  Common foods can cause a wide range of health problems, from migraine and fatigue to diarrhoea and joint pains. This guide aims to help the reader back to the best of health by going, step by step, through the complexities of an elimination diet. Material for this new edition has been updated to reflect current thinking and new discoveries and includes: evidence of a link between Multiple Sclerosis and chocolate; how diet affects behaviour - with emphasis on hyperactive children; a rewritten section on candida and giardia, now covering new thinking on gut flora imbalances; a no-sugar/no-yeast diet which has been found to be particularly beneficial; and updated addresses and many new case histories.

  Food allergy is often the reason behind many ailments. Many people suffer for years from symptoms as diverse as aching joints, migraines, ulcers and skin irritations without realizing that the problem may be caused by diet. In this guide to identification, prevention and treatment, the authors give a step-by-step approach of how to follow an elimination diet and include a discussion of alternative treatments as well as underlying conditions in the body. It also looks objectively at the scientific evidence and the controversies surrounding it, considers interactions between mind and body and looks at related problems such as chemical sensitivity. Dr Brostoff runs the UK's highly-regarded allergy clinic based at the Middlesex Hospital in London and teaches and lectures throughout the world. Linda Gamlin is a regular contributor to the New Scientist magazine.
