Book Suggestion?

[digerati]

I recently diagnosed myself with celiac disease, and in talking to my uncle, i discovered that he had been dx about 20 years ago, and that i'm the sixth person in my family to have it. He's still having problems with his, though, like major stomach pains and skin problems.

His wife told me that "he doesn't eat too much bread, but he likes his cookies". It's sounding to me that they haven't done any reading up on this condition other than what the doc told them 20 years ago.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a recent book that describes the symptoms as well as the risks of celiac disease? They're leaving the country tomorrow (!) so I'd like to get a book this afternoon and send it with them.

Thanks!

I liked "Dangerous Grains". Talked about Gluten sensitivity on through to Celiac Disease. I made my entire family gluten free after reading the compelling facts about gluten. Most here would recommend Danna Korn's book, Wheat Free, Worry Free. I haven't read it.

I also highly recommend "Wheat Free, Worry Free" by Danna Korn. It may be in stock in some books stores, guess you'd have to call. I bought it off of amazon. You could also to the Univ of Chicago and print of their new Celiac fact sheets to give to them, in case you can't find a book. There is some good info on the sheets.

Wheat-Free, Worry-Free by Danna Korn. Definitely. Dangerous Grains is good, too, but I like the former.
