5.0 out of 5 stars Best Gluten Free product reference I've used!, May 14, 2008
This review is from: Cecelia's Marketplace Gluten-Free Grocery Shopping Guide (Paperback)
My 3 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac and this book is one of the best items we've purchased to use as a reference. I just ordered a second one to give to my daycare provider and may end up ordering more for relatives. I have used other guides, and this one is BY FAR the easiest to use.

5.0 out of 5 stars great reference!, July 15, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cecelia's Marketplace Gluten-Free Grocery Shopping Guide (Paperback)
I gave this book five stars bc I have not found another book like it. It is a great resource if you are in the supermarket and not sure if something is gluten free. This book lists only the products that are gluten free. It is small enough to fit in a large purse.

The only thing I am not happy with is the organization. It is easy to use. I just would have organized it differently. For example, instead of listing all of the Tylenol products together it is broken down by sleeping aids (for Tylenol PM) and cough/congestion section (for those Tylenol products), etc... I also feel like there are products missing that are gluten free, so I do not completely rely on this book. One example is Starbucks. Certain Starbucks products are gluten free but this book makes no mention of them in the coffee section.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good start for searching for gluten free foods, June 13, 2009
By 
This review is from: Cecelia's Marketplace Gluten-Free Grocery Shopping Guide (Paperback)
During the past month, I have been having a lot of stomach issues and between doing research on the web and consulting of my friends and parents it seemed like I have either have developed a wheat allergy or have Celiac disease. After I started watching out for wheat products (and avoiding them), I am feeling much better.

That being said, this book is a good resource to get started to understand what is available and what is not. There are some limitations since this is a printed guide to what's new in products but gives useful information nonetheless...

There are a few cons that I like to point out on this book...
1) As stated above, the list gets outdated when printed; a online version would be great...

For example, some Chex cereals are now gluten-free (corn, rice) and more are coming...

Users of this manual should also have an acount on the American Celiac Society page and subscribe to food updates (also to check out new food offerings).

2) The listing of store brands seem to be of some large regional stores that are not in certain areas such as Safeway, Publix and Wegmans. Since I live in the west, I shop in Safeway but some areas in the Northeast, Central US and parts of the South do not have these stores; buyers in these areas have to be careful of the generic brands.

When it comes to generic brands buyer beware. For example, I mention Corn and Rice Chex cereals are gluten free. Safeway's generics are not; they contain Malt which is a wheat-gluten product. So you need to watch for hidden ingredients wheat-gluten products...

3) There should be a page, in the beginning of the book, where they itemize suspect wheat-gluten ingredients such as malt, modified starch, gluten, and others.

4) A quick tutorial of how to read ingredients (now a must) would be nice but there are some good websites that are I found on Google...
