I have found this book on celiac disease an invaluable resource for living a gluten free life! The information is very straightforward and easy to understand. It makes celiac disease much easier to understand. What I love the most are the lists of what is and isn't exceptable to eat on a gluten free diet. I find myself referencing them often and always keep the book within reach if I have a question about what I can eat! Learning to live a gluten free life, is an ongoing learning process and this book has made the transition so much easier for me. I haven't tried the recipe's yet, but find the book an excellent resource.Tell Me What to Eat If I Have Celiac Disease: Nutrition You Can Live With

Having recently developed Celiac disease and being very ignorant of proper diets, I found this book to be just what I needed to get me on my way to healthy living with this problem.
Thanks!

This is a very thorough guide on Celiac Disease. I carry it in my purse for quick reference. It has become my bible. It has helped my family work through this issue. I'm grateful for it!

I recently decided to try gluten free diet for my son who was diagnosed with autism. This book has been a true blessing. I carry it with me everywhere I go and have even gotten my son involved in reading it to make sure he knows what to look for to avoid gluten. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for information on how to be gluten free.

I bought this book as a gift for my Mom. She absolutely loves it and says she has learned so much. The book has loads of information and suggestions.

I have two family members that are Celiacs. The books were purchase for them sort of as stocking stuffers at Christmas. They have both commented that the books contain information quite useful to them.

This book provides a short, concise introduction to Celiac disease and makes suggestions for healthy eating, recipes,and contact information.It ships quickly.KIND Minis Variety Pack, 12-Count

I'm just skimming the book over, because much of the information I'm already familiar with. Kimberly Tessmer is an RD(Registered Dietician), and LD(Licensed Dietician). The book does contain helpful info regarding celiac disease. However, I am quite dissappointed with the nutritional content. There are quite a few recipes, but just about all of them contain cheese, and many also contain meat. According to [...] cheese/dairy is one of the worst things you can put into your body. [...] can also inform you of the hormones and antibiotics that they pump into the livestock today. Also, the author repeatedly encourages you to consult with a qualified professioal or physician. Just be forewarned about the medical community's lack of knowledge and/or willingness to diagnose celiac disease for what it is. Mis-diagnosis are quite common as Elizabeth Hasselbeck will attest to in her book. According to Dr. Green in her book The GFree Diet, "In the U.S. less than 5 percent of those who have celiac disease get diagnosed-compared with the roughly 30 to 40 percent diagnosis rate in other countries such as Australia, Italy, and Ireland. The reason- in this country the pharmaceutical idustry provides 80 percent of the money for medical research. Simply put: Since there are no drugs to treat celiac disease, pharmaceutical companies stand to gain no profits from encouraging its diagnosis."
