    About this ebook

    Do you want an expert to help you understand food allergy/ intolerance? Well, this eBook is written for you – so that you can get to grips with the possibility of food allergy/ intolerance.

    I (Dr Rodney Ford) want to guide you through the food allergy maze. Most people are confused about food allergy/intolerances. Are you? Do you need some expert help?

    I have spent my career in medicine helping people understand and diagnose their food reactions. I am a gluten, celiac and food allergy expert. In my Clinic, every day, I see people who are confused about how to work out if they might be reacting to foods.

    I cannot see everyone in my Clinic, but I want to help you find out if foods could be making you, or your child ill. Do you wonder if you, or your child, might be getting sick by eating dairy? wheat? gluten? nuts? soy? additives? or something else? I have written this eBook to help you on your food allergy path.

    I want to help you crack the Food Allergy Maze.

    Best wishes, Dr Rodney Ford.

    Rodney Ford

    Dr Rodney Ford is a paediatric gastroenterologist, allergist and nutrition consultant. He is former Associate Professor of Paediatrics at the Christchurch School of Medicine, University of Otago, New Zealand. He is recognized worldwide as an expert on adverse food reactions. His major area of interest is the relationship between your food and your health – good or bad. In his clinics he is constantly seeing people who are suffering from eating foods that are making them ill. He has been interested in the relationship between eczema and food allergy for a long time. More recently, he has discovered that gluten plays a large part in the patho-physiology of eczema. Dr Ford graduated with Honours from the University of New South Wales in 1974 (MB BS). He went on to study food allergy and intolerance problems in New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom, was admitted as a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians in Paediatrics (FRACP) in 1981 and was awarded his Doctorate of Medicine (MD) by the University of New South Wales in 1982 for his thesis titled Food hypersensitivity in children: diagnostic approaches to milk and egg hypersensitivity. This was regarded as a major work regarding the diagnosis of food allergies in children. Dr Ford currently runs The Children's Clinic and Allergy Centre, a busy private clinic in Christchurch, New Zealand. He has written over one hundred scientific papers, including book chapters and many books.

      What this book is about

      I (Dr Rodney Ford) have written this eBook to get you thinking about the possibility of food allergy/ intolerance. It is very common. I solve these puzzles every day in my Clinic.

      I am a pediatric gastroenterologist and allergist, and am recognized worldwide as an expert on adverse food reactions. I have found that so many people are confused about the possibility of adverse reactions to foods. So, how can you work it out?

      This is why I have written this book for you.
