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.

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.

This book provides readers with an excellent overview of how to live a gluten-free life. It covers the basics of digestion and why certain people need to go gluten-free, how to remove wheat and gluten from the diet, and the emotional issues involved with a diet change. Additionally, it covers how to deal with eating out, what you CAN eat, shopping, menu planning, travel tips, etc. It also deals with how to talk to friends, family and strangers about the diet. Recipes, index and a 26-page resource directory are included. The author is an expert on the subject and the founder of R.O.C.K. (Raising Our Celiac Kids), a support group for families with celiac disease.

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.

This is the best book that deals with Celiac disease that I have read so far! Danna has successfully lead us through the journey of entering the gluten free world. She does it with an excellent combination of easy reading and useful information.

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!

I have bought several books on gluten free cooking and Celiac since I found all of my kids have Celiac and this is the ultimate book on the subject.Anything you want or need to know is in this book ingredients to avoid, why your doctor may not diagnose, associated problems , intollerance vs. allergy and on and on! Do you think you could have gluten intollerance or allergy, are you newly diagnosed? Buy This Book!!! Lynn
