I have found this book to be very helpful. It has the best list of foods by botanical classification that I have ever seen (maybe the only one), with an alphabetical index. For instance, if you are allergic to all grains, maybe you should avoid bamboo shoots (bamboo is in the grain family). If anyone in this country is eating it, it is probably in the food classification list in this book. There were a lot of foods that I had never heard of. If you have a weak stomach and see a food name that you are not familiar with, don't look it up...you probably don't want to know.

This is an earlier edition of The Ultimate Food Allergy Cookbook and Survival Guide, so don't get both. The changes do not justify the name change.
