Editorial Review:
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 sectionTens 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.

This was a gift to my daughter who has been diagnosed with celiac disease.
She says it is a wonderful resource.
Rating:  - meh.
On the whole, this is a decent book. There is some very practical advice for dealing with celiac disease in a world where most people have never heard of such thing. Some very tasty recipes are listed. But the medical inaccuracies made me wonder how thoroughly the author researched her information before publishing it as a "bible" for all to take as the gospel truth.
Also, I found her attitude to be a bit testy in some parts. For example, the author says that if you're eating at the ... Read More
