This is a GREAT book, having Celiac and type 2 diabeties has been a real challenge. This books helps you know how to eat with these 2 very serious health issues. It offers meal planning that you can actually follow, along with some serious health information. I highly reccommend this book.

This book is easy reading, straightforward, and contains sensible suggestions for eating healthy foods. It presents a guide for eating for the rest of your life.

Having celiac disease I am always looking for something else to help me and this book has many excellent suggestions to help me.

I was totally disappointed in this book. There are so many gluten free foods available in the U.S. now and none of them were listed. Even some of the most basic options were missing. If she wants to sell her book outside of Australia she needs to research the many companies that specialize in gluten free foods in other countries. The general information which is ok is easily available elsewhere, I wanted a good list of the glycemic values of gluten free foods. This got returned.

If you know *anything* about GI, this book doesn't really tell you anything new. I'm new to gluten-free eating, and my blood sugar is totally shot from the quality of the carbs I'm eating, so I was hoping for some good ideas for gluten free grains in particular that I could add to stabilize my blood sugar and not feel crazy. But saying I should eat gluten free whole grain toast isn't helpful. I need specifics. Recipes for the whole grain flatbread, bread, etc that is recommended in the meal plan. The recipes just aren't exciting. There are plenty of recipes for quinoa pilaf to be found free online. I'm returning this one.

This book is an excellent resource for anyone who is diabetic and gluten free. There were many things that were explained in this book that I was never aware of. The recipes seem a little bit difficult (given the ingredients used), but the information is great!

My review won't be very helpful...other than to say this is a great book for someone who has Celiac disease even if you are NOT diabetic.

The information is very useful for a more healthy diet and for figuring out how different foods process through your body.

I liked this book. It opened my eyes for the first time to glycemic index and how important it is to watch what types of food we put in our bodies and even how foods I thought were similar were really different in their impact on my blood sugar. As far as the review about Australia, I can't comment on that other than there is good general knowledge in the book well outside of Australia, and I do believe that gluten free Australian products are regularly available here as well.

I had this book in t he non-gluten free version. Now that I am gluten free I wanted to update my library. Lots of good information for gluten free living.
