Excellent source of information
This book has some wonderful information on Celiac disease as well as excellent recipes. One that I love is the all purpose flour (gluten free). I have used it to make pizza dough (wonderful) and a lemon squares desert(very tasty) and I'm going to try my favorite recipe for pancakes with it. I would recommend this book for anyone with Celiac desease looking for answers.

Excellent Resource
I have recently been diagnosed with a gluten intolerance. I realized that a major dietary change was going to be necessary, but I had no idea how to begin. After purchasing this book, I'm back in control of my life. The author has the expertise and experience; she knows her subject very well. I learned about wheat/gluten diseases, the differences between them and how to begin coping with my "new" life. If I had any other questions, websites were listed where I could find further help, support groups and sites where I could order gluten-free products and freshly-made meals (delivered)!

I highly recommend this book to anyone with questions concerning gluten or wheat-free living, whether it will benefit themselves or a loved one. You won't regret it (I promise)!

EXCELLENT BOOK!
I was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease and this book was DEFINITELY a must read. I learned so much about the disease and what food products I will need to eliminate to avoid gluten completely. Jules expert advice, tips, and recipes are a lifesaver to anyone eliminating gluten from their diets, whether for personal reasons or due to a positive diagnosis of Celiac Sprue Disease. The journey has definitely been easier with the help from Jules book. A doctor may be able to tell you what to eat, this book helps explain how to keep your normal life eating gluten free. A heartfelt thank you goes out to Jules E. Dowler Shepard for writing such an informative book.

Celiac Disease
WOW very informitive for all with celiac/gluten problem persons. Easy to understand and following each chapter went fast.

This book is wonderful! I have 2 boys ages 8 and 10 that were just diagnosed with celiac disease, I was so stressed out with what to cook and how to handle this. This book helped calm me down, giving ideas, recepies, and support!!!HIGHLY RECOMMEND:)

Healthier Without Wheat: A New Understanding of Wheat Allergies, Celiac Disease, and Non-Celiac Gluten Intolerance.

This is the leading resource for discovering your wheat allergy or gluten intolerance. For millions of people, bread, pasta, and many other foods are bad for their health. Thousands of people have already come to their own realization that they are healthier without wheat in their diet, but it can be difficult to figure out when most doctors aren t knowledgeable on the topic. This book provides validation for what these people have discovered, and explains how you too can determine whether or not wheat and gluten are making you sick. In Healthier Without Wheat you learn the difference between celiac disease, non-celiac gluten intolerance, and wheat allergies. You will discover how hundreds of health problems are connected to wheat and gluten reactions and why sorting this out on your own can be more difficult than you might think. You will also discover how you can be gluten intolerant even if you don t have celiac disease, and why non-celiac gluten intolerance can be just as severe as or more severe than celiac disease. You will also learn how to determine if your infant or child reacts to wheat or gluten. Healthier Without Wheat also covers nutritional deficiencies commonly seen in gluten intolerance, and equally important, what to do if you are avoiding gluten but not getting better. There are many books on living gluten free, but only one on how to determine whether or not you are gluten intolerant or have a reaction to wheat. You should read this book if you or someone you know suffers from any of the following: abdominal pain, chronic anemia (iron deficiency), arthritis, autoimmune diseases, constipation, depression, diarrhea, eczema, fatigue, fibromyalgia, frequent illness, headaches, heartburn, hypoglycemia, irritable bowel syndrome, irritability, migraines, or osteoporosis.

Repetitive
While there is much useful information in the book, most of the information is repeated throughout. Want to know the tests for gluten intolerance, celiac, or allergy? The author will tell you about them repeatedly. Want to know which grains have gluten and which don't? The author will give you the list several times. Want to know the signs or symptoms of gluten intolerance? The author will give them to you more than once. When the author is not repeating the same information, he is telling you some basics and stating over and over again that a later chapter will go more into depth on that subject. Not a bad book, but it would have been better had it been half as long, or contained more in-depth information.

Informative!
I found this book to be the best without being over the top; not too simplistic, not too technical. It was very informative...so much so that after reading it from the library, I had to own a copy for my personal library!

Great guidance, great history, should open a few eyes
Had the pleasure of attended a talk given by Dr. Stephen Wangen and given that I promised my blog readers ([...]) a book not on this topic, I thought I'd share it at Amazon as well.

The short summary is it should be an eye-opening book for anyone. Dr. Wangen has taken up this issue in a previous book entitled The Irritable Bowel Syndrome Solution as well in his clinical practice where he has become a `go-to' person for those with wheat allergies, gluten intolerance and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Given I've been on the dietary fringe for some time, it's easy for me to underestimate the extent to which this book pierces deeply entrenched notions about what's `good' and `healthy' for you. Think about it, this book essentially makes the assertion that this staple of life (bread of life) should be treated more like a toxin and should only be consumed as a last resort, given its metabolic effects on the body.

As is often the case with books written by clinicians in active practice, it has more then its fair share of testimonials/case studies. While I understand this approach appeals to lots of people and makes the whole thing less dry for most, I skip over most of them. But they're there for you if you want them.

Found his explanation of the origin of cereal grains and the differences and commonalities among them fascinating. He includes a `family tree' of grains that include all the ones we find in common use today: wheat, oats, corn, rice, spelt, etc.

Having known very little about IBS, celiac disease and the like, it was enlightening to have him clearly delineate the differences among these conditions and state categorically that these `conditions' only persist as long as you consume the offending item (wheat or gluten as the case may be).

The only major issue I had with the book is the repeated reference to an extremely wide range of symptoms that might lead you to consider whether you might have an allergy/intolerance. There were instances where, after I read the list, I wondered what adverse condition was left out. So that's where I'd include a gain of salt. He also spent a lot of time describing the diagnostic methods he uses to make a determination as to what might be at the root of issues you're seeing. Got a sense that these sections were more directed at his peers whose patients might pick up the book and ask their doctor's about it. Wouldn't want to leave out stuff that would clearly show you knew what you were doing since the book is likely to wind up in the hands of other physicians either directly or indirectly.

So, the bottom line is it is well worth the read if you or someone you care about has issues with wheat or gluten. It is also of interest to those who are not so wedded to our revered food staple (bread) that they might be considering giving it up to better their health.

The best book I've read about gluten intolerance
This book is an incredible resource for anyone suffering from an adverse reaction to gluten or wheat. Dr. Wangen dispels the theory that celiac disease is the most serious form of gluten intolerance and instead claims that ANY gluten sensitivity can endanger a person's health and must be treated with a strict gluten-free diet.

The doctor describes the differences between celiac disease, non-celiac gluten intolerance and non-gluten wheat allergy. The medical terminology is clearly explained without ever being dumbed down, and there are case studies that further the reader's understanding of the numerous expressions of gluten intolerances and wheat allergies in different people. Additionally, in the back of the book there is a question and answer section that is impressively comprehensive. After reading this book, absolutely all of my questions were answered.

For me, the most helpful part of the book was the flow charts of tests for celiac disease, non-celiac gluten intolerance, wheat allergy and gluten allergy. They broke down the myriad tests into a logical progression of diagnoses. Dr. Wangen also explains the fallibility of certain tests and offers advice for additional testing that can increase a person's chance of getting the most accurate diagnosis. This book is an invaluable resource. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Literally changed my life.
I read this book after I discovered Coeliac Disease was not the only form of wheat intolerance. It's a very easy read and much of the information really struck a chord with me. After reading, I felt certain I ought to try a wheat-free diet and after discussing it with my doctor, I did exactly that. It's been almost two-months since I went 'gluten-free' and I have never felt better. My allergies have almost disappeared, I have more energy, need less sleep, the condition of my hair and skin has improved and I'm feeling slimmer and trimmer every day. Massive results, all inspired by this book. I wish I'd read it 10 years ago.

I also loaned it to a friend who has been puzzled over her son's health issues and she agreed that it was truly amazing information.

The information is authoritative and thorough and makes a convincing case for the prevalence of wheat intolerance.
Obviously you have to weigh up the information in relation to you own circumstances, but if you suspect a wheat intolerance, or even if you have a niggling, unexplained health issue this book is certainly worth a read.

If you have to be gluten free you should have this book
Try going on a gluten free diet for six months and you will want this book. Because after six months, you will be willing to make some compromises, Bette's recipes are a whole lot better than anything else gluten free. My very worn copy has many book marks sticking out of its top marking favorite recipes, and food stains from being on the counter while making countless meals.

No gluten free flour is the same as wheat flour. In fact, any single gluten free flour is awful. But Bette has devised mixtures of gluten free flours that can be used in place of wheat with decent success. Featherlite, my favorite, has rice flour, tapioca flour, cornstarch and potato flour and it is the closest to wheat flour of anything I have found.

To the fellow reviewer who had trouble finding the chicken pot pie recipe, the crust recipe (labeled biscuit recipe) is on page 279 and the filling recipe is on page 72. Try it, the crust is OK. And yes, you are right, wonderful French bread with light insides is not possible. What is possible is batter breads, and no I don't like them as much as French bread made from wheat, but there is the compromise you make after being on this diet for at least six months.

Indispenable for Gluten Free Beginners!!!
We have to be gluten free for a family member and this author has created books that provide easy to understand information. You get the why you are doing what you are doing! Plus recipes that help you learn to convert your old way of cooking to the gluten free. They are great!

So many "comfort" foods missing!!
I hate to give this book only 2 stars because there are some great recipes. I have to give the low rating becasue it's not really a "comfort" cook book. I was born and raised in the south and was disappointed that these classic "comfort" recipes were not in the book: fried chicken, fried okra, fried green tomaotes. There are no corn bread or grits recipes. I have to disagree with the person who said the chicken pot pie crust was not in the book. it is on page 279. This mix is for several recipes. I made it for the hamburger pie - which is great. My son loved it! I have not made a lot of recipes in this book ,but glad I have it and plan to try more. I think a better title would have been "quick and easy". Most of the recipes don't have a lot of ingredients, but you do have to make your own flour mixes. This is standard with any gluten free cook book.

great recipes for every day gluten free cooking
I got this book out of the library but now am going to have to buy it.
Love, love love the recipes. Useful for every day cooking. I guess I like "comfort" foods a lot :)

Everyone has already said how great this cookbook is and the author was one of the first to develop recipes for celiacs so they could eat regular food again without missing out on baked goods.
Wheat and gluten are so present in purchased foods and hard to replace. This book helps make life better.

G F Diet
This book is a very good resource for anyone who has to follow a gluten free diet. The author has included flour mixes that you can make for your own use. I would highly recommend the book.

Eating Gluten-Free with Emily: A Story for Children with Celiac Disease

For children, a diagnosis of celiac disease and an abrupt change to a gluten-free diet can bring about an overwhelming number of questions and concerns. What is gluten? Why can't I eat cake, cookies, and chicken nuggets like everyone else? What do I tell my friends? Answers to these and many other questions are provided in this book. Written by the mother of a child with celiac disease, who also has the disease herself, this book offers a reassuring look at celiac disease in language that a child can easily understand. This fictional story is based on the real-life experiences many newly diagnosed children face. Five-year-old Emily and her parents wonder why she's not feeling well. Her belly is swollen, and she feels moody and sick. A trip to the doctor raises some concerns and further tests show that Emily has celiac disease. Emily talks about what food she can and cannot eat, how her Mom buys special gluten-free food, and the need to stay on a gluten-free diet at restaurants, birthday parties, friends' houses, school, and camp. With its light-hearted, colorful illustrations, the book helps children to see that having celiac disease is not so scary after all. Emily acknowledges that having celiac disease is sometimes tough, but talking about her feelings with her mom always makes her feel better. She knows that celiac disease is only part of who she is -- she also likes to jump rope, paint, tell jokes, and pick flowers! This book's positive message will be a huge boost to children with celiac disease, especially those who have been recently diagnosed. Ages 3-7

Children really enjoyed the book
Facing the realization that my children have food allergies and must learn to eat differently than they are accustomed is a daunting task. This book helped to continue the conversations I've been having with them to understand that they aren't alone with food allergies and that food isn't what makes life fulfilling. This book offered that insight in a way the kids really enjoyed and they ask me to read it to them again and again. Thanks!

Eating Gluten Free with Emily
This book is excellent for anyone with a child newly diagnosed with Celiac Disease or for explaining it to your child's friends or classmates. I would like to see it reprinted so that it is easier to find in Canada, and perhaps relaunch with an Ethan instead of Emily. However my kids got a lot out of it and have a better understanding of the disease and the new way of life in our home. Thumbs up!

Terrific book!
When my son was diagnosed with Celiac at the age of 4 years, I sought out all the information I could. I especially wanted to find something for my son so he could understand about Celiac and that he wasn't alone. This has been a terrific book in both regards. It is one of his favourite books and he has taken it to school to share with his classmates each year. It is very well received and goes a long way to educate on a child's level and to make others aware of the difficulties a child with Celiac faces in everyday life. Many of the classmates will go home and tell their parents about gluten which in turn has meant several families bringing in gluten-free cupcakes and snacks to the classroom for special events. I've fielded several phone calls and emails over the years from parents wanting to know more about Celiac and how they can include my son. Definitely a great purchase!

great connection
as a mother with a recently diagnosed GF child, i was surprised by how many times i am asked to re-read this story. great story, great character, and great identity with real GF children.

Great book for celiac children
We have read this for years to our daughter. Great book for any celiac child!

The GF Kid: A Celiac Disease Survival Guide

Book Description "I'm no different than any other kid. I m just a GF kid";, says Paris, matter-of-factly. She is the spunky eleven-year-old narrator of this story for kids with celiac disease who must eat gluten-free (GF) foods. With equal parts humor and directness, Paris* gets right down to business explaining what it is like to have celiac disease. (*Paris's mom wrote the story, full of her daughter's wisecracking comments, and her dad drew the funny, cartoony illustrations.) Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects 1 in 133 kids. If you have celiac disease, you cannot tolerate gluten, a substance found in many foods, including--gulp!--cake, cookies, pasta, or pizza. Don't sweat it. Paris has creative GF solutions for you. She offers tips on what to bring to school, parties, and sleep-overs; where to shop for GF foods at stores and online; and how to choose from among plenty of foods that don't contain gluten, like bananas, yogurt, popcorn, chocolate pudding cups, hamburgers, soda, and more! Paris explains that you don t have to worry about your friends either. They'll get on board once they understand that eating even a tiny bit of gluten can make you sick, tired, or slow your growth. In THE GF KID, you'll find everything you need to know to get on with your gluten-free life, including: What celiac disease is and how you can manage it How to choose safe, gluten-free foods and what to avoid Lists of gluten-free foods (and candy!) Tips for eating away from home (restaurants, school, friends homes, the movies) Keeping your gluten-free stuff separate from gluteny stuff Favorite GF recipes If you're the parent of a preteen or young teen with celiac disease -whether your child is newly diagnosed or has been living with celiac disease for a while -you' ll want to have this friendly and empowering book for your child. It is also a great read for friends, neighbors, classmates, and teachers who want to be supportive and help your son or daughter be a GF kid.

Best book to buy when you just find out your child can't eat gluten!
I bought this book for my son over 3 years ago...and I still find him reading it from time to time!

I bought it when we first found out he had Celics Disease and I was on the computer 24/7 finding out all we needed to know. I was determined to make it a fun lifestyle for him. This book made him feel like he was in good company and we love the way the words and illustrations were fun and sketchy. He loves all the ideas of snacks and foods...and what to do when he goes to a sleep-over. My Son is 10 now and is his own advocate, feels great and gained 17lbs. in 2 years and seems to be getting taller every day! (he is still pretty skinny..but we are thrilled overall!) He has been to lots of sleep-overs and birthday parties...and seems totally fantastic with his diet! We give him pancakes, treats, cookies and such so he never feels like his diet is horrible..(plus we want him to gain weight.) This book will give you lots of ideas and websites to visit... but most of all it will help your child feel happy again!

I love this author...and hope she knows how she has helped so many kids. We tell all our newly diagnosed friends to buy this book!

Entertaining and informative
My 6 year old son and I read this together. He is newly diagnosed celiac, I have been diagnosed for about 10 years. It was cute, informative and funny. Although it was really intended for a bit older readership (maybe tweens) he got a lot of the humor, especially with us reading together. And as an "experienced" Celiac, it wouldn't be very informative for me alone, it was for my son and written with humor that made us both laugh (cute illustrations). And I did get some good ideas for child menu alternatives.

Terrific Book!
I was surprised reading over the reviews to find one that said this was not a worthwhile book. I think it is great. I bought it for my daughter a few years ago when it first came out. I used it when I gave a gf homeschool cooking class for her friends to introduce them to what gf foods were. I also found it helpful to have some adults read so they, too, get the full picture of just what we can and can not eat. My niece was just recently diagnosed and I here to order another copy for her and also to help explain what eating gf is like to her younger brother.

ABSOLUTELY STUPENDOUS!
My 13 year old son was just diagnosed a few weeks ago, and we have bought multiple books trying to understand it better. I wish I would have bought this book First. It does the best job explaining CD and answered all my sons questions. We find ourselves referring to it again and again.
Jewel

The GF Kid answers loads of questions in a fun way
Bought this book after reading many others and it still answered some unanswered questions I had. It's a fun, quick read and I loan it to everyone in our lives so that they can easily understand what my family of newly diagnosed Celiacs is going through (my husband and 3 of our 4 kids!).
It helped the kids themselves a lot too.
Melissa London has done a wonderful service to the Celiac community with this book.

Celiac Disease (Revised and Updated Edition): A Hidden Epidemic

Unmasking One of the Most Underdiagnosed Autoimmune Diseases Do you suffer from gastrointestinal complaints, fatigue, headaches, joint pain, anemia, and/or itchy skin conditions? Have you consulted numerous doctors, and been prescribed drugs and diets that have only temporarily alleviated some symptoms? If so, you may have celiac disease, a hereditary autoimmune condition that affects nearly one in every hundred people—97 percent of whom remain undiagnosed and untreated. If you are one of these people, the real answer to your medical problems may lie in this book. Dr. Peter Green, director of the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University and internationally renowned expert on the disease, together with Rory Jones, an accomplished science writer who was diagnosed with the disease in 1998 and has been researching it ever since, have written the first and only authoritative guide on how celiac disease is properly diagnosed, treated, and managed. The disease is triggered by gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. Gluten damages the lining of the small intestine so that it cannot properly absorb food. Without essential nutrients, the entire body begins to suffer. Complications from celiac disease can include infertility, depression, liver disease, other autoimmune diseases (such as type 1 diabetes and thyroid disease), and even cancer. This is a disease that you do not outgrow. At present, the only way to treat it is to follow a lifelong gluten-free diet. This revised and updated edition contains the most current information on celiac disease, gluten intolerance, and gluten sensitivity. It examines the disease's many manifestations and includes an entire section devoted to coping with the psychological aspects of living with a chronic illness and the gluten-free diet. There is new information about testing for the disease; a closer look at the causes, as well as related conditions; the latest scientific research toward a cure; an updated guide to ingredients and safe grains; and an expanded list of gluten-free manufacturers and national and international support groups. An "inside-out" examination and explanation of celiac disease, this is a must-read for both patients and the medical community.

Celiac bible
This book is a must for those with Celiac Disease. This book will answer all of your questions about glutten and the disease. I strongly recommend that you add this volume to your library.

Gluten Free Awareness
Kudos to Dr. Peter Green and Rory Jones for their highly readable and comprehensive book. With one out of every 100 people being diagnosed with celiac disease and 30 out of every hundred having the HLA-DQ2 and -DQ8 lymphocytes that must be present to be diagnosed a celiac, anyone gluten sensitive should read this book.
In this allergy/reaction to gluten, they have found a cause for most of the autoimmune diseases (i.e. diabetes), plus peripheral neuropathy, depression, dementia, infertility, and cancer. They report the symptoms, which range from migraines, skin conditions, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, broken bones, to no symptoms whatsoever. Laboratory tests are listed to diagnose the condition with a discussion of their accuracy including the false positives and negatives. Some diet information is given and suggestions on how to adapt to a life style that involves no gluten. And the emphasis is on NO as the effect on the patient's health can ultimately lead to cancer.
Where I disagree with them is in their promotion of a low fat diet. Low trans fat, yes, but not low fat. A healthy diet has moderate amounts of good fats including saturated fats. See: Barry Groves "Trick and Treat" and Anthony Colpo's "The Great Cholesterol CON". Without an adequate amount of fat you are hungry all the time, eat more carbs, and gain weight. They state that "nutritional deficiencies are common in those with celiac disease on a gluten-free diet." Many cultures in this world were never exposed to gluten until modern times, yet they managed to survive millions of years on a gluten free diet. It is this heredity that makes so many people sensitive to the gluten found in some grains. The authors emphasize testing (constantly) and follow-ups to make sure you are adhering to the diet, yet the tests are not very accurate and some invasive. Most doctors do not even have celiac on their radar so you will probably have to be self diagnosed. If it works to solve your health problems you will follow the diet. Reading about the consequences if you fail to follow the diet should give you added incentive.

Celiac Disease by Dr. Green
This book is well written and easy to understand. I would recommend it to anyone with Celiac or to a parent of a child with this disease.

Now I Know
Thank you, Dr. Green and Rory Jones. I have had burning scalp issues and had figured it might be gluten intolerance, but it still didn't seem to clear-up; then, I read that celiacs often have dairy and egg allergies as well. Anyway, I already had given up dairy, so I gave up eggs and now, my scalp feels normal. I also have bone loss, so this book is a great help. All the doctors at Group Health need to read this book!!!!!!! Thank you.

A comprehensive resource written by an expert
This book should be required reading for anyone who has been diagnosed with celiac disease or suspects they may have celiac disease.

Dr. Green covers every conceivable aspect of the subject, from symptoms to related medical conditions to treatment. The section about diagnosis is extremely useful to people who may have had negative test results but still feel they could have celiac disease. Testing in an imperfect science, unfortunately, and Dr. Green explains why tests can sometimes not tell the whole story about a patient's condition. He claims that the gold standard for celiac testing is the biopsy, hands down. This was a useful perspective because many doctors have differing opinions on the subject and claim that other tests (like blood tests) are sufficient for diagnosis.

The book not only describes what celiac is and how it expresses itself in different people, it also offers gluten-free lifestyle advice. Among the helpful topics are: traveling and eating in restaurants safely, how to approach the host/ess at a dinner party, dealing with the holidays, and helping children adjust to a gluten-free diet.

This book, along with "Healthier without Wheat" by Dr. Stephen Wangen, are two essential reads for people who have gluten-related health problems.

The G-Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide

For years, Elisabeth Hasselbeck couldn't figure out what was making her sick. She asked doctors and consulted nutritionists, but no one seemed to have any answers. It wasn't until spending time in the Australian Outback, living off the land on the grueling Survivor TV show, that, ironically, her symptoms vanished. Returning home, she pinpointed the food that made her sick -- gluten, the binding element in wheat. By simply eliminating it from her diet, she was able to enjoy a completely normal, healthy life. But that wasn't all. Hasselbeck discovered the myriad benefits that anyone can enjoy from a gluten-free diet: from weight loss and increased energy to even the alleviation of the conditions of autism. In this all-inclusive book, Hasselbeck shares her hard-earned wisdom on living life without gluten and loving it. She gives you everything you need to know to start living a gluten-free life, from defining gluten - where to find it, how to read food labels - to targeting gluten-free products, creating G-Free shopping lists, sharing recipes, and managing G-Free living with family and friends.

Very Useful Information for a Gluten-Free Newbie
Prior to my 4-year-old's arrival, I had zero stomach issues. I am not proud of my old eating habits. Really, I should have known better than to eat six brownie bites at a time. Or almost half an Entemann's chocolate cake in one night. Yes, I actually did eat half a cake. I am disgusted when I look back on the gross things I used to eat in mass quantities. But back then my eating habits were never a problem because I had a stomach of steel and a fabulous metabolism.

Oh, the good old days, how I miss them.

My stomach started bothering me 2 months after my daughter was born and it hasn't stopped since. I'll spare you the details but over the last (almost) five years I have gone from eating everything to just a few things that I am sure don't bother my stomach. I have visited dozens of doctors and I've spent a small fortune on co-pays and blood tests, and even an endoscopy. But when test after test came back inconclusive, I finally took measures into my own hands by doing the Fat Flush Plan.

After two weeks of eating nothing but protein, flax, fruit, and vegetables, I felt like a million bucks. Then came the hard part...re-introducing foods to identify my allergies. The day I ate my first piece of bread I not only had a stomach ache but I also felt itchy and achy and had trouble focusing. So I stopped eating bread and after a few days felt great again. Then I ate another piece of bread, felt sick again, stopped eating bread again, and felt great. It was confirmed - I could not tolerate gluten.

I was elated to find the culprit but nervous too. How was I going to live without bread? Was I going to be able to eat out anymore? Was every single meal going to be an exercise in anxiety and planning? Yes, yes, and unfortunately, yes.

I haven't ingested gluten since November of 2009 and while 90% of my symptoms have cleared up, I still experience stomach aches from time-to-time. The more I read about gluten the more I realize it is hidden in so many unexpected places! So while I've been avoiding the obvious things, I realized I needed a comprehensive list of what to avoid and that is exactly what The G Free Diet is.

I've seen this book in the bookstore but frankly I never considered purchasing it because, well, Elizabeth Hasselbeck irritates me. Sorry, but it's the truth. I don't watch The View, but the things I hear and read about her? They don't exactly portray her in the best light. She just seems immature and too opinionated and if I'm being honest (and petty) her voice annoys me too. I don't know why. But I put my feelings aside to read this book and I have to admit that I loved it and finished it in two days.

The G Free Diet is a fast, easy read. It starts off with the author explaining how she diagnosed herself with the help of her stint on Survivor. She goes on to give a thorough description of celiac disease, advises how to avoid gluten at home and in restaurants, and even discusses going gluten-free for weight management and to help the symptoms of autism.

Did you know that some salad dressings and soy sauces have gluten in them? Blue cheese and brown rice syrup? Rice Crispies and french fries? Toothpaste and sunscreen? Makeup and lotion? Me neither. This book is an enlightening source of detailed information on hidden sources of gluten. I especially loved the section on eating out as that is always such a challenge for me. The appendix with a list of gluten-free brands is also very helpful.

Now the negatives of this book: I'm not crazy about the fact that Elizabeth claims you can "sweat out" accidentally ingested gluten. Sorry but to quote Principal Belding, "That is wrong and ridiculous." I was also kind of surprised to see her marketing a gluten-free lifestyle as a weight management technique. But those are small details in an otherwise excellent book and overall I would recommend this book to anyone struggling with celiac or those who think they might have a gluten-intolerance.

Loved it!
I gave this book to my daughter for Christmas. She just became gluten free, and needed a book to instruct her on all the specifics. She loved this book! She liked the lists and information she got. I would definately recommend this book.

Kids with Celiac Disease : A Family Guide to Raising Happy, Healthy, Gluten-Free Children

This is the first practical guide for the families of children and teenagers with celiac disease, a chronic, life-long digestive disorder. One out of 250 Americans is born with this genetic autoimmune condition, which is characterized by intolerance of gluten (wheat, rye, barley, malt, and other food additives) and often goes undiagnosed. In a supportive conversational style, Danna Korn shows that it's possible for kids with celiac disease and their families to lead happy and healthy lives. Parents find advice on how to deal with the diagnosis, cope with emotional turmoil, and help their child develop a positive and constructive attitude. Especially important is the guidance on menu planning, grocery shopping, strategies for proper food preparation, and deciding whether or not the entire family should be gluten-fee. There's even a section on junk food! What about the child who has difficulty sticking with the prescribed diet? Parents find tips on conditioning behavior and how and when to give kids some control over what they eat. Also covered is the challenge of controlling meals outside of the home-at birthday parties, restaurants, camp, and on vacation. Dozens of recipes help parents be creative and offer well-rounded appealing meals and snacks. There's also information about how special education laws can help with services at school. As the only comprehensive book of its kind, Kids with Celiac Disease will be the bible for the thousands of families coping with this condition. Physicians and nutritionists too, will want to refer new families to this complete resource.

Clear and Practical
I have read other books on Celiac disease, but this book targets how parents can help children with this diagnosis. Celiac disease runs in our family. I have it, my teenager has been recently diagnosed and I have a grandaughter with it. This book clearly spells out ways to communicate about the disease with pre-schoolers up through teenagers and some of the emotional issues that may surface.

The author has fun and useful ideas to make the diet pleasurable for children. She has a great section on school lunch ideas and ways to help friends, family and school be informed.

Kids with Celiac is full of information, but written in an easy to read style. This book is packed with hope and encouragement. It even has a section on how to feed a child immediately after diagnosis. She takes away the panic and gives instead a plan of action. This book is a winner!

Great Resource
When we found out our 2 year old had celiac disease, his doctor recommended this book. It has been a great resource for us. It is easy to read and easy to understand. It is very well organized, making it easy to find the information you need at that particular moment.

Great Book!
I love this book! My 10 month old son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease and all I could find was books for adults. This book is easy to read and it helped me feel better about dealing with disease. I highly reccomend this book the anyone who has a child diagnosed with celiac disease!

Kids with Celiac Disease
The title says it all. If you have a child with Celiac this will be a great addition to your household.

The most helpful book we own
After our one year old was diagnosed with Celiac Disease this was the first book we were told to buy. It is the most helpful book we own and it will continue to be the most helpful book we own as our little one grows up.
This book is great at helping with the psychological impact of this disease for our daughters young age, and it continues through her teen years.
We are forever grateful for this book. The author captures the feeling of every parent when they are first informed that their child has Celiac.

Falchuk, MD, Associate Clinical Professor, Harvard Medical School. Senior Gastroenterologist, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Read below for comments and stories of how people's lives are being affected by this book. Initially written to improve diagnosis of celiac disease, it is doing that and so very much more...it is healing in a very real way. __________Having been dx with CD for one year, I reached saturation - almost overload point a few months ago. Then I read the summary of "Recognizing Celiac Disease" and felt it might encompass everything I had referenced across numerous articles and books - and more. I love being able to look in the index and go to detailed information in my struggle to ensure my nutritional requirements and deficiencies are being met and addressed. If I won the lottery, my first step would be to send a copy of this book to every family practice and GI physician in Texas! Short of that, I plan to buy a copy at the GIG National Conference in TX in June for my local FP clinic! -Reta McCallum, TX __________ Dear Cleo, I have been "sick" most of my life (I turn 40 in July) with random things, too many to list here. I have been really sick the last 10 years, but started feeling as though I was "dying by the inch" in 2004. I finally broke down and went to my primary when PVC's where occurring every 5-10 seconds that felt as though my heart was going to jump right out of my throat. I had many other random MS type symptoms, but the severity of the PVC's were what scared me the most, that is until 2006. I began to have many gastro symptoms that kept me in the bathroom several times a day with alternating elimination problems, I couldn't keep food down, and pain in the left side of my swollen, hard, tender abdomen every time I ate. I had an EGD and colonoscopy on 2/15/07. The three days before the test were the best I had felt in 4 years. Since I worked in Oncology and was used to seeing patients doing prep for them, I put myself on clear liquids 2 days before the Go-Lytely (sp?). So, I was gf without knowing it for 3 days prior to testing. When I woke up the morning of the test I realized whatever was bothering me had lifted..I hadn't thrown up, the mental fog had lifted, and my stomach pain was gone! My hubby made me go ahead and go to the test anyway, darn him! The doc said I didn't have celiac (I had no idea what he was talking about at the time), but that I had IBS, a hiatal hernia, GERD, and diverticulosis. He gave me a script for Zelnorm and said that should level out my alternating d/c problems in 3 months or so. As soon as I added food back in 2 days after the test the symptoms started all over again: pain, vomiting, reflux, alternating d/c, fog, dizziness, etc..... The Zelnorm didn't do anything but send me the other direction where I basically had no control over my bowels. Not a good thing when you're working 12's at a hospital in direct patient care, especially in Oncology! :) A month later a co-worker told me it had been recalled! I called the doc and they said they stand by their diagnosis and to just follow the IBS diet. I tried eliminating all the things it recommended, to no avail. At this point, I got down on my knees and begged God for an answer. I asked Him to send me an answer however He wanted and I would be listening. I happened to go shopping, which I hardly ever do because I hate it, and while waiting in a long line I saw a magazine cover that listed my symptoms almost to a "T"! I took it home and it talked about gluten sensitivity and celiac disease! So, this was what he was talking about! My husband read it and said it sounded just like me! I tried the diet and 3 days later I stopped throwing up and my stomach pain subsided! I called my doc and they said they still stood by the original diagnosis and I didn't need to be on a gf diet! I told them I was just letting them know out of courtesy so they could put it in my file, my guess is they didn't bother with it. I've never spoken to the doc personally since the day of my testing, and never was told to have a follow up visit either. Some doc, huh? Anyway, after going gf and using the links in the article I was led to a local celiac support group. The only meeting I have ever been able to attend they mentioned your book! I promptly signed on and got a copy for myself! It's the best money I've ever spent! I have several other celiac books and it is by far my favorite! The brief explanation of celiac and the GI tract in the beginning are very thorough but easy to understand. I absolutely LOVE the charts and tables though, and the fact that you have recommended foods on the side to help with the deficits! The tables have given me answers to the random symptoms I've been plagued with over the years, most of which have subsided and eventually disappeared over the last year of my gf journey! It wasn't all in my imagination, and I'm not a hypochondriac! I think your book should be required reading for every student entering healthcare, in every field. I tell every nurse I know about your book, as I've noticed they are much more open to learning than most docs I know! As a result of your book, six of my immediate and extended family members have gone gluten free and are feeling better than they have in years! We are so grateful for your work! We feel as though your book has literally saved our lives! Again, thank you SO much! I am wondering, since I have my own business, could I buy your book wholesale for resale? Please send me any details you have on how to become a distributor, I am definitely interested! Tammy W. Via Internet __________ Cleo: Your book is fantastic. I was diagnosed with Celiac disease 2 years ago. I purchased books and did quite a bit of on line research about Celiac disease after my diagnosis. I was somewhat knowledgeable about Celiac Disease when I purchased your book. I found your book to contain a wealth of informaton about Celiac that is not available in any other book. It may sound strange, but your book helped me to understand my life a bit better. I now understand what was going on inside my body when I exhibited various symptoms over the years, prior to diagnosis. Knowing what was going on and realizing that I was not weak or lazy or just plain nuts has made me feel better about who I am. Thanks for that. Thanks so much for your wonderful book. Deb C. Via Internet __________ I am an RN that is married to a man with Celiac Disease. We lead the Gluten Intolerance Group of Grays Harbor. The book has been used to clear up the "is this related to celiac or is there something more" questions. A friend from work told me that her son in his 30's had "Parkinsons", using information that I had read, and the book "Recognizing Celiac Disease", they chose to adopt a GF lifestyle. Within two weeks he went from needing assistance to eat, to pouring from a tea pot without spilling. The mom as a show of support went GF and noted that the horrible itchy rash that she had suffered from disappeared-only to appear again with any ingestion of gluten. The young man's employer-an audiologist who specializes in auto-immune ear disease, borrowed the book for a full month so he could go through it page by page. Kris M. RN BSN CEN Clinical Documentation Specialist Quinalt, WA __________ I loved your book! I thought it was very comprehensive and detailed. The resources all in one place are amazing! Thank you! Michelle M. Chicago, IL __________ I have used it to emphasize the many nutritional deficiencies that may occur with Celiac Disease, and the GI docs I work with are now routinely testing for Vitamin and mineral deficiencies. We found our first zinc deficient pt recently! The explanation of the disease in the first section of the text has also been useful in helping members of our support group understand the disease. Sincerely, Patricia C., PA-C Virginia Beach, VA __________ �Recognizing Celiac Disease� is a great resource guide that I use to help my customers identify their symptomology and what may be a related cause. It is easy to understand, informative, and very user friendly. I would recommend to anyone, including those who use it on a professional level. Paul Kelty Mr. Ritt Bakery Philadelphia, PA __________ Hello Cleo, What I loved most about your book is addressing the needs for micronutrients. Secondly, when I showed a dear friend with sarcoidosis the simple statement in your book that "sarcoidosis responds to a GF diet" she believed it and the research behind it and tried it ~ and subsequently feels much better. Be assured that you made a big difference in this woman's life! Thirdly, your material on hyperparathyroidism is likewise helpful and I have showed it to several of our group members with this additional diagnosis and they have since added Vit D to their regimen (under their dr's approval) with an increase in well-being. Warmly, Cheryl Hutchinson, RN Chair, Gettysburg Gluten-Free Group hutchjc@earthlink.net __________ Thank you. My husband and I both have CD and your book is by far the best one we have found in print on CD. We love the format with the concise, current overview in the beginning and the detailed charts that make up most of the book. We refer to it on a regular basis as we research questions for ourselves, friends, family and others. We shared your book with the head of the pathology dept. at our local hospital, our CD support group members at our last meeting (and encouraged them all to purchase their own copies) and even with our dentist. I wish there were a way to get your book to all of our local doctors since none of them are informed about CD and few people are diagnosed in our area. My doctor had never dx'd a case of CD before mine (I was on my deathbed 6 years ago), and our pediatrician has never dx'd a case! I have proposed that our support group purchase books for all of our local gastroenterologists, providing you are not planning to publish an updated version in the near future. If there is any way you recommend that our support group, or we personally, can promote your book please let us know. Thank you again! Suzanne Ludlam Fairfax, VT __________ Hi Cleo - I read through Recognizing Celiac to confirm what was happening with my daughter's symptoms. When she was having a variety of strange symptoms, joint pain, skin problems, diarrhea, weight loss and yellowing teeth no one was putting it together and guessing celiac. Now we are having relatives with some similar symptoms so I am showing them your book and encouraging them to be tested for Celiac. I passed the book on to our local pediatricians because I had been told by them "She does not look like a Celiac". She was diagnosed 2 years ago and is feeling great because she follows a gluten-free diet all the time. Thanks for educating folks and letting them read about all the possible complications/ symptoms of untreated Celiac. Mary M. Monterey, MA __________ I especially enjoy the table which lists the dietary sources of specific nutrients (both animal and plant specific). I use it to help patients see where deficiencies may exist if the diet is not well-rounded. Vegetarians find it extremely beneficial to their individual understanding... I keep several pages tagged always for reference. Linda H., RD, LN Bozeman, MT __________ There are finally a lot of good Celiac Disease books out there. Cleo Libonati's Recognizing Celiac Disease is the best, by far the most thorough and researched. Dale Adams Dixon, CA __________ The book helped me personally in evaluating whether I have celiac disease and broadening my understanding of the wide variations of possible symptoms. It turns out I don't have celiac, which was determined by genetic testing, but the book was a good first step in getting me moving forward towards that end result. I am also a dietitian, so it is helpful professionally. Pat S. Fort Washington, PA __________ I have greatly benefited from your book! It is such a comprehensive invaluable resource. I am myself a celiac diagnosed in 2003, and I am also a Physician Assistant practicing in Gastroenterology. Your book has really improved my awareness of specific nutritional deficiencies that potentially come with the diagnosis. I feel I am doing a much better job of assessing my patients. Since I also have Crohns patients who can have the same issues with malabsorption if they have small bowel disease, it has been helpful to understand them as well. I am very grateful to you for your efforts. I am positive that it was a very challenging task to assimilate all of that information! Best regards, Michelle E., PA-C GI Specialists 20375 W. 151st Street Suite 354 Olathe, KS 66061 __________ I am a physician and use the book whenever I suspect or diagnose celiac disease, to remind me of the basics but also of the many potential subtleties and traps in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. It is very clear, comprehensive and helpful; until now, I had never seen so much information on the disease in one book, and that makes my life easier. Thank you ! Pierre R., M.D. Montreal, Quebec Canada __________ I thought the book was welll written and very complete. As both a nurse and a person with gluten intolerance it gave me all the information I needed to discuss options with my doctors. Thank you, Bettsy B. Waverly, IA __________ Thank you so much for publishing this wonderful book. For me, because I have been involved with the disease for so long (37 years), it has been a godsend in relaying accurate and up to date information to the members of The Gluten Intolerance Group. As one of the founders of GIG I learned under the tutaledge of Dr. Elaine Hartsook and have had the opportunity to know and work with many of the leaders in Celiac reasearch and medicine. I do not have a medical background but have absorbed much over the years while attending conferences and symposiums all over the world. That said, I found your book so very informative and specific in the areas that we celiacs and medical professionals need to be. I have almost worn my copy out by lending it to physicians and dietitians and members of my Support Branch of GIG. I just hope these people, professionals in particular, are ordering this book for their reference libraries. I have spent hours and hours reading, and trying to remember, the Nutritional Deficiencies of Celiac and finding out, by the Signs and Symptoms Section, that I started manifesting symptoms when I was as young as two or three years old. Unfortunately, I was not diagnosed until I was 24 years old and at death's door. I only wish this book could be a part of every Gastroenterologist's, Dermatologist's and Dietitian's Library. Once again, thank you for taking the time and effort to publish such a well organized and statistical book. I have and will continue to recommend it to all of my associates. Susan E. Branch Manager Kitsap/Olympic Peninsula Gluten Intolerance Group Sequim, WA __________ Hello Cleo, First Thank you for organizing all the info that you have in this book, that has been the most valuable area for me as a Nutritionist. I was finally able to show my patients how their Gluten Sensitvity is causing some if not all of their other issues. We have a staff copy here in our clinic, and I have my own copy for my client use. Thanks Again for this great and very informative book. Cheryl B., CCN, CCH Boulder, CO __________ I use your book as a reference when trying to figure out nutritional deficiencies caused by longstanding malabsorbtion. I have learned a lot from it and solved several problems. I look up information and then try supplements to see it they resolve the symptoms. It�s a useful book and it has helped me become healthier. My medical doctors are no help on nutrition; they don�t realize the implications of celiac disease on nutritional status. Pat H. Lafayette, CO __________ We are using the book for education purposes for our Dietetic and Culinary and Food Service students to make them aware from the industry side how they need to be aware and to teach them how important it is to incorporate gluten free items on their menus. Jo T. South East Community College Lincoln, NE __________ Hello Cleo - I am hoping to meet you some day!! I just did a book review of your book for our chapter last Sunday. I tell everyone at our chapter - buy this book for your doctor for Christmas!! I just picked a few signs, symptoms etc. to talk about it. One was migraine. One new member said "I had a migraine for 2 months and no one said anything about celiac disease". (She was later diagnosed at gallbladder surgery....) I have found the book an excellent resource for use in answering new members questions or questions from people who think they may have celiac disease. Personally, I was most fascinated by the information on the malabsorption of Omega 3 fatty acids. I had not seen this information before. For me personally, the most relevant information was about the impact that vitamin D malabsorption has. It took my doctor awhile to figure out that I was very low in vitamin D. Had I had this book sooner, I might have figured that out earlier and lessened the impact on my bone density. Judy B. __________ To Cleo, I was so grateful to have met you and am enjoying all the information in your book. The quick reference format is helpful for us in the office to help justify testing for those patients that we suspect of having Celiac. On the test requisition form for Prometheus or Kimball we have to come up with appropriate diagnosis codes. We are working hard to educate our local physicians. Gretchen M. OTR/L Boca Raton, FL __________ Hi Cleo, I particularly liked your book because it was so concise and well researched. I have a background in technical writing, so I know how long and hard you have worked on your tome. I have referred to it when others in our group have a question. I know I have had to check word meanings occasionally - for me, that's the mark of a great book - I can understand and visualize the sequences. Your charts were extremely clear and specific. I do think the part that tives me the most pleasure is carrying it into the doctor's office and plopping it on his desk. I haven't had one who was even curious about it - including my gastro. I did show parts of it to the endocrinologist and he appeared to look at the graphics - but only briefly. I do find that I am able to converse at a higher level and describe my problems in detail with research to back up any looks of disbelief. I personally enjoy the challenge of a well written manuscript in any form, but you have a real winner in this book. I have read most of the other authoritative CD books, but the authors didn't use the structured approach found in your book. I admit I'm very interested in trying to put together the Celiac puzzle so our offspring can enjoy a long, happy & healthy life. I was diagnosed 30 years ago when my fourth (and final) daughter, Gretchen, was born. My whole world collapsed until a doctor at Henry Ford Hospital recognized the "non-tropical sprue" and sent me to a gastro from Hong Kong. This man saved my life. I had extremely low Vitamin D - I was slowly losing the perabulatory movements. He recognized rickets and started injections. Sure, I have bad winters now, but at least I know it will end. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. I finished your book in 1 night!!!!! I had written to some bloggers and websites encouraging people to buy your book. I'll get busy and steal some time to do some more. Thank you for caring, Rose Mary Benton, KY __________ Cleo: The book provided more scientific insight into the unknown territories of folks diagnosed with Celiac. Clift B. Austin, TX __________ I have used the book to check symptoms to see if they are related to my CD or just "old age". It has also been most helpful when others call asking about similar problems. In short. . I find the arrangement by symptom and systems most helpful! Thank you for an unusually helpful publication. Mimi F. Kearney, NE __________ Thank you for your email, Cleo! I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in October 2004. Since the time of diagnosis I have been reading everything I can find regarding Celiac Disease and Autoimmune Diseases. Your book has been the most informative and complete book that I have found. I appreciate the format and the extensive information included in it. I have an extensive library and have loaned your book to others in similar heatlh situations. Your book has been utilized by many, and for all that have read it comes a feeling of hope. Thank you for this book! With warm regards, Paige H., RN (and Celiac) Ada, MI __________ Doctors need �Recognizing Celiac Disease� the most. It is great for patients, too. The book will help doctors to: 1. Recognize signs of Celiac disease leading to potential diagnosis 2. Be on the lookout for other conditions (deficiencies, etc ) especially if the history suggests the person has had the Celiac disease for an extended period of time prior to diagnosis. My doctor thought it silly that the ringing in my ear could be related to my Celiac disease. After some research, I found that ear ringing is related to B12 deficiency which can be related to Celiac disease. I believe it was your book that prompted me to have the doctor test for levels of other nutrients in my blood at the same time he tests for iron. This is a book for all family doctor�s, GPs and internists. This book is also good for Celiacs. Kevin G. South Bend, IN __________ I am slowly learnng more about how it has affected me. Once I converted over , any wheat has more impact. John R. Fullerton, CA __________ I use the book as a reference. I see many people in my nutrition counseling practice that often have some very unusual conditions. I look up the conditions to see if there is a relation to celiac disease and most of the time there is. I will often show the patient the pertinent information to encourage them to get tested. Connie R. Windham, NH __________ I highly recommend this book to not only someone diagnosed with Celiac's disease but I also think every physician, hospital and medical provider should have and read this book. This should be required reading for all medical students! I only wish this book had been available 10 years ago or before... This is by far the most comprehensive and helpful book on the topic. 5 STARS!!! Suzanne R. Sterling, VA __________ I have found the book to be a great resource in opening discussions with physicians about Celiac Disease. Most helpful is to discuss the non-GI manifestations of CD which are missed by many physicians. Most of my physician base deals with the "traditional" symptoms of CD which include diarrhea, iron deficiencies and absorption issues but this book has been helpful in finding and identifying those "silent" symptoms. Target OB/GYNs, pediatricians, etc. with this wonderful book. Dennis Garone TSS Prometheus Laboratories 203-417-2558 dgarone@prometheuslabs.com __________ I've just started reading this book and looking at the tables. I can tell already that it is my number one resource for Celiac Sprue, one I've been waiting for. The content is in depth and concise.

Disappointed......most of this info. is on the internet
I guess I know more than I thought I did about Celiac Disease. I purchased this book to increase my knowledge, but I really already knew much what was in the book, or knew where to find the info. on the internet. I actually would have returned the book, however my husband set a glass on it and it left a mark! (anyone interested in a slightly used book? lol!)
Much of what is in the book is easily found on Celiac Disease and other health websites. The first 50 pages gives good info. about diagnosis of Celiac Disease and details about following a Gluten Free diet. For someone who is not familiar with these topics, and who would like to have all this info. at their fingertips, this may be a good resource. However, all of whats written in the first section of the book is easily found on the internet.
The second section, (the last 200+ pages) is nothing but charts listing everything which could be a symptom of Celiac Disease. Again if you Google your symptoms and add Celiac Disease to the search, with a little searching, you can find much of this info. too on the internet. I think this book would be best for a library to carry for people to use as a one time resource book. Also it would be helpful for doctors to have all this info. available to them in one handy package, so they could reference it when a patient presents a number of puzzling, seemingly unrelated symptoms.
That is probably the best use for this book; get it in the hands of doctors, and educate them on Celiac Disease! Maybe I'll pass my copy on to my doctor!

"Recognizing Celiac Disease..."
Great referrence book for those with celiac disease and those in the business of gluten free foods and/or consulting.

Helpful information for Celiacs
I realize that this was written with medical professionals in mind, and it reads with a lot of medical-ees. But, if you've suffered from Celiac disease for any amount of time, you've probably already become a mini-digestive specialist anyway (I know I did!!), so it's not too scary. The charts, as another reviewer said, are incredibly helpful. I am newly diagnosed and suffering from multiple nutrient deficiencies, this really helped me to figure out which supplements I needed most (sometimes in life we have to make difficult choices).
THIS IS NOT AN EXCERSIZE IN SELF-DIAGNOSIS, as suggested by another reader. Gluten is a perfectly valid and healthy product for people who do not suffer from an intolerance or Celiac disease, so for God's sake, let your Doctor diagnose you (but give him this book as a gift!!). Wheat, rye and barley have made up the diet of many a successful civilization, so no self-diagnosis with this book, ok? Gluten is not evil, just bad for those of us who tend to make antibodies to it. ;)

Physicians and laymen will find this helpful
This comprehensive guide to celiac disease is a thorough, well-researched and fully indexed sourcebook. As someone recently diagnosed as gluten intolerant, I've been reading everything I can find on the subject and have found Recognizing Celiac Disease to be an excellent resource. Libonati organizes her research into tables and charts that make learning about this disease clear and understandable.

Fully backed up by studies, this book should appeal to physicians as well as the layman looking for answers.

If you even THINK you have a problem with gluten, you gotta read this.
Wow, now I have the answers to the many different symptoms that I have suffered. While I test negative for Celiac, both my husband and I have had less gas, bloating, diarrhea after switching to a gluten-free diet. This has got to be on your bookshelf if you or someone you love has a problem, sensitivity or allergy to gluten. Live a healthier life without gluten by being informed. Now if we could just get the food industry to reduce its use of gluten in so many products, everyone's health would improve.

Quick Reference on Celiac Disease
I have found this book on celiac disease an invaluable resource for living a gluten free life! The information is very straightforward and easy to understand. It makes celiac disease much easier to understand. What I love the most are the lists of what is and isn't exceptable to eat on a gluten free diet. I find myself referencing them often and always keep the book within reach if I have a question about what I can eat! Learning to live a gluten free life, is an ongoing learning process and this book has made the transition so much easier for me. I haven't tried the recipe's yet, but find the book an excellent resource.Tell Me What to Eat If I Have Celiac Disease: Nutrition You Can Live With

Excellent resource! Very detailed
I recently decided to try gluten free diet for my son who was diagnosed with autism. This book has been a true blessing. I carry it with me everywhere I go and have even gotten my son involved in reading it to make sure he knows what to look for to avoid gluten. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for information on how to be gluten free.

Tell Me What to Eat If I Have Celiac Disease: Nutrition You Can Live With
I bought this book as a gift for my Mom. She absolutely loves it and says she has learned so much. The book has loads of information and suggestions.

Gluten-free, but what about healthy?
I'm just skimming the book over, because much of the information I'm already familiar with. Kimberly Tessmer is an RD(Registered Dietician), and LD(Licensed Dietician). The book does contain helpful info regarding celiac disease. However, I am quite dissappointed with the nutritional content. There are quite a few recipes, but just about all of them contain cheese, and many also contain meat. According to [...] cheese/dairy is one of the worst things you can put into your body. [...] can also inform you of the hormones and antibiotics that they pump into the livestock today. Also, the author repeatedly encourages you to consult with a qualified professioal or physician. Just be forewarned about the medical community's lack of knowledge and/or willingness to diagnose celiac disease for what it is. Mis-diagnosis are quite common as Elizabeth Hasselbeck will attest to in her book. According to Dr. Green in her book The GFree Diet, "In the U.S. less than 5 percent of those who have celiac disease get diagnosed-compared with the roughly 30 to 40 percent diagnosis rate in other countries such as Australia, Italy, and Ireland. The reason- in this country the pharmaceutical idustry provides 80 percent of the money for medical research. Simply put: Since there are no drugs to treat celiac disease, pharmaceutical companies stand to gain no profits from encouraging its diagnosis."

Excellent Info on Celiac Diets
Having recently developed Celiac disease and being very ignorant of proper diets, I found this book to be just what I needed to get me on my way to healthy living with this problem.
Thanks!
