Food and dietary allergies are on the rise. According to recent data, about 32 million people in the U.S. report having a food allergy, and each year around 200,000 people seek emergency medical care due to food allergies. Anyone who suffers from dietary allergies knows how difficult it can be to find the right combination of ingredients that will nourish and sustain the body’s natural energy and vitality.

Amy Thurber, author of What DO You Eat? Sourcing and Cooking Pure Foods is an expert on preparing nutritious, delicious foods while avoiding allergies and inflammation.

Thurber is an author, foodie, farmer, educator, and artist living in Southcoast, MA. When her son was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease and she herself began suffering from chronic hives, Thurber discovered the healing benefits of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD). Having adapted the SCD to fit her own allergy profile, she now shares her recipes and insights through her book, published in March 2022.
