Summary:

In recent years, avoiding gluten has become a dieting fad, which has led to the spread of misinformation about celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. Many people are under the impression that these are not real issues, which leads to a lack of compassion and sometimes an unwillingness to make the necessary dietary accommodations for someone who has the disease. Enlightening charts, annotated quotes, full-color photographs, and in-depth sidebars give readers a thorough understanding of the effects of celiac disease and gluten sensitivity as well as how to support a loved one who is dealing with some degree of gluten sensitivity.
