Allergy Self-Help Cookbook.......2007-06-06

I truly thought my doctor was nuts when she asked me to try eating the "elimination/allergy diet"...no wheat, dairy, egg, corn or sugar. This cookbook saved me totally. Good recipes and a great springboard for developing the lifestyle to feel better. It is also called an "anti-inflammatory diet", and has helped my fibromyalgia significantly. Money very well spent. Highly recommended for those trying to change eating habits, feel better or lose weight.

Misleading Name for your book.......2007-05-13

I was VERY disappointed when I received your book, the title indicates that the recipes are wheat-free....etc. In actuality some of the recipes are wheat free, some are milk-free, some are egg free, some are corn-free, etc. I was (past-tense) excited when I saw your book, as my daughter and I have to avoid these ingredients plus many more and I was tired of "making up" recipes on my own, I thought finally someone has done the footwork for me, however I was sadly mistaken, I have to modify theses recipes as much as my own, so I'll continue on my own.

Great for multiple food allergies.......2007-02-19

I am allergic to 11 different foods. This is the best book I have found so far to deal with MULTIPLE food allergies. This is not a book for the person with one or two allergies. This is the book for those of us who have to read every label every time. This book is worth the investment for those of us who really have a very difficult time eating at any restaurant and really need to cook at home. The recipies are diverse and include possible subsitutions and are tasty too!

Very helpful.......2007-01-10

This book has alot of helpful information as a beginner with the food allergen subject.

Best for food 'sensitivities' and rotation diets.......2007-01-02

This is a good cookbook, with many excellent ideas and some very interesting information. Unfortunately, Marjorie's desire to help every special dieter creates a book without a specific focus. She attempts to cover all types of food allergies (milk, egg, soy), intolerances (gluten, milk), sensitivities (including a rotary diet plan with food families chart and alternatives for things as obscure as black pepper), and even addresses issues on environmental allergens and toxins. No easy feat I must admit.

If your primary concern is food `sensitivities', this cookbook appears to be an excellent resource for rotary / rotation diets. I would recommend it for this. Yet, the subtitle declares `free of ALL common food allergens.' This is a big promise, and regrettably not one that it kept. Here are the author's claims:

Gluten-Free - There are many gluten-free recipes (breads, cookies, etc.) included and even a great section that explains all of the different flours and how they can be used. However, several of the recipes call for spelt, kamut, or oat products, which all contain gluten.
Wheat-Free - I did not view any recipes that contained wheat specifically, but I believe spelt and kamut are in the wheat family and a problem for many who have an allergy to wheat.
Yeast-Free - Of course, the quick breads, cookies, and other common dishes are yeast-free, but the few `yeast' bread recipes that are included did call for yeast.
Milk-Free - Many of the recipes call for goat milk, goat cheese, sheep milk, soy cheese (not specifying that most soy cheeses contain milk protein), and/or feta cheese (from a cow). The author fails to point out that most people who have a cow's milk allergy will also have a problem with goat milk, and some may even be more allergic.
Sugar-Free - This book is not suitable for someone who has sugar-free needs. Agave nectar, maple syrup, date sugar, and honey are required in many of the recipes. She does include a nice section explaining these natural sweeteners.
Soy-Free - I spotted soymilk, tofu, miso, and tamari sauce throughout this book.
Egg-Free - The quick breads are made with a natural alternative, and the author offers many great suggestions for replacing eggs in recipes. Nonetheless, a few egg-filled recipes did sneak in, including Macaroons and Eggs Florentine!
Corn-Free - I didn't spot any corn in this cookbook, though I am not certain how common of an allergen this is.

Other Diet Comments:
Vegan - One reviewer said this book is great for vegans, but I highly disagree. I don't think any vegan would want a cookbook loaded with recipes for turkey, chicken, pork, fish, venison, lamb, and even rabbit, simply because it has some good vegan recipes in it. Most cookbooks do.
Nuts - Marjorie does not claim that this book is nut-free, but she does state `free of all common allergens.' Tree nuts are one of the top 8 food allergens, but this book is loaded with nut-filled recipes. It did appear to be peanut-free though.
Fish & Shellfish - This is also a top 8 offender. As it is easy to prepare bread, dessert, rice, and other dishes without these ingredients, the book is mostly fish free, but there are specific fish recipes.

For those who have multiple allergies (such as the dreaded milk, egg, nut combo), picking and choosing recipes from this cookbook, could be a chore. I have had this cookbook for a couple of years now, but have only trialed a few of the recipes (with decent results). I would like to sample more, but I have found it too time-consuming to locate recipes that are suitable to my diet, that sound good at the moment, and that I have the ingredients on hand for.

The Allergy Self-Help Cookbook offers many great concepts and what sound to be some delicious recipes. If the author could either break this rather large collection (yes, I think there are 350!) into smaller focused cookbooks, create an index for the book that tells which recipes are specifically gluten-free, soy-free, milk-free, etc., or simply include allergy information after the title for each recipe (so that you didn't need to scan all of the ingredients), it would be a huge improvement.

The most fantastic book I have ever read-you MUST get the cookbook too, though!.......2007-07-09

The first time I went on this way of eating (it is NOT a diet) I lost 44 pounds. I felt SO much better! It is a way of eating for the rest of your life. You must be very dedicated and diligent in keeping on this way of eating as you make everything. Fresh vegetables, fruits, homemade breads with flours from the health food stores, that are buckwheat, rice, etc. that have no wheat gluten or yeast in them. It is so worth it, though. Illnesses that you have just disappear! I would recommend this book to anyone that has been sick for a long time, and doctors tell them that it is in their "head", which is what I was told. Or, people with high colesterol, high blood pressure, and many other ailments. I HIGHLY recommend this book! I also strongly suggest that you get the cookbook along with this one, as it has a lot of great different receipes to cook from!

Quaaaaak.......2007-06-10

If eating nutritional yeast supplements (dead) or yeasted bread (dead) could cause totally unrelated species of yeast (c albicans, living) to overbloom on your body, this would be a scientific watershed, and this finding would have appeared in a peer-reviewed scientific journal instead of a self-help book written at the third-grade level without citations, evidence, and plans for further research.

This book encourages readers to think that they can control a virtually unlimited range of maladies by applying a one-size-fits-all quack cure. It thus discourages readers from getting safe and effective help from real healthcare professionals.

I believe this shows an utter lack of ethics on the part of the author.

Readers would be better served by reading a history of medical science (e.g. The Cambridge Illustrated History of Medicine) or an introduction to critical thinking (e.g. The Power of Critical Thinking: Effective Reasoning About Ordinary and Extraordinary Claims).

Whoa! Get me off this hellish emotional rollercoaster..........2007-03-08

This book opened my eyes to the evil that moldy/yeasty/sugary foods can do to the body. Don't get me wrong, I still struggle with sugar addiction, BUT this book was the first to make me see how all the emotional turmoil I experience each month could be eliminated or minimized with the help of the M E V Y diet (Meat, Eggs, Vegetables, Yogurt). It is amazing how cloudy thinking, mood swings, energy levels, skin, could all be related to something as simple as sugar, but there your are. Thanks to you William G. Crook!

great book.......2007-01-19

i bought the book and learned a lot from it... i followed some of the steps in the book and realized how effective removing certain things from your daily diet has a remarkable affect on the body. i would recommend reading it and using it as a guide to what you wish to achieve... even following some of the steps helped me.

Didn't work for me.......2006-03-25

First of all, I didn't think the book was very well written - it needed much tighter editing. Many points are repeated over and over again, and I found several typos. It is also heavily aimed at Americans with poor diets.

However, I did it, although I had to go to 3 doctors to find someone who would prescribe the necessary drugs, and then only reluctantly. I have just finished 6 months on it and am going to stop now. It has helped none of my health problems, and I have in fact had new fungal rashes develop while I was doing it. The food restrictions make it very hard to lead a normal social life.

According to his questionnaires, I am a prime candidate for candidiasis, but this treatment did not make any difference. No harm in trying it, but don't put too much hope into it.

Book Description

In this newly updated book, Dr. Carolyn Dean, M.D., N.D., offers a medically and scientifically sound argument that yeast overgrowth - of which you may not even be aware - may be keeping you from losing weight. This yeast overgrowth, Dr. Dean explains, may be what is giving you those sugar, carbohydrate and alcohol cravings, and defeating your attempts to diet - not to mention causing a number of chronic ailments directly attributable to yeast overgrowth.

The good news from Dr. Dean is that the book's 6-point Yeast-Fighting Program, if properly followed, can destroy the excess yeast and take off the unwanted weight quickly and easily - including that stubborn belly fat so resistant to even the most effective diet plans.

Review.......2007-05-11

The information in this book was very helpful in my search regarding this medical condition. I believe that it was more helpful than any other book I have reviewed regarding this topic thus far.

The Complete Guide to Yeast.......2006-07-10

This book is packed with information on yeast overgrowth, symptons, rememdies, and meal plans. I found it very helpful in learning what yeast does to your body, how you develop candida, and how to stop the cycle.

Help, finally!.......2006-04-01

This book has been a lifesaver for me! After 7 years of suffering from a myriad of symptoms, going from doctor to doctor, with no resolution to my problems, I finally got some relief after reading this book. Little did I know, all my symptoms were related to one root cause: systemic candidiasis. After doing some research on the internet, I was led to this book. I had seen several recommendations for it, and excellent reviews. This book will help you to confirm what is happening in your body, and give specific steps you can take to start treating yourself to feel better. I have been putting Dr. Crook's suggestions into practice for a little over a month now and I feel so much better! So far, I have only been able to use homeopathic remedies - no prescription drugs - and have noted a marked improvement in my general health and well-being. I highly recommend this book to anyone who suspects they have a systemic yeast infection.

Good place to start.......2005-08-12

I agree, to a point, with the reviewers who didn't find this book to have all the answers, BUT like another reviewer pointed out, this should be just one of the books in your library. I have suffered from candida for more than 20 years. If the reviewer who claimed that candida was invented by the author had suffered from it, then (s)he would know that it is very real and can be, for some people, debilitating. I suggest you check this book out of the library before you buy it. If you are well versed in this disease, then you might not want to buy it... but if you are just starting your research, you'll find a lot of answers in here.

This is required reading for anyone who wants genuine.......2002-03-16

quality of life and medical care.

This book has really been a turning point in my own health trials and trevails and I applaud Dr. Crook and his confederates for persisting despite the typical reaction of the public in rejecting that which is not add water and mix. And yet, this is as simple as that in many ways.

I also enjoyed Proof Positive and really think that if Dr. Nedley could explore the yeast connection he would really have a very well rounded book because Dr. Crook has not ignored the very real and pervasive danger of chemicals and their deleterious effect on us humans and it's correlation to yeast problems.

Customer Reviews:

The Book That Started it All.......2004-06-02

Dr. Crook was one of the first to write about CFS,this book does have cartoons which make it easier to understand. This book changed/saved my life. My daughter & I were diagnosed in 1983(a rarity in itself back then)and told "good news is, yes there is something wrong with you. Bad news is there really isn't a standard drug or treatment. Except expensive immunoglobin therapy that your insurance won't cover since they don't really recognize CFS as an illness!" I didn't get the book until 1990 and read it from cover to cover the first night. Remember no real internet then and GNC carried vitamins and body building supplements, no St.Johns Wort, forget Acidopholous and CoQ10 sounded like a Star Wars character.THANKS TO DR. CROOK these things plus many others in the book made a complete difference in my health. Yes the other books listed are more informative, they were published later. If you can still find this one read it first. P.S. I was searching AMAZON because my 2nd copy is now so tattered and covered with notes from people I've loaned it to that it resembles a high school yearbook complete with heartfelt comments:)

Helpful Information.......2003-01-12

This book had extremely helpful information for those suffering from symptoms that relate to Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The author gives practical advice and explains the cause of often misunderstood symptoms such as itching, headaches, nausea, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, etc. If you are suffering from CFS, Fibromyalgia, or allergy symptoms, I highly recommend this book. This book was far easier to read and understand than many books on the topic. It also address overconsumption of sugar as a problem, which many authors are reluctant to address.

Don't bother.......2002-10-29

I've read other Yeast Connection books and they were much better than this one. The book has an over abundance of cartoons used for illustration and instruction, so much so that they are extremely distracting and make it very difficult to read. All of the information covered in this book can be read in the Yeast Connection Handbook and others. It basically repeats other books and adds too many cartoons to fill in the pages.

Allergy Self-Help Cookbook.......2006-07-08

I borrowed this book from our local library before purchasing it for my own use. I found that the first few editions were very helpful, but was disappointed that the writer eliminated a lot the substitution and nutrition information from later editions.

My family found that we do not care for rice flour, it's too gritty, however because my son, who is intolerant to all of the food categories listed in the title, can tolerate gluten products we were able to substitute spelt flour and amaranth flour for most of the receipes. Our favorite was the pizza receipe, we used grated Sheep Cheese, duck eggs, and rice milk as substitutes for the ingredients he cannot have.

It is a wonderful book.

Very informative.......2001-08-31

Although I did find that there are a few recipes which do contain ingredients that are supposedly not in this cookbook, I found the recipes interesting and tasty. If you ensure you use light buckwheat flour as recommended in applicable recipes and follow other hints provided by the author, I've found the recipes to be very good overall. This is a very good basic cookbook for people, like myself, who are just starting to discover the world of allergy free cooking/eating.

Very disappointing cookbook.......2000-12-29

Review by Linda Coss, author of "What's to Eat? The Milk-Free, Egg-Free, Nut-Free Food Allergy Cookbook".

Nine years ago, when my son was first diagnosed with multiple food allergies, this was the first cookbook I purchased. It proved to be very disappointing. The title of the book is quite misleading -- the book does not contain 325 recipes that are "free of wheat, milk, eggs, corn, yeast, sugar and other common food allergens." Many of the recipes contain one or more of these ingredients, and a large number of the recipes contain nuts, which is probably one of the most common food allergen there is.

I tried many of these recipes anyway, with absolutely no success. I realize that my family is not accustomed to "natural foods"-style cooking, but we still found these dishes unpalatable.

Misleading Title Left Me Disapointed.......2000-05-28

My child is allergic to nuts, which is certainly a common allegen. I was very disappointed to find nearly all of the baked goods recipes contain nuts. I did, however, find the general information in the first chapters to be helpful.

Not exactly 325 recipes.......2000-05-07

I felt the title and synopsis were just a little misleading. I can't eat ANY of the allergens listed. However, only a handful of the recipes don't have all of the allergens. A little disappointing because I had high hopes that this book would be helpful.

Book Description

Fatigue is the number-one complaint that doctors hear from their patients, but it is often dismissed as psychological. In the early 1980s, Dr. William G. Crook treated a 35-year-old woman diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). He created a successful treatment program for her that combined a sugar-free diet with oral antiyeast medications. Further research confirmed that sugar and yeast, along with other food and chemical sensitivities, are a major culprit in everything from headaches to anxiety to CFS and related problems. Tired - So Tired presents the doctor's program and additional research in lay terms.

The relief of simplicity.......2004-12-30

This book is uncomplicated, straight-forward and doesn't sway from it's belief system through contradictions.

The receipes are created with regular foods found in your grocery store and carbs are counted per serving for each receipe. Not a low/no carbohydrate concept, but more of a balanced body chemistry alternative... such as fruit can unbalance your bodies chemistry, and should only be consumed as an occasional treat. Takes the cave-man diet to a new, healthful, fresh and appetizing level while eliminating mold, sugar, additives and suggesting the moderate use of certain food that can upset the natural body chemistry.

Overall, it's a great feel-good type of book. Just like my new beverage of choice called s o y f e e. It's made from soybeans that you brew just like coffee. Caffeine-free, you'll find it at www. S oycoffee.com.

An excellent book to have on hand for reference as well as quick healthful receipes.

It Changed My Life--literally.......2004-09-07

I reached a point in my life where I was constantly ill. I had never-ending digestive problems, including loud, involuntary stomach rumbling (while in my college classes, how embarrassing), gas, sick stomach, and plenty of fatigue. I was a bit fat and depressed. Fortunately, I found this book. I won't say it cured every single thing in my life--there is no "easy cure-all." But it made such a difference.
The book has you eat a wide range of vegetables, some meat/protein, and drink only water. I ate nuts and yeast-free crackers, too. It sounds like a crazy change, and I admit I had a hard time with it. I wasn't always perfect, either. Sometimes I would get depressed because I couldn't eat all the donuts, fruit, dairy, and pasta that I loved. But what a difference in my health! That deprivation was so hard but 110% worth it. I lost weight and that was great, but I also had energy, my horrible, uncontrollable health problems went away, and I was happy again. What price can you put on just being happy and appreciating your appearance and having the energy to do what you want to do?
Also on the positive side, I discovered new vegetables that I really enjoy and a whole new way of eating. Also, I want to point out that it was hard to eat this way because I wasn't used to eating all these fresh vegetables instead of my processed, man-made foods and sugars, but the food was actually very good, colorful, varying in taste and texture, and creative. I learned what it was like to feel light and energized after dinner instead of too "full" and weighted down and tired. And I did go through the expected withdrawal period for 3-7 days at first (while my body was cleaning out yet still craving the toxins), but after that I felt better.
I won't say I was perfect after doing my cleansing eating period. I still love Chinese food, for example. But I know now how to take care of myself, and I wanted to make sure to share my experience. Anything worth having requires sacrifice, but let me tell you, this is worth it!! It's the real deal.

The Candida Albicans Yeast-Free Cookbook, Updated Second Edi.......2002-10-13

A yeast infection can manifest itself in a variety of ways. Symptoms include, but are not limited to, digestive difficulties, food allergies, joint pain, fatigue, and depression. Candida albicans, the medical name for culprit in most yeast infections, lives in everyone. A number of factors, usually related to lifestyle and eating habits, can allow it to multiply out of control, creating serious problems for its human host.

Although a medical professional can diagnose a yeast infection, it's usually up to the individual to get his/her body back into balance. The Candida Albicans Yeast-Free Cookbook, Updated Second Edition, by nutritionist Pat Connolly, provides all the information individuals need to restore themselves to good health.

Although it says "yeast-free" in the title, that doesn't mean that the recipes are prepared without yeast. Unfortunately it's not that simple. Yeast thrive on sugar, and the recipes are designed to eliminate sugar from diets, making the individual "yeast-free."

The basis of a sugar-free diet is the "Rainbow Meal Plan," developed by a team of doctors. The Rainbow Meal Plan is very simple: each meal "includes small portions of seven food groups: complete protein; grain or legume; root vegetable; yellow or white vegetable; green vegetable; red, orange, or purple vegetable; and leafy green vegetable." The portions are all the same size. Individuals may eat as many meals a day as they like, but each meal must contain equal-sized portions of each of the seven food groups.

Connolly provides some sample menus to help people get started on the plan. He has also provided a selection of recipes for a "Modified Food Plan" for those who are unable to use the Rainbow Plan. Most of the recipes are very simple and use easy-to-find ingredients.

He also includes tips on eating out, good nutrition, hidden sugars, and foods to avoid under all circumstances.

A comprehensive questionnaire at the beginning of the book will help those who suspect they may have a yeast overgrowth.

The Candida Albicans Yeast-Free Cookbook offers hope and practical help to all those suffering from yeast infections.

Excellent recipes and large selection of each type........1999-09-17

The recipes are great. The one for the home made mayonaise is fantastic. It is as good or better than the store bought. Each recipe I have used has been a delight. Even my husband is enjoying the food I have been presenting.

To (hopefully) clear up the confusion.......2007-03-05

In response to Kila Day's comment in a previous review that the title of Allergy Cooking with Ease was misleading, the book now has a new, shorter, and more accurate subtitle. ALL of the recipes in the book are free of wheat, cow's milk, eggs, corn, and soy. Of the 358 recipes and recipe variations in the book, 332 are also free of yeast, 348 are also free of sugar (most of the desserts are fruit-sweetened), 261 are also free of all grains, and 267 are also free of gluten. Although a few of the recipes call for alternative milk or cheese, often as an optional ingredient, 333 of the recipes do not. Obviously, most of the recipes are free of all of the allergens listed in the original subtitle.

I am sorry to have disappointed Kila and the reviewer who said that too many allergens were avoided in the book and hope that the new subtitle will make things more clear. Although I obviously can't please all people at all times, the original and revised versions of Allergy Cooking with Ease have many fans and satisfied owners (~40,000). Until the recent publication of my book The Ultimate Food Allergy Cookbook and Survival Guide, Allergy Cooking with Ease was my best seller.

I DO understand where Kila is "coming from" and sympathize. After thinking "I can't eat this" about most foods, if someone sees a few recipes they can't eat in a book, they immediately jump to the conclusion that they can't eat anything. With her "eleven kids too many," it's easy to understand why Kila may be doing things very quickly and without having looked at the book thoroughly.

Also, to avoid further confusion, the subtitle of the book can be changed in the "official" listings immediately, although it may take a few days for the changes to show up. However, there are quite a few books printed with the original cover design at this point. A revised cover is forthcoming but is not possible immediately. I apologize for the confusion to Kila and any other readers.

Helpful Recipes.......2007-03-03

I enjoyed this book, because I thought it was very insightful and helpful in dealing with food allergies. It is especially helpful for the person who is highly allergic and needs more exotic ingredients.

Disappointed in ingredients.......2007-02-13

I was very disappointed when I found out that this book has various recipes without certain of these ingredient. I was excited about this book because I have all the alergens mentioned. Then when I got the book the recipes only took out some of these ingredients so you could pick the recipes that left out the alergens that you have.
The title was very misleading! Because I have all of these alergies I was hoping that all of the recipes were free of these ingredients. I have not found one recipe yet that is free of all the mentioned alergens. I am thinking of sending it back.

Life Saver if You Have A Lot of Allergies.......2007-01-26

This book is a lifesaver if you need to avoid a wide variety of foods due to your allergies. I agree with many of the reviewers that some of the ingredients are exotic, but sometimes that is the choice you need to make if common foods cause allergic reactions. For example, corn alone is estimated to be in about 80% of the processed foods in the US. If you need to avoid corn, and other common ingredients, you need to get creative.

Thanks Nickie for giving us some creative options!

A Grateful Grandmother.......2005-01-09

When my daughter discovered her seven-year old daughter was allergic to wheat, soy, dairy, corn, Baker's Yeast, eggs, and chocolate, I was stymied. My daughter works outside the home and does not have time to do recipe-type cooking. As Grandma, I have had to fill in. Along with Internet sources, this book has been a tremendous help to me. Glad, too, to have discovered Vitamin C Crystals and various kinds of flour, which I didn't know existed.
