A one-stop website talking about food allergies and what are the symptoms and causes of it. Does a nice job of clarifying the difference between food allergy and food intolerance. Does an excellent job discussing the various tests and checks for identify the allergen.
This page is a has good overall information on food allergy, with a link to physician's referral. It would be more helpful to have tips on how to select an allergist.
This page is an excellent quick overview of what food allergies are and the difference between a food allergy and an intolerance. Although this page is a quick read, the information is more than just general. It covers things like food families and cross reactivity and you don't see that in most articles. I liked the physician referral system. It lets you search by 10, 20, 50 or more miles. This is an extremely helpful page.
