Need A Book Suggestion For Newly Diagnosed Person

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.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I  really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.
