'How I Eat Without Wheat': New Book Helps Children Cope with Restricted Diets

SAN DIEGO, April 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Karen Fine helps young readers take

a positive approach to revitalizing their health through a gluten-free diet

in her new book, "How I Eat Without Wheat" (now available through

AuthorHouse).

Jack is a young boy who suddenly becomes sick and doesn't know why. His

parents take him to the doctor, and they find out that Jack can no longer

eat wheat, rye or barley because he has celiac disease. Jack embraces his

new diet and learns about all the alternative ingredients that can be used

in recipes so that he can still enjoy his favorite foods.

Jack's story is told in fun rhyme and accompanied by entertaining and

vibrant full-color illustrations. The book shows children that they are not

alone in their dietary restrictions and can feel better while still eating

good foods. "[i hope to] inspire children who have diets that restrict them

from eating anything with gluten (wheat, rye or barley) to live a happy

'normal' life," says Fine.

Fine holds a bachelor's degree in journalism and commercial art and an

MBA in computer resource and information management. She flew search and

rescue helicopters for the U.S. Navy for nine years and remains active in

the Navy Reserve as a lieutenant commander. The inspiration for this book

arose when Fine's oldest son was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2003.

Since then, she has conducted extensive research to learn more about how to

help educate young children on how they can live a normal life. She is very

involved with children's activities due to her two young sons and four

nieces, including reading to her sons' preschool and nursery classes and

volunteering with classroom activities. Fine is an avid writer and has been

published in several trade magazines and newsletters. "How I Eat Without

Wheat" is her first children's book. More information is available at

I am supposed to be recieving a copy of this book and I will post a review and let ya all know what I think of it!!

I love that there is another kids book on celiac. I hope it is a good one.

I love Eating Gluten Free with Emily. It is a cute book, geared more twards K-3rd grade. This new book sounds like it is geared to younger ones...toddlers.

Has anyone had a chance to read it yet? I'd love to hear other opinions.

I recieved my copy of the book today. I thought it was pretty good. I would not say it is geared twards toddlers as I previously thought. It has some large words for younger children, they may not understand the idea that is being portrayed. Another downside is that they only mention wheat, rye, and barley..........and leave out oats. I would have liked to have seen oats included because there is so much research yet to be done on that subject.

On the positive......the illustrations are cute and bright colored. Kids would really like them. I like that it has some rhyming words so the text flows. The book does a good job of breaking the information down so little ones can understand it. Overall I think it is a good book. If you have little ones, it would be a great bedtime story :)

I have a copy of the book and it just fabfabfab! The pictures are bright, colorful and just sweet as can be. The text is wonderfully easy for a child to understand. It is a perfectl little helper for children. They can understand what they have to go through or what their friends and siblings are dealing with. I think it is a must have for any bookshelf! Heck, I don't have children and I wanted a copy.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
