Great humorus story about a serious subject.
This is a very funny, informative and fast reading story of the young boy who overcomes his health issues, brothers, and food cravings. The humor is age appropriate and the adventures of the hero of the story are entertaining and interesting.Once you start to read this story it is hard to put down, anticipating his next encounter. I would highly recommend this story to anyone who would simply enjoy a good story.

Product Description
Celiac disease is on the rise. It is now known to affect one in 133 Americans, with many yet to be diagnosed. For those affected, eating presents quite a challenge.

As author Claudine Crangle explains in her book, Living Well with Celiac Disease: Abundance Beyond Wheat and Gluten, Second Edition, avoiding gluten (the protein in wheat) is like walking in a minefield because it lurks in the most unsuspected foods, from soy sauce and bouillon cubes to salami and instant coffee.

Now completely revised to include the latest news on medical research, new original recipes, a meal planning section, updated gluten-free resource and a user-friendly index. Living Well with Celiac Disease opens up a whole new world of culinary delights and will change old notions of what it means to be on a "restricted" diet. The book also includes a Foreword by Cynthia Rudert, M.D., Medical Advisor for the Celiac Disease Foundation and the Gluten Intolerance Group of America. Dr. Rudert has one of the largest practices in North America dedicated to celiac disease and treats patients from all over the world.

Living Well with Celiac Disease provides essential strategies for anyone who cannot tolerate wheat or gluten due to celiac disease. This book is also for those looking for relief from symptoms of numerous other conditions such as Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, MS, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, ADD, autism, schizophrenia, eczema and psoriasis, candida, diverticulitis, migraines, and chronic sinusitis.

Crangle covers practical issues, such as how to organize your kitchen cupboards, ordering in restaurants, grocery shopping and traveling, as well as the personal territory of explaining diet guidelines to party hosts and first dates. She guides you through the host of multi-ethnic cuisine readily available in urban centers, and suggests many new and delicious foods and recipes from countries where wheat is not a diet staple. The book also includes a chapter on where to find support groups, other books and magazines devoted to gluten-free living, and a comprehensive listing of Internet sites for celiacs worldwide. ...

Fabulous
I found this book to be fabulous!!Recently someone in my family was diagnosed with Celiac so we all pitched in to become very supportive.With so many books to choose from, I chose this one because Ms. Crangle was informative without being overbearing. This book was very helpful and funny - made the transition to being gluten free quite easy!!

An Excellent Resource
Since my diagnosis in 2003, I have spent many hours on the internet researching celiac disease.I thought I had learned everything there was to know, but this book proved me wrong.The basics are all there, along with helpful information about cross-contamination and other things that may delay recovery.I would definitely recommend it to newly-diagnosed celiacs, and even those who have been living with celiac disease for some time.

The one problem I did find with this book is that there are several ingredients on the 'Safe' and 'Avoid' food lists that conflict with other information I have found.

Every celiac should have this book!
Most books out there on wheat or gluten intolerance only address the dietary issues. This book helps me deal with ALL aspects of having celiac disease. It's written in a really conversational tone, as if the author's sitting next to me explaining it all! I really enjoy this book and use it as a constant reference. Her recipes are good too, and I've learned so much about different types of food out there in the ethnic markets that are gluten free. ... Read more

Kid's gluten free story book
My granddaughter has had a hard time since birth with stomach pains, diarrhea etc.She was recently put on a gluten free diet at age 5 and now is symptom free.This story book written by a little boy and his own experiences with allergies to flour etc.It is an excellent resource for young kids with a gluten allergy.I would recommend this book to others.

Terrific Book on Celiac/Gluten Intolerance for All Ages
This book chronicles a family's story, starting with young Cooper, in finding out that gluten is causing their health problems, like headaches and stomach/abdominal issues. It's written in simple language, so that it's great for children, but that same approach is just right for adults. There are plenty of books available on celiac/gluten intolerance that share in-depth medical information on celiac. However, folks who are newly diagnosed or suspect they have a gluten issue will find this book very helpful and not overwhelming (which the others often are). The illustrations by the author are lovely and add substantially to the success of the book. Finally, the surprise ending is a nice treat and will be appreciated. I highly recommend this book! ...

Most Informative Book on Celiac Today!
I cannot express enough how helpful this book has been for someone living with celiac disease. This book was researched and written by someone who lives with this disease every single day, and knows what its like to struggle with finding the right healthy and safe food choices. Celiac disease is a daily struggle, and Sue highlights step by step what it takes to live a normal life with this disease. I applaud Ms. Hassett for her well-researched, and informative book on Celiac disease. It looks like Mrs. Hasselbeck thought it was great too, as she seemed to have copied it word for word. A huge thanks goes to Sue Hassett for writing such a wonderfully helpful book. I have passed a few on to family members who share this unique disease as well, to further help them in their struggle.

This book saved my cousins life
For years my cousin struggled with undiagnosed celiac disease. This book taught him how to manage his disease and live symptom free for over a year now. It has great recipes and tips on everything a celiac sufferer needs to know what to avoid to live a normal life. I would HIGHLY recomend this book to anyone who has, or knows somebody who has, this disease.

Do not waste your time or money on this book.
This is the most poorly written and factually uninformed book I've ever had the misfortune to come across.The constant miss-spelling and bad grammar is a painful distraction that also negates any possible credibility from the author.Ms Hassett comes across angry and ignorant. She's an embarrassment for all persons living with Celiac.

Many other good celiac books
This is a poorly written book. There are many grammatical errors and little helpful information. There are many other great books on celiac and gluten free diets. ... Read more

Great!!
Great book!!A must read for someone who has Celiac or anyone trying to understand the disease.

Interesting but lots of repetition
Worth reading.Interesting tidbits of information; good to read all the various views and key points that appear to be common in many of the articles although it does make it rather repetitious in reading the whole book; all the medical terms can make it kind of confusing - some articles are easier to read than others for those of us who haven't studied anatomy or medicine.I can tell you though, that for someone who does not actually feel the physical symptoms of what gluten is doing to my body, reading this has made me more diligent about not cheating and being more careful to keep gluten out of my diet.

Excellent resource for those with celiac disease.
As a newly diagnosed celiac, I have bought many books on the subject. This book is particularly informative and I highly recommend it. ... Read more

Product Description
Whoever you are, whatever your background, if you really want to understand the heart and soul of celiac disease, then this book is for you.

A novel treatise on celiac disease, the book was selected as an Award-winning Finalist in the "Best Books 2006" Book Awards sponsored by USABookNews.com in the category Health/General.

This book arises from the premise that the exception proves that the rule is wrong; that the medical community really got it wrong with celiac disease.

The nature of celiac disease is sought in the midst of myth and ignorance.Truly original, simple to read and fully cited, this book is thought-provoking.

Dr. Lyons writes without assuming the reader has a scientific background, while not sacrificing accuracy. Moreover, this material is not readily available elsewhere to the general public.

Part I gives the reader a very good understanding of celiac disease (the basics).

Part II delves into the molecular basis of celiac disease by piecing together the eloquent European research (the science).

Part III is the author's novel perspective of celiac disease, and includes an account of noteworthy observations not found on the record. ... Read more

Celiac Disease Illuminated
This is a well written book by an author with a clear and orderly mind.Sheilluminates the subject, celiac disease, with compassion and a dynamic understanding of the condition and the science of it.Her metaphors are helpful and she puts her knowledge into everyday imagery we can all relate to and visualize.For me, this is the best that an author with specialized knowledge and training can do: make it available and understandable to all who read it.I also found it refreshing that while Dr Lyons refers to available testing, she did not make her book all about marketing/spending your money with medical doctors.She includes information about celiac disease not available elsewhere.I am grateful that she took the time to write this volume and I have already benefited from reading it.

Excellent Book
This is an excellent book that I would recommend to any one who may or may not know what Celiac disease is! ... Read more

Product Description
What happens when a Certified Sports Nutritionist is diagnosed with Celiac Disease? An action plan like no other, designed in a format that can be read and applied the same day. This book is every Celiac's most needed friend. Firstly, a list of safe and unsafe ingredients in a slim, pocketbook format that makes it easy to have on hand while grocery shopping or carry anywhere. (note: not a grocery guide - as those can be outdated before even printed! manufacturers change ingredients very often. this guide provides actual ingredients you can check on labels which is the only way to eat safely)Also included: where to look for hidden dangers, food processing information, vitamin and supplement requirements, a small section addressing Celiac's relation to depression, and several ideas on how to make a smooth - even enjoyable -transition to living a gluten free life. How is all this packed into a small guide that fits in a purse? The author has a rare ability to zero in on the facts that matter and deliver them in a summarized, concise, very easy to read style. Probably the only book on the subject written in as close to point form as possible. The reader will not need to sort through hundreds of pages to find what they need. This guide is not meant to be an encyclopedia discussing Celiac; written in such a condensed way, every sentence on every page counts. An absolutely indispensable guide for every Celiac. ...

Handy to have around
When I read the review for this book I though it would have a lot of information about cd in general.Once i fully read the book there was mostly information on label reading, All products good and bad for someone with cd are in this book.There is name after name after name of ingredients to look at while you do your label reading, someone that has recently been dx with cd might find this book information overload.It is nice because it is somewhat small and thin so if you want to take it shopping with you that is possible.

Life saver
Great find. I'm so happy and relieved i found this book. Before i bought this book, i tried to do my own research and still ended up buying the wrong food which made me sick. This book is very thorough yet compact and gives me a truly complete list of the kinds of foods i can eat and what i should stay away from. I would recommend this book to everyone suffering with celiac or knows someone who is.

To the point
I was overwhelmed with the amount of products which were not safe for celiacs and i didn't know where to start!Reading this book not only put it in a clear and straight forward way to help me understand it and look for the right things, but also gave a positive outlook about living with celiac disease. Clear, concise, positive, and informative.A smart read!

Where has this book been all these years????
I have been fumbling around with grocery guides for SO long! and I can't count how many times I still got sick with items listed as safe. My friend with MS also struggles with gluten and had this terrific little book and suggested it to me - and wow! Besides the fact that it is so much smarter and safer to check actual ingredients AS YOU BUY THEM (not from reports that are 2 years old, and thicker than the yellow pages). This guide is so small, I keep it in my purse and bring it everywhere now. I bought it just for the safe/unsafe lists, and was pleasantly surprised to find great tips plus a section at the back with great ideas that was really encouraging. Safety at your fingertips for barely the price of 2 magazines -don't think twice, just order it! This little gem is never leaving my side!

A great help!
When a close family member of mine was recently diagnosed with celiac disease, we did not know too much about it. This book clearly helped us understand what it consisted of, how to cope, and how to adjust in the most efficient and concise way.This was a helpful read, easy to understand and above all, gave us hope this disease isn't as limiting in life styles as one might think. Full of good information and helpful tips.I recommend this book to everyone! ... Read more

Product Description
Celiac disease (CD) is defined as a permanent sensitivity to the gluten in wheat and related proteins found in barley and rye. It affects 0.5-1 per cent of the general population world-wide. Currently the only available treatment is lifelong adherence to the gluten-free diet (GFD). This book discusses the lifestyle and financial implications that GFD has on patients as well as the nutritional diets that must be followed in both children and adults. The clinical presentations of CD are categorised into three main groups: malabsorption, autoimmunity and gut dysmotility. These three main groups are discussed as well as recently published work on celiac disease and the pregnancy outcome of patients with CD. Finally, techniques such as MR-enterography that are used to identify CD are addressed in this book as well. ... Read more

I contributed the chapter on "The Blocked Recognition Hypothesis."This is the best presentation of that hypothesis in print, and it includes the kind of "color" that would never be included in a journal article.

Not to put too fine a point on it, 18 months after the chapter was written, the hypothesis looks stronger than ever, and the prevailing etiologic hypothesis looks less plausible.If you're starting out in celiac disease research, you need this book. ... Read more

Not up to date
This book was back ordered so I assumed it was a new version. Not So. Some of the information in this book is good. It was published in 2002. A great deal has changed in the last 5 years, in the world of Celiac Disease. I saw no reference dates in the book later than 2001. Many of the websites listed no longer exist: the URLs were incorrect or outdated. For Example: the Gluten Intolerance Group is no longer in Seattle, WA, It is in Auburn, WA. I was anxiously awaiting this book but I have returned it and am waiting for a real "Revised and Updated" version, not another publishing run of a 2002 book.

My Lifesaver
I thought I was alone in this world with Celiac until I read this book.This gave me hope and inspiration that there are other people inflicted with the same disorder, and are able to continue day to day life.I would highly recommend to everyone with celiac to read this book.It has really made a difference in my life.

Good book but...
It was interesting to read the stories of those who have been diagnosed with coeliac disease collected in this volume. My concern is that the author states that people in New Zealand have "routine screening" for the disease (page 91). This is not the case.

Very enlightening
This book opened my eyes to many symptoms I've dealt with that I came to believe as "normal".It also helped me convince family members to get tested and start living healthier lives.Many thanks to the authorfor the time and effort she put into this wonderful book.

This guide is a God-send to people with Celiac. Nation-wide information packed into this great little book. Thank you Triumph Dining!

good
This is a great book to have when your new to gluten free diet and don't know where to eat. It also helps when you are in a different area then you live in and don't know all of the restaurants.

dont waste your money
I received this book today and its awful, I thought it would have all fast food & resturants listed to be helpful
has by each state and only a few and most of them says look at resturants menu on website, duh I can do that without a book !

Info I Didn't Even Know I Lacked
I first began a gluten free diet in 2007, and when I would see ads for this book, I would always think "I'm ok; I have the hang of reading labels to look for gluten-derived ingredients, and I'm in the habit of calling companies when I don't know for sure."

The people who put this book together, however, have gone to a lot of work to find out more information than one can normally get from a simple label or even a phone call to a manufacturer.They have symbols that indicate whether a company goes above and beyond, with practices in place to avoid cross-contamination, which companies have dedicated lines or facilities, which companies perform testing to ensure there is no cross-contamination, and which companies have a chance of cross-contamination (whether this is because the company's legal department doesn't want to stick their neck out and say it's absolutely safe or there truly are risks; either way, it's important to know).

I'm particularly hyper-sensitive to gluten, and I was able to remove several products from my kitchen that were suspect, despite labels indicating (and companies themselves claiming) they were gluten free, and my instances of "mystery glutenings" have dropped dramatically!This is over a period of about four to five months.

I recommend this book to anyone who lives gluten free, and I am hoping that future editions will include even more store brands!

Gluten-Free Restaurant Guide
This product was purchased for my daughter who has recently found she is allergic to gluten products. It is very helpful in finding places for her to eat but you most definitely have to call the places listed to be sure they are, indeed, gluten free. We found several places that did not even know they were in the book! Overall a good product and my experience with purchasing on Amazon was likewise a good experience. ... Read more

Product Description
Now urban legends are urban folklore that were created by stories weaved together and circulated around until most people have accepted them as truths. There are different kinds of urban myths and covers a wide range of subject matter. It’s not impossible to find that even diseases have their own folklore. A celiac disease urban legend revolves around tea bags containing gluten which can trigger the disease.

For those who do not know, celiac disease is a condition where the small intestines get inflamed due to the consumption of food containing gluten. Gluten is a protein commonly found in food made from wheat, barley, and rye. So such foods like bread, pizza, and pasta can contain gluten. The condition can be really bad in the long run. The inflammation that the disease causes in the intestines prevents the body to absorb the nutrients that it needs. So the end results would be malnutrition. Malnutrition itself can then cause more ailments.....
