Danna Korn

A few weeks ago I borrowed from the library this book, as we were not sure whether removing gluten from hubby's died would help the abdominal pains he was experiencing.

The blood test checking for the allergen markers were negative, but we decided to experiment with the diet in case there was any improvement.

In this case there was no improvement and hubby had his gallbladder removed last week.

This book was a really great, informative and yet easy to read book. Aimed at the UK market show more specifically, it discussed the amounts of items available to Coeliac patients on prescription and included details and recipes.

Having Coeliac disease is not just a condition or diet. It is a way of life that does take considerable getting use to and adjustment. Should hubby have been diagnosed with Coeliac Disease I would have had no hesitation in buying this book. show less

Purchased from Amazon, and read when I learned I had allergies to grains. Korn provides clear explanations of the gluten-free lingo, including background on the history of man's diet and how grains came into play.

With a can-do attitude, the book covers a wide range of information in chapters on alternative foods, how to handle eating out, feeding allergic children nutritious and delicious meals, and shopping and cooking strategies.

Definitely a gem of a book to refer to often!

This is an excellent reference book for people who cannot eat gluten for whatever reason - whether Coeliac or it just makes you feel better.

Good for when you're first diagnosed. Then, move on to other things.
