From the Author

"Its hard to believe that up to 92% of people with celiac disease don't heal on the conventional gluten-free diet. This shocking statistic is rarely discussed in the gluten-free community. However, it is well known that celiac disease patients continue to experience a decreased quality of life even after taking gluten out of their diet, and that they can continue to be plagued by a whole host of symptoms and complaints, many even life-threatening if left unchecked.
Sadly, many take it as gospel that if they have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, they are destined to suffer in one capacity or another for the rest of their lives. I don't believe it has to be this way. Celiacs and gluten sensitive people should be able to achieve optimal health again, if they do the diet the right way."
