Bookstores Suck

So I've had to follow a gluten free diet for a week now and I was curious to look at some books about it. I also wanted to get a book for my Mom since she gets worked up about what I can eat when ever I visit her. I went to Borders and Barnes & Noble but neither one had a good celiac selection. Barnes and Nobles actually said they didn't have any books for adults on the subject. Crazy! I hate to have to order a book because I'm never 100% sure that I'm ordering the book that I need. Guess I'll order one used so I don't feel too disappointed.

One option is to check your local library. Ours doesn't have a great selection but there are some and they're free. You can get some through transfer from one branch to another if the one that you go to doesn't have the one you are looking for. I hear ya though. It's really hit an miss with the book stores some locations have better selections than others.

Where I live Borders has a much, much better selection of Gluten free books on the shelves. Speak with the local bookstores and ask about ordering the book at the store and having the book delivered to the store. I have done this at my local Barnes and Noble. Although I ordered the book I was under no obligation to buy it. It allowed me to look at a book before i actually buy it. You will need to check the current policies since I have not done this in a while.

The Borders near me has a pretty good selection but they are not where I firest expected to find them although in retrospect probably in the right place. I first looked in cookbooks and diet. I found them in medical - diseases and conditions.

I went back to Borders to see if they could order the book I want. I'm a registered dietitian and I like to keep reference book and other things that may be helpful so I figured I'd just purchase something. Turns out that they had more books this time on the subject and they even had both of the books I was looking for.

The best book I can recommend, far and away, is "The Gluten Connection" by Shari Lieberman. Some bookstores will have it in stock but all can order it for you and have it within a few days. The book does a wonderful job of explaining everything from symptoms, to diagnosis, to treatment, supplements and recipes. The book is more accurate and up-to-date than any of the doctors I've seen...a must for everyone that has been, or thinks they might be, gluten intolerant.

Best of luck!

I found a ton of books at my Barnes & Noble (in NJ) but they were all in the cookbook section, not in the Health section.

      Does anyone else get soaking wet sweats just out of nowhere? I’m not in menopause, there’s nothing wrong with me except celiac disease and my thyroid, and I’m taking my medicine. I am 18 days gluten-free but I cannot stop sweating and it makes me freezing cold and I’m soaking wet and changing my clothes literally as I’m changing my clothes the new clothes are soaking wet and nobody will help me. Please somebody out there help me.

      Sometimes I end up spitting out a drink of water! But for the most part I do ok with the liquids that I've been sticking to which Is hardly anything carbonated (meaning diet soda mainly)  I drink alot of tea which I make myself lipton cold brew sweetened with half sugar and half Splenda, smoothies when I could in the beginning but made with milk so I'm now using orange juice instead of the milk but it doesn't workout real often I drink black coffee in the mornings with no trouble usually and I've been experimenting with some juices but the sugar content is a set back I'm not a huge water fan but will drink it unfortunately where I live I can't do the tap water I'm the only one who has a problem with it apparently but for some reason I just can't...unless I'm using it in coffee or tea and the tea even took me some time to stand yes I have thought about boost/ ensure but they are very costly for someone who is scrapping the bottom at this time

      Do you believe your swallowing is a manifestation of your neuropathy? I'm thinking if you are having trouble getting food down you need to focus on consuming things that have a high nutritional density so that whatever you are able to get down counts for something. Have you looked at Boost and other high protein/high calorie shake products?  They are fortified with vitamins and minerals as well. Do you have any trouble with aspiration of liquids? For celiac testing purposes, the guidelines are calling for daily consumption of about 10gm of gluten - the amount in about 4-6 slices of bread - in order to ensure valid testing. That sounds like it would be a challenger for you.

      Thank you and I am aware that I should be eating a "normal" diet until tested it's kind of been trial and error for my diet or more like just ERROR! I about 1-3 bites a meal I'm to a point that 99 percent of the time I'm having trouble swallowing just about everything occasionally I find either something or a very small window of time that allows me to get very little of something! I am basically getting zero nutrition what so ever because I take one bite of the meal that I usually just slaved over just to end up tossing it when it's all said and done...did anyone else ever experience anything like this?  I am more then open to suggestions! It is taking a very extreme toll on me and my body forsure
