Please, please, please check out Robyn O’Brien’s book, “The UnHealthy Truth, How Our Food Is Making Us Sick–and What We Can Do About It.” (Broadway Publishing) If you suspect, or have concerns about your children having food allergies or food sensitivities, this well written book not only informs, it offers concrete, reasonable advice on how to make changes in your family’s diet. Food allergies can contribute to everything from skin ailments like eczema to temper-tantrums to chronic ear infections and lowered immune systems. Robyn is the founder of Allergy Kids in Boulder, CO — www.allergykids.com and is fighting the good fight in keeping kids and families healthy. Every parent should read this book…and it seems more than worthwhile to make mention of it here!
