Most books out there on wheat or gluten intolerance only address the dietary issues. This book helps me deal with ALL aspects of having celiac disease. It's written in a really conversational tone, as if the author's sitting next to me explaining it all! I really enjoy this book and use it as a constant reference. Her recipes are good too, and I've learned so much about different types of food out there in the ethnic markets that are gluten free.

Since my diagnosis in 2003, I have spent many hours on the internet researching celiac disease. I thought I had learned everything there was to know, but this book proved me wrong. The basics are all there, along with helpful information about cross-contamination and other things that may delay recovery. I would definitely recommend it to newly-diagnosed celiacs, and even those who have been living with celiac disease for some time.

The one problem I did find with this book is that there are several ingredients on the 'Safe' and 'Avoid' food lists that conflict with other information I have found.

I found this book to be fabulous!! Recently someone in my family was diagnosed with Celiac so we all pitched in to become very supportive. With so many books to choose from, I chose this one because Ms. Crangle was informative without being overbearing. This book was very helpful and funny - made the transition to being gluten free quite easy!!
