Book description
Celiac Disease For Dummies
is the ultimate reference for people with the disease and their family
members. The book helps readers identify symptoms of the disease, and
explains how doctors definitively diagnose celiac disease. It outlines
how celiac disease affects the body, and what its consequences could be
if untreated. The authors explain how celiac disease is treated, not
only through the elimination of gluten from the diet, but with
additional nutritional measures and alternative and complementary
therapies. Written by two practicing physicians, the book also offers
practical, helpful guidance for parents of children with celiac disease,
whose treatment may be a particular challenge. Ian Blumer
, MD, is a specialist in internal medicine in Ontario, Canada and has an
appointment with the University of Toronto. Dr. Blumer lectures across
North America and appears regularly on television, radio, and other media.
Sheila Crowe, MD, is a professor of medicine at the University
of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia, specializing in digestive
diseases including celiac disease. Dr. Crowe is named in "Best
Doctors in America."
