Living Gluten-free Answer Book

My doctor recently made a case for me to try a gluten free diet. I tested negative for celiac but she thinks I have a gluten sensitivity nonetheless. The idea of changing to gluten free seemed daunting and I resisted the attempt until I started reading this excellent book by Susanne Bowland. Bowland has thoroughly researched the topic of gluten free living and presents a wide variety of indpeth information in a well organized easy to read book. She cites resources galore and the index is extremely helpful as well. Bowland makes an effective and convincing case that, going gluten free is about the abundance of new foods (as well as medicines & cosmetics) to try rather than about denial. Like many things in life, success is predicated on attitude. My own experience validates Bowland's statement that if you feel much better, then sticking to a gluten free diet is not very difficult to do - especially with the help of this book! Beyond opening the reader's horizons to new taste treats, Bowland also provides useful nutritional information as well as hints on successful food preparation, baking, and dining out. This book is a FANTASTIC resource, a kind of "bible" for gluten free living. Bowland knows what she is talking about.
