Att äta glutenfritt har blivit otroligt populärt. Och det är kanske inte så märkligt, för Sverige är ett av de länder som har högst förekomst av celiaki (ofta kallat glutenintolerans) i världen. Men trots att 1-2 procent av svenskarna har celiaki så lever många omedvetna om sin sjukdom. Frågorna kring gluten är många: Hur ser symptomen vid sjukdom ut? Är det alltid celiaki om man inte tål gluten? Vad kan man äta? Hur förändras ens liv? Och stämmer det att en glutenfri kost också är hälsosam? I Doktorn guide till gluten ger Jonas Ludvigsson, läkare och professor, en pedagogisk introduktion till celiaki, glutenfri kost och andra glutenrelaterade sjukdomar. Boken vänder sig både till dig som redan har en diagnos och vill veta mer samt till dig som funderar kring ditt eget glutenintag. "Den här boken kan ge dig kunskap som gör att du kan förstå din medmänniska, kollega, partner, familjemedlem eller dig själv Jag kan bara gratulera dig till att ha fått denna populärvetenskapliga bok i din hand." -Christina Ralsgård, Generalsekreterare Svenska Celiakiförbundet * Jonas F Ludvigsson är professor i klinisk epidemiologi vid Karolinska Institutet och barnläkare vid Örebro Universitetssjukhus. Under åren 2014-2016 var han ordförande i Svenska Barnläkarföreningen.

Det finns inte mycket skrivet om funktionsnedsättningen elöverkänslighet - och vad jag vet - ingenting alls om hur det känns att vara drabbad. Givetvis är det en katastrof att inte tåla el men jag har försökt ge en nyanserad bild av hur det kan vara att leva i avskildhet och isolering. Behovet av kontakt med andra i samma situation resulterade i att jag startade en blogg och under några intensiva sommarmånader levde jag med den dag och natt. Det blev för mycket och kroppen sa ifrån - jag fick symtom av datorn. I den här boken presenterar jag texterna från bloggen. Berättelserna - som skildrar vardagsliv och tankar - är personliga och ämnade att skapa hopp.

'A great read; I'm so pleased it exists in the world.’ Chris van Tulleken Unpacking the truth about what’s on your plate – and what it’s doing to your health Everyone is talking about ultra-processed food (UPF) and its impact on our health – but what about women?

Based on recent groundbreaking studies that will change the way parents feed their children, Allergy-Free Kids is a revolutionary guide to preventing food allergiesWhen her infant daughter was diagnosed with life-threatening food allergies, Robin Nixon Pompa sought the advice of Dr. Gideon Lack, a clinical researcher on the verge of a breakthrough in allergy prevention and treatment that would heal Robin’s daughter and, later, her sons. To prevent food allergies, new parents were once told to avoid nuts, milk and other major allergens. But extensive research has now concluded that most parents should embrace these foods, feeding them to their babies and children “early, carefully, and often,” until they are at least five years old. This life-changing approach is being embraced by the medical community, especially for peanut allergy, and is reflected in new advice from the American Academy of Pediatrics; the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology; and other major medical institutions. Allergy-Free Kids includes a concise, easy-to-understand overview of the research, as well as seventy simple and delicious kid-friendly recipes to help parents integrate unfamiliar allergen foods into a child’s diet. Organized by allergen, Allergy-Free Kids contains sections on eggs, peanuts and tree nuts, dairy, sesame, wheat, and fish. It also discusses other foods, such as kiwi and soy, which have increasingly been causing allergic reactions. The book includes feeding advice and maintenance doses, followed by recipes suitable for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers, such as Open Sesame Sweet Potato Puree, Nut Flour Crackers, and Eggs Pretending to Be Muffins. Following the new medical guidelines, Allergy-Free Kids empowers parents to help their kids avoid a lifelong struggle with food allergies—and to bring variety and joy back to family meals.
