The essential diet and recipe guide.
Coeliac disease is triggered by gluten in grains like wheat, barley, rye and triticale. It isn't rare. It is the most common and one of the most under-diagnosed hereditary autoimmune diseases. There is no cure. You don't outgrow it. People with coeliac disease MUST eat a gluten-free diet for the rest of their lives.
But although the gluten-free diet is a lifesaver, if not well planned it can be an unhealthy diet due to the absence of grain foods and the higher fat and sugar content of many gluten-free products. And all too often it's high GI because slowly digested staples for the rest of us such as wheat-based low GI breads and breakfast cereals, pasta, and traditional oats have to be eliminated.
This book is a practical guide written by experts to show how to combine a gluten-free diet with the lifelong health benefits of low GI eating.
