** spoiler alert ** I am only reading this book for the research since I'm all about the gluten free. So far I'm on chapter 4 and I have mixed feelings. I enjoy the information from Dr. Peter Green, but I want to smach Elisabeth Hasselbeck. She's such an idiot.

Prime example: She is crippled over in pain everyday to the point where she has to pull over to the side of the road while driving. She's seeing a holistic doctor and they are about to eliminate wheat from her diet and instead she auditions for Survior. Um...I'm sorry, but if I were in such bad pain everyday (which I was) I would not be auditioning for a reality tv show where cameras are in your face 24/7. She is so vain.

Update...I did not finish this book. It was too hard to read through how much she "cheated" and didn't follow a 100% gluten free diet because she didn't want to believe she couldn't eat gluten. Having celiac disease for over 10 years, there has never been a time when I though "it's ok if I eat gluten" Never. I was too sick to even want to go near it. Clearly this book does not come from someone who is knowledgable in gluten free living, because they would never advise that it's "ok" to "cheat". She also includes a chapter on how to lose weight by eating gluten free. Right there she shows she is not serious about celiac and the importance of following a gluten free diet. So lose a few LBs is sick. It's people like her that make others (media included) think that a gluten free diet is a fad.

Not recommended.
