Need A Book Suggestion For Newly Diagnosed Person


user001

Recommended Posts

Hello All! I would love a book suggestion that would perhaps give a plan for healing. I would like something that includes a comprehensive list of foods that I should eat and foods I should avoid. Extra points for notations on what is better cooked and what is ok to eat raw in the way of vegetables and fruits. There are several books out there, but I would rather not purchase one unless it is helpful to me and I was hoping for some input from someone who has been there and found something helpful.

 

I have already read Jennifers way, and it was great but I am still finding myself wanting more information.

Try hitting up your local library instead of buying, much much cheaper, and you can read more books.

 

I really enjoyed Dr Green's Celiac Disease: a Hidden Epidemic.  That's my favourite so far.

 

Gluten Freedom by Fasano discusses the science behind the disease for the layman

 

Clinical Guide to Gluten Related Disorders by Fasano  discusses the science in depth (not an easy read)

 

Wheat Belly was a good book but is not specific to celiac disease.

 

Let's Eat out by Koeller is helpful for going out.

 

Celiac Disease: a Guide to Living with Gluten Intolerance by Bower was pretty good.

 

Celiac Disease for Dummies is good and says much of the same as the books already listed

 

The gluten-free Diet by Hasselbach (sp?) was good but basic, and not always correct (sort of like Jennifer's Way).

Thank you!

 

I really have heard alot of good things here about gluten freedom, but my local library doesn't seem to have it yet. I will have to keep checking back and check for the others.

here is a list of some ebooks at amazon. prices really vary. it's hard to filter on just "guides" rather than cookbooks. you can also preview the contents before you buy to see if the book goes in the direction you want. if you're an amazon prime member, some books are free through the kindle lending library (something i *really* need to check out sometime).

Celiac Disease: The First Year by Jules Dowler Shepherd

 

Real Life with Celiac Disease by Melinda Dennis and Daniel  Leffler

 

are two of the best books out there for a newly diagnosed person.

 

Gluten Freedom by Alessio Fasano is also an excellent book.

 

P.S. I do not think Wheat Belly is a good book at all. Almost everything written in it has been debunked as false by several people. No science & no medical basis for a lot of his assertions. 

...I'm just sayin.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      It's much easier to correct low Vitamin D if you take high doses.  It's safe and health improvement is much faster.  This is how I corrected my severely low Vitamin D level.  I had no ill effects correcting my deficiency this way.

      I have had low Vit D for years before my Celiac diagnosis. I recommend Nature Made, it’s everywhere. GET THE TABLET, not the oil based capsule. The soy oil in the capsules give me diarrhea!

      I'm not yet diagnosed, seeing a GI March 4th I'm keeping a food diary and yesterday I went to play cards at a friends house and ate things I don't ordinarily eat- mainly a bunch of those mini chocolates that ppl typically give out at Halloween (hershey kisses, mr goodbar. milkway, snickers) I ate er... too many.  also had a tiny bit of some kind of creamy salad dressing on raw veggies.  I had SOO much pain last night in my feet- burning, numbness and pain in my feet and ankles, and a bit less so in my knees. Lasted for hours, kept me up half the night at the same time, the trouble with constipation that I've had ever since being put on the chlorthalidone, has started to improve but then gets worse again...and I can't figure out what is making it worse and what is helping it   it is like my entire digestive tract just shuts down.   Before finding out that I may have a renal calcium leak, I did not use fortified plant milks and did not consume dairy. Since being told to consume 1000-1200 mgs of calcium from food per day- I switched to fortified soy and almond milk and added some non fat or low fat plain yogurt (It is very hard to get that much  calcium from other sources without eating an enormous amt of food- I'm 70 and just can't eat that much. I'm already seeing my weight creep up which is disturbing)   I am seeing that ppl with celiac can have issues with dairy- what would those issues be? Did I get glutened yesterday unknowingly or does chocolate or that tiny bit of salad dressing I had have gluten in it?   My feet are fine this morning! thank goodness but the pain was excruciating last night.   I don't know what to do.  I am thinking that I should ditch the dairy  (which I never really wanted to consume in the first place) and maybe anything with calcium carbonate in it (that is very constipating for me) not only has my GI system slowed down, my stools are strange-  round and often float. This so so different from what used to be my normal (on the Bristol stool score it was in the ideal range) I will go several times a day - these meatball sized round floaters I don't know if I'm still dealing with the after affects of the chlorthalidone (which has a very long half life- my last dose of that was Feb 9th or 11th - I'll have to look that up but I think it's been almost a week.   I just want all this pain and discomfort to stop. but I don't know where it's coming from. those 12 days on gluten have just wrecked my whole system it seems.   any ideas what I might do to help things get back to normal?
