I read through a lot of it one day at Border's when our a/c wasn't working ... looked intersting.

I have a copy, but truth to tell, I get lots more info from this site than from any book. (I do get a lot out of the cookbooks, but not so much from the general-information kind.) This forum is an incredible resource; I don't know what I'd do without you folks!

I have it on hand as a resource and book for others to borrow. Someone has it right now in fact. I haven't read the thing cover to cover but it had a few recipes I liked. I don't think it brings up anymore info that isn't in Wheat Free Worry Free

I bought it, and LOVE it. Primarily because I'm brand new to this, and it puts things in VERY basic, easy to understand terms. When one is as overwhelmed as I am... basic is good!

I've read most of it, and I love it! :lol:

My son wants to read it when I'm done as he is having a hard time understanding what it is I'm going through. I think that's awesome.

I have three books: Dangerous Grains, Gluten Free for Dummies, and Wheat Free Worry Free. I feel as though they are all excellent. I bought gluten-free for Dummies for my father, who doesn't understand much until he reads it, and I wanted something simple and updated for him. I think they're all great.

I didn't get into it yet but that is my plan for lunch today to start reading it. The more info the better.

I'm finished with it and the only improvement I could see is if all the recipes were on perforated sheets so I could compile them in my gluten-free recipe folder. Danna does not profess to be a great cook but some of her recipes looks great and seem super easy which is the only type I try. Recipes aside, it's a very relateable book and made me laugh throughout - plus I learned a lot!

That is good to hear. You have to have some humor about you when you have Celiac or like me have a spouse with it. We do pretty good though overall dealing with it. You just work around the things you can't have & find substitutions as best you can.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By Kmd2024 · Posted

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.
