Celiac Disease and Living Gluten-free

As many as 1 in 133 Americans has celiac disease (inability to digest gluten), but many don’t know it, as symptoms can mimic many conditions. Jules Shepard’s first year after diagnosis was a roller coaster of emotions and illness, discovering what she could and couldn’t eat through trial and error.

Since food is a component of nearly all social activities, living with celiac disease requires significant lifestyle changes. Now, in The First Year®: Celiac Disease and Gluten Intolerance, Shepard explains everything you need to learn and do upon your or a family member’s diagnosis. Week by week, month by month, discover the questions to ask your doctor, how to identify symptoms, and how to change your diet. Complete with easy recipes, The First Year®: Celiac Disease and Gluten Intolerance is the essential guide to a healthy gluten-free life.
