About this ebook
From Dr. Peter H.R. Green, internationally renowned expert on celiac disease and director of the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University, and medical writer Rory Jones, this is the definitive book on celiac disease, one of the most underdiagnosed autoimmune diseases in the U.S.
Do you suffer from gastrointestinal complaints, fatigue, headaches, joint pain, anemia, and/or itchy skin conditions? Have you consulted numerous doctors, and been prescribed drugs and diets that have only temporarily alleviated some symptoms? If so, you may have celiac disease, a hereditary autoimmune condition that affects nearly one in every hundred people—97 percent of whom remain undiagnosed and untreated.
The real answer to your medical problems may lie in this book. Dr. Green, together with Rory Jones, an accomplished medical writer who was diagnosed with the disease in 1998 and has been researching it ever since, have written this authoritative guide on how celiac disease is properly diagnosed, treated, and managed. The disease is triggered by gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley, which damages the lining of the small intestine so that it cannot properly absorb food. Without essential nutrients, the entire body begins to suffer. Complications from celiac disease can include infertility, depression, liver disease, other autoimmune diseases (such as type 1 diabetes and thyroid disease), and even cancer. This is a disease that you do not outgrow. At present, the only way to treat it is to follow a lifelong gluten-free diet.
This revised and updated edition contains the most current information on celiac disease, gluten intolerance, and gluten sensitivity. It examines the disease’s many manifestations and includes an entire section devoted to coping with the psychological aspects of living with a chronic illness and following a gluten-free diet. It also includes a guide to ingredients and safe grains, a selection of gluten-free manufacturers, and a list of national and international support groups.

Reviews for Celiac Disease (Newly Revised and Updated)
19 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An outstanding book. It goes over the disease in detail, in language that a layperson can understand. It covers other related conditions and autoimmune diseases, explains thoroughly the pathology of the disease, plus nearly half the book devoted to expert advice on the gluten-free diet. It is a must-have book if you or someone in your family has celiac disease.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Best book on this condition I have read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is for the "revised and updated" edition, updated in 2010.
I was just diagnosed with celiac and my mom (who also has celiac) said this was a bit like the celiac bible. So I got it and read it. It has lots of good information though I do wish it would be updated - there have been a lot of advances in the past four years and I'd like to read more about those - but the basics of the disease have not changed so this isn't that dated on most accounts. I could do without the large blocks of celiac-adjacent-autoimmune disease information but I imagine it would be good for others as my experience with celiac is outside of the norm.
