Particularly Helpful Magazines Or Books?

Sorry if I've posted this in the wrong place - I wasn't sure where to put it - feel free to move it...I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for particularly good books or magazines? We're still new to Celiac (my daughter was diagnosed in the past couple weeks and I had bloodwork drawn today - I called my GI and asked for it - maybe my diagnosis of IBS 12 years ago has really, all this time, been celiac?) I noticed a magazine called Living Without - I can't find it in any store - before I pay for a subscription, I was wondering if anyone's seen it and is it good? What about basic books or cookbooks? We're also both lactose intolerant and I can't have soy, either. Thanks!

I have found Living Without in some of the health food stores here. I really like it and am thinking about getting a subscription. I have a subscription to Gluten Free Living and really like it. They always have a great section where they investigate foods for gluten (great one on blue cheese).

I like the Living Without magazine. I found it at Whole Foods. A couple good books are "Wheat Free Worry Free" and "Dangerous Grains".

Dangerous Grains is a more "in depth" look at what gluten is and how it affects us...its more scientific but "Wheat Free Worry Free" is easy reading.

I also love living without--definintely my favorite publication. Go here to see: Open Original Shared Link There's a section where you can view sample articles. There are always good recipes, practical/helpful information and encouraging stories...

I just started reading the Gluten Free Bible. So far, its pretty good and it's got funny parts :)

It covers basically coping with celiac, and all aspects thereof

I agree with the others about Living Without--I get it at Whole Foods, but I will probably be subscribing to it. For books, I would recommend Wheat free Worry free--a great book for someone new to gluten-free, and Dangerous Grains is a must-read for us and everyone in my opinion. I have just begun to read Dr. Green's new book--Celiac Disease-A Hidden Epidemic. So far it looks very good.

Thank you so much everyone for your responses. I went to Borders yesterday and bought Wheat Free, Worry Free, The Gluten Free Bible and Celiac: A Hidden Epidemic. I flipped through all three last night - I couldn't decide which to start first! I also went to Whole Foods but they didn't have any copies of Living Without. They said they'd hold one for me when the new copy comes out. Anyone know when that will be? Thank you so much - you all are so helpful - I really appreciate it.

My opinion:

Celiac magazines are nice to read (and I do read them), but are not going to be a primary source of information for you when you're starting the diet....

Books:

Wheat-Free, Worry-Free is the book I recommend most often. It's a phenomenal resource, complete, trustworthy, etc. Dr. Green's "Celiac Disease: A Hidden Epidemic" is the best medically, weaker on lifestyle. The Gluten-Free Bible is filled with inaccuracies about products' gluten-free status and recommends certain things you should avoid (ask me if you want to see a longer thread about it). The author has a great writing style, just not so accurate info, so you should be careful about reading that before you read something more authoritative, as Danna Korn's or Dr. Peter Green's book(s).

celiac3270 - Thank you for your input. The reason I bought those three books is that they were the only ones that the store carried. A teacher of my daughter's has celiac and is the one who had recommended the Gluten Free Bible to me. I had heard, on this board, others saying that they didn't think it was the best book around too. Maybe I'll return it - we're so new to this whole thing I hate to read inaccurate information - I'm finding the process confusing as it is! Anyway, I do like the other two - especially the Danna Korn book. I am looking forward to seeing her new book when it comes out in April - Celiac Disease for Dummies, or something like that. I do like her writing style - so easy to read. Again, thanks.

      Thank you.  I’ll be sure to look into those.

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
