As a fellow sufferer of this condition, I was eager to read any tips and information I could find on this difficult to diagnose and almost impossible to eat around problem. My doctor gave me little to go on, and I've been scraping for info ever since.I belong to a couple online forums which have helped immensely, as those similiarly afflicted share what they've discovered with the groups, but that's about it.What I'd hoped for in this book was an in depth view of what it's like to have the condition, ideas for eating, lists of sources of information, perhaps charts of fructose/sorbitol levels in different foods, and something beyond what my doctor first gave me when my test came back overwhelmingly positive.What I got was something hardly larger than a pamphlet, with little more than what I'd figured out on my own in the first week after my diagnosis.Oh yeah, and a bunch of recipes.After about 25 pages, this book is just a bunch of mainly milk-product-based recipes.These help me not one bit, as I am also lactose intolerant. (the author assumes many will also have a wheat allergy, not sure why, but ignores the possibility of lactose intolerance, which our forums have concluded are very common together) I didn't want a recipe book, but the bulk of this "book" is just that. :(
Good intentions, but the book is sadly quite basic.If you have food intolerances, try finding an MSN Forum for them first before buying anything.Real people interacting with you daily can provide the real information this author was trying to give.
