Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder of gluten intolerance that remains undiagnosed and untreated in nearly 97 percent of sufferers. Those affected experience gastrointestinal complaints, fatigue, headaches, joint pain, anemia, and itchy skin conditions, among other symptoms. Dr. Green explains the diagnosis, genetics, and possible complications—and presents the solution: a gluten-free diet.

With over 100,000 copies of the 2006 edition in print, this revised edition includes new information on gluten-free products and tips on managing one’s health.
