    Synopsis

    The definitive guide to the gluten-free lifestyle, completely revised and updated for the 2.2 million Americans with celiac disease

    According to a landmark 2003 National Institutes of Health study, 2.2 million Americans suffer from celiac disease, an allergy to the protein gluten found in wheat. Since this book was first published in 1995 (as Against the Grain), Jax Peters Lowell has been helping celiacs follow a gluten-free diet with creativity, resourcefulness, and humor.

    This edition includes chapters covering
    - the latest research into celiac disease, and myths that have
    been debunked
    - how to eat out happily, including a short course in restaurant
    assertiveness training
    - how to eat in happily, including a discussion of online and
    mail order suppliers and negotiating the supermarket as a celiac
    - dozens of delicious new recipes
    - drugs, cosmetics, and other products tested for celiac-safety
    - a thoroughly updated resource section

    Tens of thousands of celiacs have already enhanced their lives with Lowell's authoritative, witty, and practical guide. The Gluten-free Bible promises to bring relief to the new gluten-intolerant generation.

    Worth purchasing if you are newly diagnosedby Gluten_Free_Girl

    May 10, 2009: Most of my social activities revolve around food. Once diagnosed as gluten intolerant I wandered around my usual market stops in a numbed state, bleary eyed from label reading. My worst fear was that all of my relationships would change and my love affair with food was over. I bought a few books, all helpful, but this is the one that gave me comfort and helped guide me in how to preserve my dining centered relationships.

    While I cannot expect to enjoy the same treatment as the author while dining out,(becaue of her celebrity and expertise), her advice with ordering is interesting.

    I particularly enjoyed her Thanksgiving Dinner story. I could feel the love.

    Really helpful for anyone new to a gluten free life.by Anonymous

    March 02, 2009: A very helpful book for anyone, especially someone new to having to eat without gluten! She writes clearly and with a zippy sense of humor which helps. There is a lot to learn and she provides a great variety of ways into the subject.
