listed!  This is a good, general resource for people with multiple
food allergies who are are having a hard time figuring out just what
to eat. There is information on food allergies in general,
alternative grains, substitutions for common allergens, and dealing
with one's food allergies in common situtations, such as dining out.
The recipes section is well-organized, with recipes given in a basic
form then variations, if possible, to suit different allergies.

Each recipe is clearly laid out with information on nutrition given
at the end. I found the recipes easy to follow and was usually able
to get the ingredients listed. The author uses a wide variety of
ingredients, which is great for people with allergies!  There is a
listing of mail-order sources in the back, so almost everyone should
be able to track down the occasional odd ingredient. I found this book
to be a help in figuring out what I can do with some more unusual
ingredients, such as quinoa and teff.

Though it is a short section, I appreciated the pages on converting
old recipes to more allergy-friendly recipes. The information
provides a starting place for cooks who already know how to cook but
aren't familiar with allergy-free cooking. Three recipes are
discussed, giving the cook an idea of how to find a suitable recipe
for conversion then how to go about actually converting it. The book
also states what all allergy-free cooks have found: you may not get
what you expected exactly, but the new recipe will probably be quite
good anyway!


 

Mother Earth Cookery
 Margaret Ritchie ("Just Margaret")
 PO Box 22150, RPO Wildwood
 SASKATOON, Saskatchewan, Canada, S7H 5P1
 $10 (CAN) including postage, spriralbound paper, 55 pp.; available from author
 e-mail skyhawk@sk.sympatico.ca



This is a very interesting collection of recipes which, as the cover
states, features "natural foods free of glutens, sugar, yeast, soy,
chemicals, dairy, meat and low in fat". Though a few small points are
open to debate in this (is ghee really milk-free?), none of my
quibbles are show-stoppers. The book is a good source of recipes and
ideas. All recipes start with plain, unprocessed ingredients and require
some effort on the part of the cook, though no more effort than anyone
with allergies will have been putting forth already! The recipes center 
around rice, beans, fresh vegetables and fruits, making it a good 
source for those with many allergies or with vegetarian/vegan requirements.
Information on homemade egg replacers and milk replacers is given, though
some of the other ingredients may not be available in areas with restricted
food shopping (all are readily available by mail, though).  The author 
includes a number of good ideas for working with and around allergies,
especially suggestions for easing food preparation. The recipes are simple,
flexible, and nutritious.

My results with the recipes have been mostly good, though not
perfect; everything I made was interesting and edible, even if it
didn't turn out exactly as I expected. This may change as I become
more familiar with the various ingredients and gain a bit of practice
with each recipe. Since this is true for any sort of allergy cooking,
it seems, I am more than willing to put forth the effort on these
recipes. 

Where the book excels, though, is as a springboard for interesting
ideas. I can say with absolute truth that I had never thought of some 
of these ideas, and I consider myself a rather flexible and daring 
cook! The book is a good supplement to other, more mundane allergy
cookbooks, especially for those with lots of food restrictions (many
allergies, vegetarian/vegan, macrobiotic,etc.)

The Food Allergy Cookbook
The official cookbook of the Allergy Information Associaion
St. Martin's Press
New York, New York 10010
ISBN 0-312-90185-2
Paperback $4.95

I just bought the book (a new printing). Before, I went to the
library and copied the recipes that fit my allergies.
The author isn't overly optimistic and doesn't over-claim the
recipes; they are good work-a-day recipes, not fancy
stuff. All the recipes I have tried certainly worked well.
The book uses a variety of flours and tells how to make
various combinations that work satisfactorily for baking.

The Allergy Self-Help Cookbook
by M. Jones
Rodale Press Inc.
ISBN 0-87857-505-7
$19.95 Hardback

This book stresses eating a variety of foods. Many of the recipes
are fine, no-nonsense recipes for family eating. Most of the
ingredients are readily available (for me). I haven't followed
the recipes exactly, just borrowed ideas as I saw fit. The book
includes a very comprehensive guide to mail-order companies.
The book spends some time discussing environmental factors and
the rotation diet (which this book recommends). 

Updated opinion: As I have worked with my old allergies and added
some new ones, I've found the author's information on rotation diets
to be of great help. Previously, I had glossed over this section. Now,
I find the information on related food groups to be immensely helpful and
her suggestions for a rotation diet to be of interest. Though I don't 
follow a true rotation diet, the information in Jones' book has helped
me plan meals that suit my allergies and tolerances.

The Allergy Cookbook and Food Buying Guide
Pamela Nonken and S. Roger Hirsch, M.D. 
Warner Brothers Books, 1982
ISBN 0-446-37173-4 (USA)
ISBN 0-446-37341-9 (Canada)


This book focuses on six major allergens -- corn, eggs, milk, soy,
wheat, and yeast.  The authors give a listing (by allergen) of
general tips and substitutions for each allergen, then give detailed
lists of products which may contain the allergen under various names.
What is most helpful is the brand name listing of "safe" products, 
though the edition I have looked at is over ten years old and product
composition is likely to have changed. The last half of the book is
recipes for dishes that avoid some or all of the listed allergens.
For instance, there are 5 biscuit recipes, three of which do not use
wheat. (See recipes). There are also recipes for common condiments,
such as ketchup, that often contain a number possible allergens when
commercially prepared.
(Two sample recipes are in the Allergy Recipes page:  
Gluten free Biscuits  and 
Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies .



The Allergy Gourmet: A Collection of wheat-free, milk-free, soy-free,
  corn-free, and soy-free recipes
by Carol Rudoff
Allergy Publications
ISBN 0-930048-11-3
$12.95 paperback

I haven't used this book very much. Most of the recipes use
barley flour to which I may be allergic. The recipes contain
very few ingredients and are likely to be fine for people with
many allergies. As soon as I figure out the substitution for
barley flour, I will try more of the recipes. (A sample recipe is in
 Allergy Recipes

2.2 Milk/Dairy Free:



The Milk-Free Kitchen
Beth Kidder
1991
ISBN: 0-8050-1836-0

Ms. Kidder includes a wide variety of recipes, including baked
goods.  She does not rely upon milk substitutes (soy/rice milk,
etc.) as do some other authors.  She assumes the reader is
cooking from necessity, and may be inexperienced. There is a 
small amount on allergy,intolerance, and eating out.

This seems to be the most widely available milk/dairy free cookbook
around, which is fortunate, because it is, of the five I've looked
at, the best.  My sister bought my copy who knows where; I've seen
it at mall bookstores.  Lots of basic recipes.  The only problem
I have with it is the baked goods recipes are annoying (she
doesn't sift -- she sort of stirs her flour, and the measurements
are, as a result, difficult to duplicate).  I was surprised to discover
how well some things survive having the milk removed (pancakes,
biscuits, etc.).  She does not rely on soy milk as a replacement, either.
If you're *really* sensitive to milk products (as in, the whey added
to commercial breads causes respiratory difficulty), this book can
really be a lifesaver.  She even has a couple recipes for eggless
cakes.




Eating Well Milk-Free: a Cookbook and Guide
 Christine M. Wellington, Dietitian
 Relish Press
 Redpine Distributors
 Box 27, RR #1 Astorville
 Ontario POH 1BO Canada
 ISBN 0-9699787-0-7, spiralbound paperback that stands up as easel
 $23.50



Eating Well Milk-Free: a Cookbook and Guide is a useful
collection of information and recipes for those who must avoid milk
in all forms.  An overview of milk and its nutritional components is
given, as well as the various names under which it may be listed in
prepared foods. The author gives tips for dining out, shopping,
travelling, and feeding milk-sensitive children.  She also provides
Canadian contact information for food and pharmaceutical
manufacturers. Small, wallet-sized cards are provided listing the
various ways milk may be listed and common foods that contain milk.
One small personal nit-pick (recognizable to those who know me :-) is
that the author gives information on introducing solids to chidren,
starting around 4-6 months of age; some recommend delaying
introduction of solids until later, especially in allergy-prone
families. This is a very small point, though, and one on which there
may be disagreement.

 
The recipes are clearly presented and logically organized. The main
index is in the back of the book, divided by meal category
(breakfast, lunch, supper, beverages, sweets).  Measurements are listed in
imperial and metric. The recipes are for everyday home cooking --
this book would be a fine starting point for someone suddenly faced
with feeding a family a milk-free meal. The section on milk-free
sweets (cookies, cakes, muffins) is particulary strong, with a number
of interesting, unfussy recipes.  The recipes do not depend upon
having a milk substitute available (such as soy milk or DariFree),
which is convenient for those without access to these substitutes or
those with multiple allergies.  Some recipes do depend upon having
milk-free bread, margerine or mayonnaise; but, if you are
milk-sensitive, these (or substitutes) will have to be found anyway.
Many of the lunch and supper recipes use meat and/or eggs, so this is
not a book for vegetarians/vegans seeking to avoid milk.




Raising Your Child Without Milk
Jane Zukin
 Prima Publishing

This new book by the author of Dairy-Free Cookbook discusses raising a 
child that cannot have cow's milk, with all the issues that entails. The
author looks at children's nutritional requirements and how to meet them
without milk while still providing interesting dishes. Recipes for dairy-free
treats are also included. 



Dairy-Free Cookbook
Jane Zukin

This is not as good a basic cookbook as Kidder's, but they
complement each other well.  She relies a good deal more heavily on
milk substitutes.  This book contains substantial sections on: the
difference between lactose intolerance and milk allergy; foods at
franchises which contain milk products (this was an eye-opener);
where to obtain various milk-substitutes; calcium supplementation.
She also includes information on eating out.

The other three cookbooks I've seen were not too memorable (I only
flipped through them in bookstores).  I haven't bought any of
the general cooking around allergies books because my problems
are specific, and my husband's are atypical (neither of us is
sensitive to gluten, for example).

The following aren't specifically to cope with milk allergies;
I bought them because I found a lot of recipes in them that happened
to not include milk (eggs, etc.).



 No Milk Today: How to Live With Lactose Intolerance
 Steve Carper, Simon & Schuster, Inc., 1986 ISBN
 0-671-60301-0.

  I found it at my local library. It's an excellent book
 for explaining the process, describing hidden sources of lactose (like
 whey), and tips on eating out.

2.3 Wheat/Gluten/Grain Free::



The Gluten-Free Gourmet: Living Well without Wheat
by Bette Hagman
H. Holt & Co.
ISBN 0-8050-1835-2
$12.95 paperback.

The book is fairly thorough. It relies on a mix of flours
that includes potato starch flour, tapioca flour and xanthan gum.
These are not always easy to find. I have mail order addresses, but the
book lists a large number of them in the back. The recipes I have tried
haven't floored me, but they certainly are more than adequate. I need
to learn more about how these different flours work in baking before I
make a final judgement.
The recipes are more "gourmet" than the previous books. Most aren't
_so_ complicated, but the emphasis is on recipes that you would
feel comfortable serving to company. It certainly is more complicated
than my everyday fare.
(A sample recipe is in
 Allergy Recipes

Wheatless Cooking
Lynette Coffey
Ten Speed Press
Berkley, CA 94707
ISBN 0-89815-156-2
Paperback 10.95

 One net person states:  I was given a copy of Lynette Coffey's
 "Wheatless Cooking" book as a gift several years ago and I would NOT
 recommend it.  I have never used another cookbook where so many of
 the recipes simply do not work as stated.  I have altered some
 recipes so they at least function (by tripling liquids and halving
 cooking time, etc.) but most of my results with the recipes "as
 printed" have been somewhat disappointing.  Very few recipes are
 actually gluten-free (the author's son has a wheat allergy, not
 celiac disease).  Other books on the list, such as Bette Hagman's
 books, are a much better value!

2.4 MSG- Free:



In Bad Taste: the MSG Syndrome 
George R. Schwartz
1988

I picked this up recently, when someone finally pointed out that
I might be getting sick at so many restaurants on account of MSG
(my symptoms were headaches, nausea, sleepiness -- to the point of
feeling like someone had drugged me).  I've found that scrupulously
avoiding MSG (and all the names it hides under) has greatly reduced
my problems (but who knows; maybe I'm just finding better food).
Includes recipes for stocks, sauces, etc. of common commercially
produced foods that may contain MSG.  Lots of anecdotes; several
studies referenced.  (MSG syndrome, aka Chinese Restaurant Syndrome
is *not* an allergy, but can cause allergy like symptoms -- including
asthma attacks up to 12 hours after consumption.  MSG syndrome
is an intolerance, which, if sufficient quantities are consumed,
everyone will experience some symptoms of.)

4.5 Other sources:



Beard on Bread
James Beard

After flipping through several books on making bread, I was
very pleased to find one in which at least half the recipes didn't
contain milk (butter, imo, doesn't matter -- margerine is an
easy sub; milk is harder).  This of course is no good for folk
allergic to gluten.  :-(



The New American Vegetarian Cookbook
Marilyn Diamond

Note: I don't agree with the nutritional claims, but
the recipes are fine. Substitutes for a number of
dairy products are given. Emphasis on low-fat balanced
diet within "American" framework of foods. (A sample recipe is in
 Allergy Recipes 
 file.)



The Good Food: Pastas, Soups, and Stews
Daniel Halpern and Julie Strand

Possibly everyone else is good at inventing enjoyable soups and
stews off the cuff.  Having to cook for someone allergic to
chicken, turkey, beef, peas, tomatos, onions, and a array of spices,
can tax one's imagination.  I bought this book as a source of ideas,
when I discovered all the cookbooks around the house (Better Homes
and Gardens New Cook Book, Fanny Farmer, etc.) contained very little
in the way of soups built around lamb and pork.  I've only just
started experimenting with pasta, so I can't say much about that.
(Once I quit using MSG laced bouillons, I discovered I enjoyed soup
a whole lot more myself, too.)



 Full of Beans,
Spicer, Kay, 1993,
 Mighton House,
 Box 399,
 Campbellville,  Ontario L0P 1B0
 ISBN 0-9695688-1-9


I also want to put in a plug for rec.food.veg.  While neither my
husband nor I is vegetarian (some good friends who are Seventh Day
Adventists are, however), I nevertheless find this newsgroup very helpful,
particularly the vegan recipes (non-ovo, non-lacto means we can both probably
eat it).  It's also a good source for discussion of food sensitivity,
and how to modify traditional recipes for specific needs.

Along the same lines, I've tried using some vegetarian cookbooks,
but vegan recipes seem few and far between.  The Horn of the Moon
cookbook, by Ginny Callan, has a good non-ovo non-lacto cornbread
(the one in Kidder uses an egg), and it also has vegan cookies.
Unfortunately, my experience with vegetarian cookbooks so far has
been that they rely on eggs and milk products for proteins, and, if anything,
they're even harder for me to use.  So if anyone knows of a good
vegan cookbook, with an emphasis on baked goods, let me know.
