Just saw this in the book club we belong to... looks like a possible buy........ has anyone read it, and do you think it's worth buying/the money?

Thanks, GC

If you're talking about the book by Peter Green -- it's a definite buy. A good read, too.

I liked it! If you're looking for a lifestyle-type book, then this is not really for you, but medically it's very interesting.

For a dining/traveling guide book I highly recommend 'Let's Eat Out!' by Kim Khoeller. She lists ALL the allergens, not just gluten for those of you (and there seem to be many) with more than gluten to worry about. I am learning so much about food and what goes in it at restaurants all over the world. It's too big to take on vacation and lug around but you can jot down notes about whatever type cuisine you'll be having on vacation. She talks about alcohols as well.

Dr. Green's new book is a must read for those who don't have good doctors to follow up with them since he tells you what tests to make your doctor do (vitamins/thyroid etc.) and my copy of Danna Korn's new book came yesterday and I can't put it down. It is fabulous! I think if you order both of those from amazon you'd get free shipping.

My favorites are the ones by Jax Peters Lowell. Against the Grain and the Gluten Free Bible. They helped me with getting over felling down and dealing with family who say "Can't you just have a little?". The Gluten Free Bible is the newest and has a whole lot more info in it and Mrs. Lowell has a good sense of humor.

Those two you just mentioned are also FILLED with technical inaccuracies... there's a thread on the book in this section--try a search for it.

Well thanks everyone... guess I'll give it a try. Gotta be careful these days, so many people trying to get rich with bogus "anything that sells"... especially these book clubs, they will literally sell anything......... thanks again!

Yeah against the Grain my mom bought when I was diagnosed, a long time ago. It is filled with stuff that is wrong, it was a good reference 15 years ago however. So is the Gluten Free Bible, not so good!

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily basis.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.

      Thanks for your input.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly flareups.
