具体描述

If you’ve just been diagnosed with celiac disease, you’re not alone: as many as 1 in 133 Americans have this autoimmune disorder characterized by an inability to digest gluten, a protein found in wheat and other grains. For ten years, Jules Shepard’s gastrointestinal symptoms went misdiagnosed. Finally diagnosed, she experienced a rollercoaster of emotions and illness the year following, as she discovered what she could and could not eat through trial and error. Now, in The First Year®: Celiac Disease and Living Gluten-Free , Shepard explains everything you need to learn and do upon your or a family member’s diagnosis.

- How celiac disease affects your entire body

- Eating gluten-free (and avoiding hidden glutens)

- Keeping your kitchen safe from cross-contamination

- Can I drink alcohol?

- Celiac and fertility

- Parenting a child with celiac disease

- Dining out, traveling, and entertaining
