The G-Free Diet by Elisabeth Hasselbeck: Review Recommends Gluten Free Book

The G-Free Diet A Gluten-Free Survival Guide is Elisabeth Hasselbeck's journey from health to pain to recovery on a gluten-free diet after she discovered she has celiac disease, a gluten intolerance. As they say, "I fell your pain." I did, literally, feel that pain and had no idea what was making me sick to my stomach. Like Hasselbeck mine was a journey of discovery,

When I read The G-Free Diet, I was already trying to live gluten-free, had already used available resources to discover many pitfalls of trying to live such a diet. Hasselbeck's book is not just another book for those with celiac disease or a gluten intolerance, not just another resource on gluten-free living. And not just a personal journey to freedom from the pain of celiac disease.

In The G-Free Diet, Hasselbeck shares information on gluten, what it is, what foods it is in, how to avoid it at home, at parties, at restaurants, with some humorous personal anecdotes. Did you know gluten can even be in your medications? The G-Free Diet also has a chapter addressed to those who live with a person having celiac disease or gluten intolerance issues. In the back of The G-Free Diet, Hasselbeck included a card that can be pulled out and shown to restaurant personal to help explain the problem of celiac disease or a gluten intolerance and how to best prepare gluten-free food.

The G-Free Diet, Hasselbeck provides a wealth of information and resources on celiac disease and gluten intolerance that may be found elsewhere, but not in this compact form and some information I'd never seen anywhere, information that helped me be more aware of "hidden" gluten sources..

I thought I had recently developed my gluten intolerance only to have my theory blown up with Hasselbeck's list of diseases that can result from gluten intolerance. Rheumatoid Arthritis was listed and took me back to when I was 13 and diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA), now also known as Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), that put me in a wheelchair for ten years. Was I gluten intolerant way back then, but unaware? How different might my life had been had my parents and the doctors then knew what many know now and changed my diet?

Hasselbeck's The G-Free Diet may just save individuals and families from suffering as I suffered and help many to a life-affirming health style.

I highly recommend The G-Free Diet to any who even suspect they, a loved one or acquaintance might be suffering from celiac disease or a gluten intolerance.
