I've just recently gone gluten free and feel so much better. :) Thank you so much for this forum and all the contributions - I've spent quite a lot of time already browsing through all the info here and it's been soooo useful! Great to feel that I'm not alone with this.

I'm thinking of buying a book on gluten intolerance and I'm wondering what people recommend. I live in the UK so that narrows it down a bit. Has anyone read Gluten Free for Dummies? Any other suggestions?

PS Please feel free to point me to the right thread if this has been covered before! I had a look in the publications bit, but that seems to be research and papers.

Here you go, hon...we were just discussing books in this thread...

:)

If you use the "search the forum via google" --it's up the top?--you can find what you may be looking for.

Yes, Danna Korn's book Living Gluten Free for Dummies is very helpful!

Best wishes!

I liked "Celiac: The First Year."

Can't remember the author and I'm too lazy at the moment to go upstairs and check. A woman, though.

I also liked Gluten Free for Dummies (as mentioned above.)

Gluten Free for Dummies is a good book. Celiac Disease, A Hidden Epidemic by Dr. Peter Green is a bit more technical. I have just finished reading Healthier Without Wheat by Dr. Stephen Wangen which I found very helpful. It addresses not only celiac, but also non-celiac gluten intolerance, which is where some of us are.

Let me remind you to be careful with the information from some of the books. Some of it is out of date or just plain wrong. You ight want to check more than one source, especially on the DO NOT EAT lists.

Hi folks, thank you for the recommendations and advice. :) I had a look at the other thread on books too. I've ordered the Dummies book, but yes, I'll be careful with the info.

One thing I'm learning is that although we all have one thing in common on this forum, to a certain extent each person has to find their own way as we all vary so much. I started keeping a diary of symptoms about a year ago, which made me feel like a bit of a hypochondriac, but it's really useful for looking back over and seeing what has made a difference.

I found a book called "The Autism and ADHD Diet" by Barrie Silberberg to be very informative, a quick read, from my local library. It amazing that there is likely a gluten link to autism and so many other conditions. It makes many of the gluten withdrawal symptoms make so much more sense...

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia thank you for your reply and the link, that is very helpful to get a visual of just how small of an amount can cause a reaction.

      This Common Blood Pressure Drug Can Mimic Celiac Disease Symptoms

      Dang. I had a moment of hope that I could change my BP med and get off the gluten-free diet. Nope. More seriously, I hadn't seen this articles about this phenomenon before. This is one of the possible answers for people who post here about having celiac symptoms (including biopsy) but normal IgA levels, especially if they are saying that diet isn't helping...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      oops. I didn't see that before posting or I would have at least referenced it. The two recipes are pretty similar, but I think the newer one is a little simpler/faster. Next time though I will search more before posting.

I know I am not consuming gluten or coming into contact with gluten from any other source. I will stop touching/tossing bread outside! My diet has not changed, and I do not have reactions to the things I am currently eating, which are few in number. My auto immune reaction just seems so severe. The abdominal pain is extreme. It takes a lot out of me. I guess I will be this way for the rest of my life if I ever happen to come into contact with gluten? I appreciate the help.

I also did have implants ( I didn't know and sense not properly in my medical. Neither did surgeon)in 2006 and there was a leak 2023 during the same time I was dealing with covid, digestive issues, eyes and skin.Considering I " should  be fine" not consuming gluten/wheat, taking vitamins for sibo and STILL feeling terrible.It has to be parasites. I also take individual eye drops prescribed, could there be an issue there? Anyways my pcp thinks I need therapy because again they don't acknowledge my digestive issues because in my records it shows im fine, hintz the reason I had to go back to bay area hospital:(  I thought skin issues maybe sibo related but I feel and have seen and seriously trying not to think about it because it's disgusting.

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
