Gluten Free For Dummies

[swittenauer]

Has anyone read Living Gluten Free for Dummies yet? I just got it yesterday & am really excited to open it up & get started tonight.

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

I read it. It was certainly helpful.

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!

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.
