The First Year: Celiac Disease and Living Gluten Free
The First Year: Celiac Disease and Living Gluten Free
DESCRIPTION
If you've just been diagnosed with celiac disease, you're not alone: as many as 1 in 133 Americans have this autoimmune disorder characterized by an inability to digest gluten, a protein found in wheat and other grains.
For ten years, Jules Shepard's gastrointestinal symptoms went misdiagnosed. Finally diagnosed, she experienced a rollercoaster of emotions and illness the year following, as she discovered what she could and could not eat through trial and error.
Now, in The First Year: Celiac Disease and Living Gluten-Free, Shepard explains everything you need to learn and do upon your or a family member's diagnosis with celiac disease or transition to living gluten free for other health reasons.
Some of the topics covered in this seminal book:
- How celiac disease affects your entire body
- Eating gluten-free (and avoiding hidden glutens)
- Keeping your kitchen safe from cross-contamination
- Can I drink alcohol?
- Celiac and fertility
- Finding support groups
- Parenting a child with celiac disease
- Dining out, traveling, and entertaining
- Handling the holidays
This unique guide prioritizes all the most important information on diet and lifestyle changes for you. Day-by-day, week-by-week, month-by-month, learn how to safely alter your diet, manage your symptoms, and adjust to living gluten-free. Complete with easy and delicious recipes for gluten-free baking, The First Year: Celiac Disease and Living Gluten-Free is your essential guide to a healthy life.
