Celiac disease is a digestive disorder caused by a sensitivity to the protein gluten in wheat flour, which in turn can damage the small intestine and inhibit the body’s absorption of nutrients from food. The disease is hereditary and can affect entire families. Cowritten by a registered nurse who lives with celiac disease, a dietician, and a clinical pharmacist, this indispensable guide tackles all aspects of the disease, including symptoms, diagnosis, management, complications, and current research. While many cookbooks and dietary manuals on gluten intolerance exist, Celiac Disease is the only book on how to live fully and richly while maintaining a gluten-free lifestyle. In addition to learning how to set up and maintain a gluten-free kitchen, readers find strategies for tackling emotional issues, nutrition and dietary guidelines, tips for dining out, and advice on raising a celiac child.

3.0 out of 5 stars
good book but preachy about religion,
This review is from: Celiac Disease: A Guide to Living with Gluten Intolerance (Paperback)
I found this book to be really good and had some great info on Celiac disease. It also had some great ideas, links, etc. What I didn't care for was the author's rather forceful religious views that she sprinkled throughout the book. It was a rather Christian-centric (is there such a word) book in that she seemed to assume that everyone reading the book was religious and a Christian. She mentioned God several times throughout the book. I, for one, did not feel comfortable with this. This should be a medical book but I don't think it's appropriate to bring religion (especially in the way that she did) into it. This book seems to be somewhat between a medical book and religious literature. She needs to stick to one or the other, I don't like the mixing of the religious themes into this.

Very Informative,
This review is from: Celiac Disease: A Guide to Living with Gluten Intolerance (Paperback)
Celiac Disease is difficult to diagnose and even more difficult to live with. This book should give hope and encouragement to anyone with Gluten Intolerance. I have recommended it to our local support group as it is well researched and very well written.
Thanks Sylvia - Great job!
