Gluten Free for Life! (Second Edition) A Guide to Celiac Disease: Making sense of gluten intolerance and coping with the symptoms of celiac (coeliac) disease in adults and children.

A NEW, UPDATED EDITION OF CAROLINE RUSSELL'S AMAZON No. 1 BEST SELLER!*

It often surprises, or even shocks people to find that up to one per cent of the population suffers from celiac disease (called coeliac disease in the U.K. and Australia). Many sufferers of this disorder are unaware of it and do not understand why they always feel in poor health.

Affecting the digestive system, celiac disease is an inherited, permanent and chronic autoimmune disorder which causes the body to attack itself, but the wide and confusing range of symptoms associated with it means that an accurate diagnosis is difficult and often missed, making this disorder a ‘hidden disease'.

There is only one effective treatment of celiac disease and that is the strict adherence to a gluten-free diet.

Gluten Free for Life! by Caroline Russell, (second edition).

In this new, updated edition of her authoritative book Gluten Free for Life! Caroline builds on the information set out in her original work, updating and greatly expanding her text with new research, describing the latest findings and practices.

Divided into three sections, the first part gives an overview of the disease, explaining and helping the reader to understand the differences between allergies, intolerances and celiac disease and why the three terms are often wrongly confused with each other.

Also in this section Caroline describes many of the signs and symptoms associated with the disease, and includes a chapter on the effects of celiac disease on children.

Part Two: ‘Diagnosis and Treatment,’ describes various tests, including genetic and antibody blood tests, currently available to verify the diagnosis of the disease.

Part Three gives sound advice on coping with the disorder in everyday life. Having earlier explained the devastating effects of gluten on the celiac disease sufferer, Caroline shows just how prevalent gluten is in everyday life, where it can be found and, most importantly, how to avoid it.

Changing to a gluten-free diet involves a huge lifestyle adjustment and Caroline guides the reader through the many pitfalls that can trap the unwary sufferer, helping them to become better informed about making healthy food choices while grocery shopping and in the preparation of foods to manage their new diet.

Finally, there is a small selection of gluten-free recipes which may serve to whet the appetite of the newly-diagnosed reader proving that the gluten-free diet does not have to be bland or uninteresting!
