Description - Coeliac Disease by Alex Gazzola
Coeliac disease (CD) is an auto-immune disease caused by intolerance to gluten, found in wheat, rye and barley. In New Zealand it is estimated that coeliac disease affects up to 1 in 100 of the population, many of these people will be undiagnosed. This new edition is an invaluable guide to those who have just been diagnosed with CD, or who are going through the diagnostic process. It has been thoroughly updated in line with 2014 food labelling laws. It also covers the controversial issue of FODMAPS, a type of carbohydrate common in foods that are difficult to digest. Topics include:
• tests and diagnoses
• food sense – labelling and shopping
• diet and nutrition
• health issues
• emotional wellbeing
• children and family
• research and future therapies
• further help and resources, including gluten-free food sources.
