This book has a lot of information and the author has lived experience. However, she has no medical expertise and there is no research cited. I’ve been struggling to sort out evidence from anecdote and was hoping this book would help. It did not. It also comes from the perspective of someone who is extremely sensitive, which is not the experience of everyone with Alpha Gal. I do very much appreciate some of the lists included that assist with identifying names for animal byproducts and carrageenan. It may be a worthwhile book for someone newly diagnosed IF they understand what’s been mentioned above.
A great book for the newly diagnosed AGS person. It is a bit scary but reality for those with the disease. For a mom who had AGS, it seems to be a very thorough book with some great ideas, list of do's and don'ts for foods, medicines and all kinds of every day products. Does come with the warning that she is not responsible for errors as she is not a doctor or scientist.
