Helpful information for Celiacs December 11, 2007

I realize that this was written with medical professionals in mind, and it reads with a lot of medical-ees. But, if you've suffered from Celiac disease for any amount of time, you've probably already become a mini-digestive specialist anyway (I know I did!!), so it's not too scary. The charts, as another reviewer said, are incredibly helpful. I am newly diagnosed and suffering from multiple nutrient deficiencies, this really helped me to figure out which supplements I needed most (sometimes in life we have to make difficult choices).
THIS IS NOT AN EXCERSIZE IN SELF-DIAGNOSIS, as suggested by another reader. Gluten is a perfectly valid and healthy product for people who do not suffer from an intolerance or Celiac disease, so for God's sake, let your Doctor diagnose you (but give him this book as a gift!!). Wheat, rye and barley have made up the diet of many a successful civilization, so no self-diagnosis with this book, ok? Gluten is not evil, just bad for those of us who tend to make antibodies to it. ;)

This comprehensive guide to celiac disease is a thorough, well-researched and fully indexed sourcebook. As someone recently diagnosed as gluten intolerant, I've been reading everything I can find on the subject and have found Recognizing Celiac Disease to be an excellent resource. Libonati organizes her research into tables and charts that make learning about this disease clear and understandable.
Fully backed up by studies, this book should appeal to physicians as well as the layman looking for answers.
If you even THINK you have a problem with gluten, you gotta read this. June 19, 2007

Wow, now I have the answers to the many different symptoms that I have suffered. While I test negative for Celiac, both my husband and I have had less gas, bloating, diarrhea after switching to a gluten-free diet. This has got to be on your bookshelf if you or someone you love has a problem, sensitivity or allergy to gluten. Live a healthier life without gluten by being informed. Now if we could just get the food industry to reduce its use of gluten in so many products, everyone's health would improve.

This book is great! I have celiac disease and because of this book I am finally able to understand everything I need to know about this disease and how to fix my health problems. I had no idea so many of my problems were related to simple nutrient deficiencies. Now I know what to look for and what foods to eat to get what I need. The food charts are awesome. Everything was easy to understand. I've already told other people about this book.
