I was wanting to buy a book on celiac that will teach me all about it .I know some things now but I figure a book could help me out .Ive learned so much here to its an awesome site.Im on it everyday learning things.I was just wondering if you guys have any books you would recomend? .The thing is I have to buy the book online because none of the book stores have any books on celiac disease.Is there a website were you can buy celiac disease books? thanks

My opinion is that unless it's some medical book that contains celiac disease, it's not going to tell you much that you don't already know. There are a fair number of books, but they all seem to be quite similar: forbidden ingredient lists, how to deal with it, no cheating, what's the disease, etc. You already know that stuff.....celiac disease books are good for newbies, but after the first few months you're beyond them.

"Wheat Free Worry Free" by Dana Korn is absolutely a MUST read!!! Should be available at Amazon.

I've found this one fairly useful - particularly for it's listings:

Gluten-Free Resource Guide

I'm sure there are better out there, but it's a good mix of info, listings, and recipes for me. (The muffin recipe is quite good as well!)

I second the recommendation of Danna Korn's book "Wheat Free, Worry Free" and I'll add "Dangerous Grains" by James Braly and Ron Hoggan. Both are very different and indespensible in any Celia/Gluten Intolerant persons library. You can get them at a lot of different places online, but I know that amazon .com sells them both and when you spend $25 or more you get free shipping. That is where I usually get books, since they tend to also have better prices. Each of these books sells there for only $10.47, but else where for $15 and up. Just go to their bookstore site and do a search for gluten or celiac. Lots of books come up, but most of them are cookbooks. here are some links:

I hope this helps.
