Having the whole book about eating gluten-free is an amazing resource. I sure wish I had something like this 20 years ago when I had to start cutting out wheat and gluten- from my diet!

The first chapter starts out with the basics for example why go gluten-free? In my case, I already know; but you may wonder if you should go gluten-free, even if you have no real reason to do so. It also covers the basics of avoiding gluten, and some of the pitfalls you may need to avoid when cutting gluten out of your diet.

A separate section covers planning in preparing a gluten-free menu. At first, it seems like a very daunting task! As I discovered the hard way, and as it says in the book, this is easier than you think.

There is also a section about the gluten-free lifestyle. Eating out can be a real hassle when you’re trying to avoid gluten. For awhile, I found this so onerous, that I didn’t even bother. This is entirely unnecessary, and really isn’t that hard once you know a few things.

There is also a chapter about raising gluten-free kids, and another about the emotional obstacles to eliminating gluten in your diet.

If you’re just starting and gluten-free diet, you’ll find us a very useful book.

Another excellent resource is Allergy Details, a web site about allergies.
