Wheat Free Worry Free,
By Laurie de Grace (Oakville, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wheat-Free, Worry-Free: The Art of Happy, Healthy Gluten-Free Living (Paperback)
This book should be required reading for all medical doctors to prevent years of unnecessary suffering for yet-to-be-diagnosed Celiacs. I wish I had been told about this wonderful resource at the time my daughter was been diagnosed. It is the best source of information on Celiac Disease that I have found.

Excellent book!,
By Sarah J. Mills (West Sacramento, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wheat-Free, Worry-Free: The Art of Happy, Healthy Gluten-Free Living (Paperback)
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.
