  Constant expansion in the field of children's dietetics, associated mainly with food allergy and metabolic disorders, has necessitated a complete revision of this textbook. All dietary information has been updated in relation to new analytical data and with regard to today's scientific knowledge, foods and changing meal patterns. The special dietary treatment of various metabolic disorders constitutes a large section of the book. Also included is a normal range of therapeutic diets based on the material covered by the author in her complementary book Nutrition for Children . The new edition of Diets for Sick Children retains the aim of earlier editions: to give practical assistance to paediatricians, general practitioners, health visitors, dietitians, nurses and others in providing and advising on specialized therapeutic diets for children.
