I highly recommend A Little Bit CAN Hurt to any individual looking for a positive, motivational
book to help you successfully navigate your way through living with food
allergies. Looking for a combination of
support and resources? This is it.

| A Little Bit CAN Hurt Book Review - S.A.F.E. |
Dr. Donna DeCosta’s compilation
of personal stories, specific every day suggestions, and medical advice is
simply written, easy to understand and offers a wealth of information. In a world filled with fear and anxiety, I
found every page of this book refreshingly positive.
The first part of this
book focuses on prenatal through adult food allergy challenges. You will find an incredible amount of
emotional and educational support in every story. Through ‘real life interviews’, families
share how they have successfully figured out how to manage their personal
worries and struggles. At the end of
each section, you will find helpful thoughts to consider, and invaluable tips
and suggestions for ‘possible next steps’.
The second part of
this book focuses on offering medical clarification and resources from
community members such as doctors, educators and community advocates. You will find simple explanations explaining
things such as: the differences between
a ‘dietician and a nutritionist’; allergic eosinophilic gastroenteritis,
eosinophilic esophagitis and asthma; 504s, IHPs and FAAPs; what teachers want
from you; and, resources for implementing food safety programs.

As a mom of two with
multiple and life-threatening food allergies, I can’t thank Dr. DeCosta enough
for adding such a human element to “the faces of food allergies”.
