Alright, so I was given the Gluten Free Bible. I like it and I realize that some of the info is old. Then I read some of the reviews on Amazon, some of them are less than glowing. Any opinions from here?

Also any recommendations besides Celiac for dummies which is next on my list.

I liked that book. She was so upbeat and "can do" about living gluten-free. That said, I'm not sure that all of what she proposes is practical or doable....but I still enjoyed reading it.

The other books I've read are "Living Gluten Free for Dummies" - that's a great "primer" about going gluten-free. I read "Dangerous Grains" - eye opening; The Gluten Connection - useful nutritional info; and "Celiac Disease, A Hidden Epidemic" - everything you wanted to know about celiac disease. I enjoyed reading all of these and I got something different out of each book. Happy reading!

I need something that is going to help me prep for an everyday kitchen. I'm kind of stuck on what to have for lunches or snacks so far. Also my son for his school lunches this year.

Dawnsister,

The recipe section here has countless things to cook/prepare. Many are also children oriented. Check it out :D

Also check out www.laptoplunches.com--lots of good ideas there, most of which can easily be made gluten-free.

Of all the books I mentioned, the "Dummies" book would help the most. Danna Korn (author) is the mom of a celiac kid. I think she also has another book about raising a celiac kid....but I haven't read that one.

I was just talking to someone about gluten-free lunches and snacks - I'll throw a few ideas out there.

gluten-free bagel/cream cheese

sandwich on gluten-free bread

apples with peanut butter

celery with peanut butter

deli meat "roll ups" (ham or turkey rolled around juliened veggies or cheese)

hummus with gluten-free crackers or veggies'

egg salad or tuna salad with gluten-free crackers

wraps (made with brown rice wraps)

gluten-free pasta salad

yogurt

string cheese

cut up veggies

fruit

nuts

gluten-free bars (Enjoy Life, Envirokids, Larabars, etc.)

gluten-free "Chex Mix" (got that recipe from the Dummies book)

gluten-free crackers with peanut butter or cheese

fruit leather

gluten-free "trail mix" (nuts, raisins, choc. chips, etc.)

I hope that helps to get you started!

I think The Gluten Free Bible was a great book. Sure, some of the info is outdated, but the book is still great. You have to look at when the book was written to understand that sometimes it will be outdated, but there will still be very beneficial info within.

i thought the bible was great for introducing me into the lifestyle of a person w/ celiac. it is a good coping book, w/ just the right amount of humor.

my favorite book is Life Tastes Good Again, which is a cookbook you can buy from www.eatingglutenfree.com. I have yet to find a bad recipe there! The site has lots of great recipes too!! As does this place :D

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
