Children on a Diet: How to Feed an Allergy-Prone Child Who Can't Eat Anything

Tatiana Zvereva is the director of the Association of Allergic and Atopic People in Russia and the author of the popular blog @deti_na_diete (60,000 subscribers). She is an allergy sufferer and a mother of a child with allergies—someone who had to find the causes of the problems herself, when no doctor in Moscow could help her son. Are you lost and don’t know how to help a child with allergies? Have you visited dozens of specialists, but there are still no improvements? You’re not alone, because we live in a world where 20% of the population suffers from allergies! In her book, Tatiana shares her story and her son’s story. This experience is supported by modern scientific research, confirmed by doctors, and tested in practice.

From the first part you will learn:
• what allergies are and what forms they can take;
• how to choose an allergist and prepare for your first appointment;
• what kinds of diets exist and when they’re not needed.

The second part contains 77 recipes for all occasions for both small and adult allergy sufferers—from nutritious breakfasts and dinners to tasty sweets and baking. And there’s also a bonus: photos of the author’s and her son’s favorite dishes.

The most common problem mothers face when it comes to food allergies is: “What should I feed my child?” In countries with more advanced medicine, everything is solved simply: first, the allergist establishes a diagnosis and prescribes a diet; then, a diet specialist creates a menu and teaches parents what and how to cook. In Russia, unfortunately, the second part is missing. That’s why this book is a real find! Basic modern concepts about food allergies plus a wealth of simple, accessible recipes that avoid the most common food allergens.
