An Allergic Chapter In My Life: Beaten by an egg

In intimate diary style, this tells of a mother’s fight to feed her multi-food allergic son, Samuel, from infancy to 14 years of age. Milk, gluten, many fruits, preservatives and, worst of all, egg produced frightening reactions. Lucy learnt to work around these restrictions. Gradually her care coaxed away his allergies until finally he overcame even the challenge of egg. Some delightful poems composed by the talented Samuel add particular poignancy to this tale.
