What They're Saying
Critics Review
Living Without, April/May 2009 “This easy read is an inspiration not just for celiacs but for anyone with food sensitivity.” Gluten Intolerance Quarterly, Spring 2009 “‘The First Year’ is such a practical, well-written guide to the disease and the gluten-free lifestyle that it should be a part of a starter kit that doctors give newly diagnosed patients.” About.com, 7/15/09 “A glossary, FAQ, gluten-free baking Q and A and an extensive list of Celiac support groups in the U.S. give readers the tools they need adapt to life without gluten. I highly recommend this book, not only for those newly diagnosed with Celiac disease but for anyone curious about this not so rare autoimmune, genetic disease.”
