Anderson tackles a scary problem in a friendly way by sharing stories from other parents and guidance from medical professionals along with the latest research about food allergies. The case studies help readers identify with various symptoms of food allergies that can often be hard to see and can be missed by physicians at first glance. She explores the feelings of denial and guilt that a parent may experience along with difficulties between spouses, relatives and friends with ways to proactively handle these problems including a chapter written by her husband that is geared towards fathers to be supportive and how to minimize risks. The perspectives from the doctors offer specialists in allergy, psychology, pediatrics and homeopathy. Each physician looks at problems differently which can help parents better understand their child’s physician. Research on the latest food allergy studies are world-wide and include over 160 references. Questions are tackled such as, "Why are food allergies on the rise?” and “How are food allergies linked to autism, ADHD and asthma? " In addition to the discussion of studies and theories, there are practical solutions to everyday problems. Should a parent keep their child home rather than send them to pre-school? If so, how can the child be best prepared? Once entering school, what plans can be created to safeguard the child at school? If a family is planning to travel, what considerations, emergency phone numbers and airline guidelines are in place with respect to food allergy concerns? A significant portion of the book explains diet and ingredients that often disguise the allergy food. Suggestions are outlined for avoiding risky foods and re-thinking diet as well as creating a stress-free, safe-haven at home. Solutions for social situations are explored, for example, how to attend a birthday party prepared with goodies and communication to spouse, child and host. The emotional aspects are addressed such as how awkward a parent may feel when addressing other adults about risks to their own child or how frustration can emerge between people. Flourishing is useful for parent and any caretaker (medical or educational) as well as organizations which handle food. This book explains the issues with which people must deal when their family member has a serious food allergy. Drawing upon the experiences of many parents of varied circumstances and seeing into how each handles situations can help not just parents, but also those in the food industry (restaurants, cafeterias and manufacturers) and the childcare industry (home based, public and private educators) develop plans to address handling food allergic persons in a tactful and socially responsible way.
