ARTICLES, REPORTS AND RECIPES
Allergies
- Food allergy in the NHS
We often carry articles from allergy consultants or complementary practitioners specialising in allergy - or from allergy sufferers themselves - but, up till now, we have rarely heard from ‘regular’ NHS practitioners about how they deal with allergy in a general hospital situation.
Sudip Ghosh is a specialist registrar in ENT working at Manchester Royal Infirmary with an interest in allergy; he has recently published a paper on the relationship between childhood food allergies and rhinitis. He gives an overview of food allergy as he meets it in his clinic.
Allergies/sugar
- Sugar and spice and all things nice...
Jeniifer Butt discovers that living with fructose malabsorption of fructose intolerance is no way as easy as it sounds...
Peanut Allergy
- Living nut free
It was Kirsty Russell’s life-threatening allergy to nuts that persuaded her mum, Angela, to start It’s Nut Free - one of the very few manufacturers of baked goods to operate in a dedicated, nut-free factory.
As her contribution to Allergy Week this year, Kirsty wrote a week’s food diary to give non-allergy sufferers some idea of what it is like to live with a life-threatening allergy. Here are a few extracts. For more information on It’s Nut Free products go to www.itsnutfree.com or call 01609 775660
