"Wheat Belly Cookbook"

[ElsieD]

I see that this cookbook continues to trend high on Amazon Canada. Does anyone have it? Is it any good?

I just got it out of the library yesterday and have started to read it.  I'm not Celiac by any means, but who knows about that intolerance which so many people have and their health is much improved by giving up wheat.  

 

Have you read it?  Do you have any thoughts about it?

If there is anything noteworthy, please do share.

 

With a 5 year old with Celiac disease, I have had to drastically change how and what I cook, so always open to new and interesting ideas!

Are you familiar with Shauna Ahern's books?  example https://www.amazon.com/Gluten-Free-Girl-Found-Food-Loves/dp/0470411643 I don't have the issue nor does anyne I know but she is an excellent writer and an amazing lady. This is not food but it is really good https://diannej.com/2019/after-food-blogging-gluten-free-girls-shauna-ahern-says-enough/

I have the book but not the cookbook. After I learned I was diagnosed with gluten sensitivity (actual lab test), about 4½ years ago, I bought some cookbooks, but now that I've learned how to adapt, I hardly ever refer to them. These are the ones still on my shelf: 

Artisan Gluten-Free Bread in Five Minutes a Day 

The How Can It Be Gluten-Free Cookbook, Volume 1 and Volume 2

No, I never did get the book.

wheat belly is, like many of these books, based on faulty science, whether that's on purpose or out of ignorance, i couldn't say.
