Living Gluten-free For Dummies

I wanted to purchase this book but the bookstore doesn't carry it yet. I can order it but I'd like to see it before I order it. I even checked the public library but still no luck there. I wouldn't want to buy it if it wasn't any good. Has anyone here read this book and is it worth ordering? Are their maybe other books you'd recommend instead? I did read the "Gluten-Free Kid" from the library which was really great from a basic point of view. Thanks for any advise!

It's a great book and it even has a few recipes to get you started. It's an easy read with tons of useful information. You can read excerpts at amazon .com. :)

I agree it is a great book! I'm so glad I read it! It helps to clear up the false information you can find on the internet :) I recommend it all the time!

I agree, it is a great book. It is one of the first books that I bought, plus it is spiked with a sense of humor which goes so far and is much needed at times! I bought mine at Barnes and Noble, and found it in the diet section.

AWESOME BOOK!!!!!! I bought it along with Celiac Disease: a hidden epidemic. It's cheaper if you go to amazon .com!!!

It's a good book - lots of tips. Another one that I would recommend is the Gluten Free Bible.

I have it and like it. There is an awesome recipe for "faux pho," which is a wonderful Thai/Vietnamese soup with chicken, shrimp, rice noodles, chicken broth, coconut milk, clam juice, fish sauce, curry,lime, ginger, etc. I was trying to figure out how to make that even before going gluten-free!

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.
