Book excerpt: Tolerating Troublesome Foods There are many books on excluding foods where adverse reactions are suspected. Tolerating Troublesome Foods is a book with information on how to put foods back into the diet with the best chance of success. It provides information on just how to maximize tolerance of foods in the Best Guess Food Guide of over 300 foods. This book was written by Joan Breakey, well-known dietitian who has specialized in food intolerance. She has conducted clinical research collecting information on the outcomes of food trials in food sensitive patients for over 35 years. This information allows people to expand their diet with a wider variety than they expected. Information is provided on factors that may affect whether a reaction will happen or not. This book is set out with many headings and easy-to-read information that is interesting and up-to-date. It can take people on a journey from a diet that is restrictive to one that is personalized to each individual's tolerance. It explains how and why each person's diet is different. Chapter 1 contains explanations of elimination diets and how to expand them, how to apply the information to each person, and why doing this is challenging. Chapter 2 explains adverse reactions, how individual they can be, the metabolic fingerprint, and what to expect when reacting, and the many symptoms. Chapter 3 shows that tolerance is different depending factors in the person permanently, occasionally, in the environment, and in the food itself. Chapter 4 shows how to apply what each person then knows to their own situation so that they can experiment with food in the way that best suits their lifestyle. Chapter 5 is the Best Guess Food Guide which has details on over 300 foods, how risky different forms are, how to test them, amounts to try, detail and stories about tolerance. Chapter 6 provides summary lists of the many foods to test from lower to higher risk foods at a glance, and the baseline amounts for the Family Elimination Diet, followed by a useful glossary and index.
