    [synopsis] => The definitive and groundbreaking book on celiac disease that will help people to identify and understand the disease, as well as to learn to cope with it, and avoid further complications

In the U.S., one in every 133 people suffer from Celiac Disease (CD), and 97% of them are undiagnosed. In the case of CD, the body damages or destroys the very mechanism that enables us to digest food. The primary target of injury is the small intestine. The disease is triggered by gluten, the main protein found in wheat, rye and barley. Gluten damages the small intestine so that it is unable to properly absorb nutrients.

Until now, an authoritative and completely accessible guide to CD has never been available. In this user friendly guide, CD specialist Dr. Peter Green and writer Rory Jones help readers identify the symptoms, understand their diagnosis, and cope with the challenges of living with CD. Incredibly comprehensive, this book covers the disease from a medical, dietary, and psychological standpoint, covering all aspects of CD from the varied symptoms and proper diagnostic process to the many related conditions and specific diet. The book also includes appendices on related articles and books of interest, medical contact information, and a list national CD support groups.
