From School Library Journal Green (director, Celiac Disease Ctr., Columbia Univ.) and Jones, a science writer and celiac disease patient, have added new information to this revised version of one of LJ's Best Consumer Health Books of 2006. The authors organize this edition the same way as the first, explaining the diagnosis, genetics, and possible complications, with seven chapters devoted to the gluten-free diet. Sections on the diagnosis and management of the disease are updated, and reports of more recent scientific research into a treatment or cure are included. There is a revised list of safe grains and ingredients and tips on reading labels as well as an expanded list of gluten-free product manufacturers. The 2006 edition, which has been a staple in library collections on celiac disease and gluten intolerance, is still a valuable resource worth keeping. This new edition is highly recommended for all libraries, even those that own the first edition.—Lisa Felix, Mishawaka-Penn-Harris P.L., IN Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Most Reliable Fact-filled Book re Celiac Disease!
Excellent book! I was diagnosed 9 mos ago with Celiac Dz and this has been my "bible" when it comes to getting my many questions answered. Unfortunately, I am one of the less than 10% of people with Celiac who happens to be affected with Dermatitis Herpatiformis and before I could get to the dermatologist, I had it pretty well diagnosed thru info this book contains. You will find out more about Celiac Disease by purchasing and reading this reliable, fact-filled book than you can ever imagine! Yes, I highly recommend this book to anyone with the disease or anyone who wants to find out more about this autoimmune disorder.

The Celiac's Must Have Bible!
Excellent book! Every Celiac should have it. Also some with other diseases that keep giving you trouble. This helps you learn how other diseases go in tandem with Celiac. I denied having Celiac because we were focuse on my EPI (Exocrine Pancreatitis Insuffiiciency) which was excruciating but kept happening. It was only when we discovered the celiac from a biopsy, were we able to control the EPI which goes in tandem quite a bit as do some other conditions. Now that I am treating the Celia, which is hidden but triggers other diseases, the other issues seem to be subsiding. Time will tell, so I am still being careful, but it is loaded with crucial information.

Great for someone newly diagnosed.
I purchased this book after being diagnosed with Celiac disease because I was feeling overwhelmed by all the information on the internet about Celiac and I wanted some helpful everyday information and tips on how to live in the real world with Celiac. This book was exactly what I had hoped it would be. I now have a game plan for what I will do when I travel to see family for Christmas and what to do about eating over at other peoples houses. It is not easy trying to explain to people why you cannot eat their home cooked meal, and this book helps give you some insight as to how to cope with such real life situations. I recommend this book for anyone newly or not so newly diagnosed with Celiac Disease. The author explains things in a very accessible way, especially for people who don't have a medical background.

Great resource for newly diagnosed
My toddler daughter was diagnosed 6 weeks ago with celiac disease (she also has type 1 diabetes) and I’ve sought additional information beyond the worksheets given to us from the pediatric gastroenterologist & nutritionist. This book is packed with all of the science and symptoms of celiac and even chapters on myths (extremely helpful given the excess of misinformation on the internet) and where to buy things in stores or online. I appreciate the way it’s written because it’s like an approachable doctor is giving you everything you need to know. Also given our circumstances I’m very appreciative of the chapter and other notes regarding type 1 and celiac. I would recommend this book to anyone diagnosed.

THIS IS THE BOOK TO READ if you want answers and understanding regarding CELIAC DISEASE.
If you or someone you know is looking for information about CELIAC DISEASE, this is the book. It is written CLEARLY and SIMPLY and is so well organized and understandable. It is written by the best of the best on the subject. Dr. Green, now in his 70's has been at this for YEARS and keeps opening new doors for investigation into this many faceted gastrointestinal issue. THIS IS THE BOOK. Trust this M.D. !! Great Book.

Really great look into Celiac disease and the most up-to-date science
Really great look into Celiac disease and the most up-to-date science. This book helped me understand the underlying physiology of the disease, which is invaluable. The last chapters in the book about lifestyle changes and tips were less compelling, but helpful for folks who are just diving in to living gluten free. If you have Celiac, or may have Celiac, or have family with it, I highly recommend this book as a resource.

Great resource if you are thinking you are celiac...and just as good after you get the diagnosis
Recent received diagnosis that I have the gene for celiac. Been having digestive issues for a while, finally got a functional medicine doctor that zeroed in on the issue pretty fast. This book is comprehensive on what to expect moving forward and for those that are wondering if they have celiac. I highly recommend

Very Well Presented
This is the third celiac book I have read since diagnosis and the best one so far. The authors do an excellent job of explaining what celiac is who gets it, and why it is difficult to get diagnosed. The information is presented clearly, in well-defined categories, and without resorting to jargon.Symptoms are described in great detail, with other possible diagnoses given for each. Unlike other books which essentially tried to pin every symptom known to man to gluten, this book offers much more balanced information.for those already diagnosed, there is much helpful information, including not only foods to avoid but much dispelling of myth about foods which are safe to eat despite common assumptions. The authors also discuss 'survival' strategies for coping with dietary limitations, what to do with celiac children, even the current state of celiac research.This book is an excellent resource and I ezxpect I will return to it many times.
