One review reads, "I was recently honored to read a new book out on the market--Anderson's Flourishing with Food Allergies. I loved the fact that it covers more than one family's story about how they learned they had allergies and how they started to cope with it. It also covers other diseases or problems that sometimes go hand-in-hand with food allergies, such as asthma and autism. Anyone who has a family member with food allergies should take the time to sit down and read this book. A must have for your food allergy library." Sheree' Godwin, Executive Director and Founder of Food Allergy Association of Wisconsin Inc.
Another review reads, "No parent of a food-allergic child should be without this book. If you have children with food allergies or suspect that your children may be allergic to certain foods, do yourself and your family a favor and read this book. It is thorough, authoritative, clearly written, and about as close to a 'bible' on the subject as exists." Dennis Littrell, Top 50 Reviewer, Amazon
A third review reads, "This book was an excellent read. It was chock full of useful information. The scope of the information is very diverse. I came away feeling like my knowledge of my son's food allergy was truly deepened. I also left with a lot of hope that it truly is manageable. I highly recommend this book for your food allergy library. The most fascinating part of the book to me, other than the personal stories, was the perspectives section--interviews of two pediatricians, an allergist, a naturopath doctor, a clinical psychologist and, most interesting, the author's husband (a food allergy dad). My absolute favorite line in the book, which I have copied into my own personal journal for inspiration, came from Dr. Roman Adler, a pediatrician, who states, 'When a child has food allergies, he or she is forced to become disciplined and assertive in order to survive... These qualities of discipline and assertiveness can serve the child well when he is an adult in the professional world. He is more likely to be successful''" Robyn Adams, Peanut Allergy Kid Founder
