Helpful Score: 3

I recently was diagnosed with Celiacs after a horrible eight months of drastic weight loss, abdominal pain, hair loss, bone pain, inability to eat, weakness, tremors, elevated blood work - you name it! This is one of the first books I purchased. Dr. Green is one of the top Drs./researchers in the US for Celiac Disease. You would be surprised how many Drs. know so little about this disease. My own GI did not know the name of a nutritionist to send me to and only handed me a printout from the internet with information. Obviously, he is no longer my Dr. There are only a handful of research/medical centers in the US specifically dedicated to Celiac research and Dr. Green is the Director of the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University Medical Center. The book addresses many of the misconceptions and confusing information that is floating around the web or even through many Drs. about the disease. It was great to have a definitive answer - especially if you are asymptomatic. I read this in a day and it helped me feel so much more confident and less scared in my diagnosis. I highly recommend.
