Description

The everyday guide to understanding and treating Celiac disease
Celiac Disease For Dummies is the ultimate reference for people with the disease and their family members. The book helps readers identify symptoms of the disease, and explains how doctors definitively diagnose celiac disease. It outlines how celiac disease affects the body, and what its consequences could be if untreated. The authors explain how celiac disease is treated, not only through the elimination of gluten from the diet, but with additional nutritional measures and alternative and complementary therapies.

  • Also written by Ian Blumer: Diabetes for Canadians For Dummies and Understanding Prescription Drugs for Canadians For Dummies
  • Full of anecdotes and helpful tips, here is an invaluable guide to living with, and controlling, Celiac disease

Written by two practicing physicians, the book also offers practical, helpful guidance for parents of children with celiac disease, whose treatment may be a particular challenge.
