Healthier Without Wheat: A New Understanding Of Wheat Allergies, Celiac Disease, And Non-Celiac Gluten Intolerance (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
This is a really good book. While I've already read several other books on the topic of celiac and gluten intolerance, this book had some new information that I hadn't previously heard about. The biggest things I learned were:About the various tests that are available for gluten intolerance and celiac. While I already knew about some of them, this book largely expanded on them.About the various forms of gluten intolerance, and allergies as well as wheat allergies and the differences between them.I highly recommend this book if you have or think you have a gluten intolerance or wheat allergy. I have read a lot of books about the gluten-free diet, and this is my favorite book on the topic by far. It's the most thorough and accurate (and least depressing) book that I could find. I found the historical overview about wheat in the Western diet very interesting. Wangen is also the only doctor I know (I also met him back in '09) who supports experimenting with the gluten-free diet if testing is not readily possible, which is what I did, thankfully. I will never know if I have Celiac Disease, but that is fine with me because I've done what Wangen foremost recommends--I chose to my health into my own hands. What helpful encouragement that was for me at such a crucial point in my life!
