By Professor Anthony K Campbell and Dr Stephanie B Matthews

The first truly lactose-free cookbook

This book could revolutionise your life!

You could be one of the hundreds of patients Tony and Stephanie have cured who tell them: ‘Coming off lactose gave me my life back’.

Do you suffer from unexplained irritable bowel, severe headaches, fatigue, nausea, allergies, or heart palpitations? Are you being ‘poisoned’ by something in your diet? Have you been told to sort yourself out, or perhaps even see a psychiatrist? If so then you are just like the 500 patients Tony and Stephanie have cured over the past six years who were at their wits end because no doctor could explain what was wrong with them. It just wasn’t in the text books. They were intolerant to the sugar in milk – lactose.

Tony and Stephanie love their family suppers, and lunches at weekends. But it was not always so. Six years ago they discovered that three members of their family were intolerant to lactose. In fact, lactose in a whole range of dairy and non-dairy foods was quite simply ruining their lives.

It is a remarkable fact that some two thirds of the world’s adult population – 4000 million people - cannot digest lactose properly. It is the white Northern Europeans who are the odd ones out. Hence the wide spread use of milk and cream in European recipes. Chinese and Japanese food has no dairy product in it, and Asian cooking little. Yet lactose is now added to many foods and drink without being on the label. The book reveals this scandal. The only definitive way of telling if you are lactose intolerant is to come off lactose completely for at least one month. This means not only no milk, cream, or cheese, but also avoiding burgers, sausages, salamis, cake mixes, breads, slimming products, drugs and lagers.

Join Tony and Stephanie’s family who have been given their life back. Your heart rending story could, like theirs, have a wonderful ending. You can enjoy a gourmet meals every day completely lactose free.

About the authors

This book has been written by a husband and wife team. Together they have published several scientific papers on lactose intolerance in leading medical journals.

Professor Anthony K Campbell MA PhD

Tony is an internationally acclaimed medical biochemist and an expert in the science of lactose intolerance. He just loves cooking. He is well known for his work on animals that make light – bioluminescence (see cardiff.ac.uk/medicine/med_biochem/staff/campbell/index.htm). This has revolutionised biomedical research and clinical diagnosis, with over 100 million clinical tests per year. He obtained a first class degree and PhD in Cambridge, and is now Professor in Medical Biochemistry at Cardiff University. He has published over 200 scientific papers, 6 books, and has several patents being exploited world wide. He is passionate about communicating cutting edge science to young people and the public, founding the Darwin Centre in 1994 and the highly acclaimed Pembrokeshire Darwin Science Festival (www.darwincentre.com) in 2000. He is a keen musician, and now makes music in the kitchen! He has five children.

Dr Stephanie B Matthews MB BCh PhD FRCPath

Stephanie is a clinical expert in food intolerance, for which she set up an NHS clinic now with over 500 patients. She studied medicine, and gained her PhD, in Cardiff, and is a consultant in Medical Biochemistry. She is acclaimed in several fields of medicine, particularly cholesterol and heart disease, and food intolerance. The discovery of her own lactose intolerance has changed her life in more ways than one, as she now has three beautiful children. Like Tony she believes strongly in explaining difficult medical and scientific concepts to the general public, and patients. She set up a clinic for young people with inherited cholesterol problems, now being developed nationally and internationally with the charity Heart UK.
