Description: According to the National Institutes of Health, three million Americans suffer from celiac disease, the most severe form of gluten intolerance. Living gluten-free means having to give up traditional bread, beer, pasta, as well as the foods where gluten likes to hide-such as store-bought ice cream, chocolate bars, even nuts that might have been dusted with flour. However, Gluten-Free Girl shows readers how to say yes to the foods they can eat. This smart and indispensable book is written by award-winning blogger Shauna James Ahern, a reformed processed-food eater who had to transform her diet when she was diagnosed with celiac disease. Enlivened with funny accounts of the author's own experiences, the book guides readers to the simple pleasures of eating healthful food that is full of flavor. Even readers who can eat gluten will find connections with this book. Part memoir, part advice, and all inspiring, it includes dozens of great recipes.--Publisher description.
