Allergies and Food Intolerances

Especially if you have children, it is absolutely critical for you to know how to prepare tasty foods that they will eat -- that don't kick off their allergies, or threaten their lives.

Today it's easier than ever to get on track with menus and foods that keep your family eating right -- and well.

A few tips can help you figure this all out.

1) Always read labels! Know what's in the food, and where it comes from.

2) Buy organic. People with food allergies and intolerances are often also sensitive to the chemicals with which some foods are preserved or processed; be careful of GMO foods, too (genetically modified.)

3) Learn to cook foods that contain ingredients you CAN eat.

4) Most health food stores now cater to people with special needs. Visit our markets page to locate one near you, or shop online for what you need. When you know what you want, you will be able to find it in many places.
