I've been reading a fair number of books on how to cope with gluten intolerance in order to be able to safely prepare food and choose restaurants for my friends who have this problem, and it's been quite an education on the specifics of living gluten free and the challenges this poses! I especially love how this book was so detailed and scientific in its breakdown of how gluten works and what it truly means to not only live gluten free, but also how to do so in a healthy manner. It also corrected some of my misconceptions about what is safe to eat for people with gluten intolerance. For example, depending on the degree of damage to the gut, a person might have to go completely grain free for a time, which means you can't even eat brown rice. I also learned about a variety of wonderful gluten free foods that I want to add to my diet because they have many other health benefits, like Sorghum, an African gluten free grain that even makes a good beer! This is well researched and excellent resource for someone who is trying to cope with a gluten intolerance or who wants to make their house friendly to their guests who for whatever reason can't have gluten in their diet. Great Book!
