Summary: An Easy and Fun Read That Covers All the Bases
Review: I felt so lucky to stumble onto this book.

"Once considered a rare condition, celiac disease is now thought to be the most prevalent genetic disorder in the world," says author Danna Korn. She goes on to say that, "for every diagnosed celiac, 89 go undiagnosed."

This comprehensive resource really puts it all together. Divided into three basic sections, the book covers everything from: a definition of the disorder, related/associated disorders, how to talk to your doctor, lists of safe and unsafe foods, all about grains, menu planning, recipes, nutritional requirements, testing, the emotional side of CD and a host of other invaluable topics.

For some, a gluten-free diet is just a healthier choice. But for just over a million of us in the US, it isn't an option, it's a necessity. This book is a lifesaver in a health care environment that isn't as knowledgeable as it could be.

Summary: A Must Have for Celiacs
Review: Our family has just been found to have Celiac Disease. This book has been so helpful. A resource that anyone with gluten intolerence needs. It has made an overwhelming task seem doable. There is also a wealth of information and great ideas. By giving up my coffee habit I realized having that wired up feeling all day clouded my concentration. Did you know one cup of joe raises your blood pressure by 14%! Fortunately for me I was able to find a wonderful tasting replacement made from soyabeans. You brew like coffee and it even helps lower my cholesterol. I found it online at www.S o y c o f f e e.c o m. Gaining this understanding will effect every move you make from this point on and will bring with it the necessity to share it. Things that I would have never thought of until we were in the situation. Thanks to this book we are a prepared family!!

Review: Since finding all of my kids were Celiac several months ago I have been reading lots and this is by far the most informative one. Why you won't get diagnosed, what symptoms you could have,asscociated illness and on and on. If you are newly diagnosed or an old pro there is lots to be learned in this book, so GO BUY IT!

Summary: Excellent book!
Review: This book is a must have for celiacs. Since my husband was diagnosed, we have read many of the more popular books on celiac disease, and none of them have been nearly as helpful as this book. The tone the author uses is positive, and she doesn't use scare tactics to convince celiacs that they need to be careful with their diets, as many of the other books do! This book also contains more scientific information than any of the others, which will be appreciated by people who want to know exactly what is going on with their bodies. I would purchase this book first, and then follow up by ordering cookbooks, etc.

Summary: A must-read if gluten-free
Review: This book is upbeat, practical, funny, and extremely comprehensive. The author has left no stone un-turned, covering the full gamut of the challenges associated with gluten-free living. The beauty is that even though you're reading about a "disease", you'll walk away from this book somehow feeling like you're one of the "lucky ones" who has found the key to better health. At our company, we like this book so much that we put it on our home page at gluten solutions dot com so that everyone new to the diet is sure to find this resource. I've read almost every gluten-free book on the market, and this one is tops.

Summary: A MUST HAVE
Review: This is a must have book for parents of Celiac kids. It is the most up-to-date book on the market and includes a CURRENT list of approved foods/additives. That's very helpful if you have a dietician like mine who gave me an outdate list from 2001. Much has changed. For example, some vinegars are okay. Which means some mustards and ketchups etc are okay. My favorite part is page 193 where it starts a list of suggested meal items for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Extremely helpful when you find yourself in the kitchen after a long day and you're wondering what is safe to feed your child. There are a lot of regular food items that are safe. I bought extra books for my family and care givers because the first chapter explains all about the disease. Very helpful because I fumble with the explanation about how any amount of gluten is poison to the system. I HIGHLY recommend this book.
