Got this in my email today. Maybe gluten-free is going the way of Atkins, like a few years ago?! Hey, anything that makes people more aware and maybe new gluten-free food to try for us!

My one gripe is that this Shari Lieberman is trying to make money off of people with celiac. Is there really any information in her book that you can't get for free on celiac.com and other similar sites?

Yeah, I do think she's trying to cash in a bit too much. But I still have a soft spot in my heart for Shari Lieberman, because her book was the first thing I read about Celiac and GI... and it made me want to research and find out more.

She also has info about stool testing, which I think is a good thing.

It is an excellent book and really shows people that gluten can cause a ton of illnesses, not just gastro symptoms. It is different from any other books on gluten I have read.

BUT I can buy her book from amazon for Can $14.42 plus shipping, which is half of what she wants for it on her website. Meaning, that her so-called free books aren't so free after all, you certainly are paying for them if you buy the book from her.

The only way the bonuses are free is, if you send the book back after ordering it, in which case you keep them.

I don't know anything about Shari Lieberman, but it seems to me that the criticism that she is trying to make money off of people with celiac is a bit unfair. Every book about the disease in the bookstore and every product available in the market place that declares itself to be gluten free is making money off of people with celiac for either the book author or the food manufacturer - never mind all the industries associated with marketing either. The people who advertise on this forum - and Scott who runs it - are making money off people with celiac. The doctors who treat you (well or poorly) and the labs who run your tests are all making money off of people with celiac. Restaurants who cater to gluten free needs are making money off of people with celiac. The list goes on and on and on.

Why pick on Shari Lieberman?

Good point.

Yes, HBM, very good point...and if this gets the word out to more people who can benefit, all the better.

I think it's a good thing :)

I think we only look at it from the point of view of someone who already knows they have a gluten issue--I remember when I first read an article that mentioned Celiac, at the time having no idea what it was--that was what led me to ask my doctor about it.

It's not really a book for us, but something that could help those out there who are sick and don't know why....

I agree with jerseyangel. I took a quick look at the website. The book intended for people who are not already diagnosed and are searching for a reason they are sick.

Since only a small percent of people with Celiac are diagnosed the book may assist some people in regaining their health. Although, I am concerned that some people will give up the gluten free diet too soon. The website says "Set yourself free in 2 weeks" I responded that quickly to the gluten free diet but I know not everyone does.

Just for the record, I wasn't criticizing her for selling her book - she has the same right as everybody else to sell the books she writes! I just don't like that she charges more than twice of what you pay for her book elsewhere. If she would come right out with saying that if you pay another $15.00 you get three more books, that would be more honest, in my opinion.

But it definitely is a good book.

Damn. It reads like a snake oil advertisement. That's the last thing I need, is someone thinking this is just another fad diet I'm on. It's hard enough as it is to get people to understand why crumbs scare me.

I don't know. I tend to think it's a bad thing, but maybe if it raises awareness some good will come of it.

The first thing I do when I come across a new book lik this is to get it out from my local library.

Then after reading it if I think it is worthwhile I will buy it.

If you have read this book or others like it, I think it would be a good idea to post a review with your opinions. I value the opinions of members here more than reviewers in magazines or newspapers.

Cheers

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
