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.

What this book is about

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?
Battling with doctors: difficulties in getting tests done
I get a lot of messages like this one.
I have been battling the doctors and so forth. I’m at a loss of what to do. How long is the waiting list to see you because at this rate I’d fly down for an appointment to get my son seen to by someone who actually knows what he would need and would help him.
Thanks, Jess.
This is why I have written this book for you.
