Product Description

A delicious, nutritious gluten-free eating plan for life!

From now on, a gluten-free diet doesn't have to mean taste-free, nutrition-free, and convenience-free. Yes, you must avoid a host of foods containing wheat, barley, rye, and even most oats. But nutritionist and gluten-free-diet researcher Tricia Thompson has assembled an army of food choices for you that are not just gluten-free but also tasty and packed with nutrients!

The Gluten-Free Nutrition Guide is filled with new gluten-free eating strategies, the latest research, and dozens of tips on living better with celiac disease. Inside you will find:

• Fifty delicious gluten-free recipes, many from noted celiac disease experts
• Advice for living with and controlling celiac disease
• Information on safe and delicious foods that boost your fiber intake
• The best ways to avoid the common pitfalls of a gluten-free diet, such as high fat intake and low intakes of B vitamins, iron, and calcium

4.0 out of 5 stars Good beginner's guide, November 3, 2008

By	A. Enders (San Francisco, CA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is a great first book for gluten-free initiates. I've been eating a gluten-free diet for about a year now--reading tons of literature on the subject--so most of this book was a review for me. However, there were some gems about certain nutrients that I may lack and creative ways to add them to my diet. The recipes were also helpful and quick to make, unlike many other gluten-free recipe books where you have to have custom flour blends on hand to make anything.
