In fact, I think there's a lot of good information in there.<br /><br />My criticisms are with the way the publisher has marketed this book as some sort of fad diet book, when in fact, there are serious health problems that can develop if someone with undiagnosed celiac disease or gluten intolerance chooses this "G-free" (hate that phrase), aka gluten-free diet without first going to their doctor. Right now celiac disease can only be detected if a person is ingesting gluten and the effects are seen in the blood and gut.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10211857370548116268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889046160451485982.post-20711902133147899692012-01-20T12:28:10.973-05:002012-01-20T12:28:10.973-05:00Good grief!

The picture on the cover, so what, most of us need to loose weight anyway, and I ususally loose if I don't eat all those delicious breads. There is so much food and choices to eat gluten free or any other way, that getting mad about a picture on a cover is silly to me...Marianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889046160451485982.post-90200639409877721302009-06-08T00:08:18.784-04:002009-06-08T00:08:18.784-04:00I agree with you--why make it seem like such a dep...I agree with you--why make it seem like such a deprivation for those of us who are gluten intolerant and celica, by making that bread look so lucious?

And changing to gf makeup and shampoos improved my symptoms significantly so I think all her advice is really valid. I also avoid grain alcohol (like Elisabeth does) because 1 sip makes me feel weird, yet I can drink potato vodka with no issues, so why take stupid risks?From Fatigued to Fatigueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10228192098077209888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889046160451485982.post-70174697420570877302009-05-21T12:08:33.506-04:002009-05-21T12:08:33.506-04:00Thanks for trying it for all of us!Thanks for trying it for all of us!jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02193082300811955905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889046160451485982.post-49674874200389238602009-05-18T09:28:00.000-04:002009-05-18T09:28:00.000-04:00Rachel

Glad you actually read the book and tried to give it a fair review. Also like that you pointed folks to another book.

Her "celebrity" notwithstanding, I was happy that you suggested a more helpful volume for people who suspect or have diagnosed with this challenge.Arlene Dellorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06077411606585700138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889046160451485982.post-89661162309326581002009-05-17T13:40:00.000-04:002009-05-17T13:40:00.000-04:00hi rachel,
