Book Reviews of Celiac Disease: A Hidden Epidemic
Book Review: Dr. Peter Greene - So much needed knowledge, clearly written
Summary: 5 Stars
Dr. Greene's book on Celiac disease is the absolute best on facts and understanding about the symptoms and far reaching results of Celiac disease. It answers questions as to childhood problems that I never associated with my problems. It gives medical terms and diagrams that I "slept through" in health class. It is must reading for anyone who may be suffering from an undiagnosed digestive condition or those under the care of a physician unfamiliar with Celiac disease. It clearly outline the proper tests needed, as well as the proper care that must ensue. We have shared this book with several "suspects", and they, too, have found it to be understandable and informative. Dr. Greene unveils much needed knowledge in his clear writing style.

Book Review: This is the book people with celiac disease have been waiting for
Summary: 5 Stars
I am an annual attendee at Dr. Green's seminars at Columbia University dealing with Celiac Disease. I sent in a letter after the 2005 Patient Education Day seminar offering not only raves about the spectacular quality of the seminars but also some suggestions about how to take the complicated technical material and make it more "user-friendly". This book does exactly that. It is easy reading, interesting, and offers a celiac patient a never ending series of "ah hahs" as the reader matches his personal experiences to the information in the book. This is a five-star book that every celiac patient, every person who cares about a celiac patient, and every doctor who treats a celiac patient should not only own but should read and re-read.Book Review: Excellent Resourse
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent resource. I was diagnosed approximately 4 years ago. I've read almost all of the books written on the topic. This book stands out because it is written by a Doctor (instead of a nutritionist, like most books). It is also relatively current (copyright 2006?) Beware of older books, since the research on celiac changes almost daily.
This may book may seem overwhelming for someone newly diagnosed, but my sister (diagnosed 5 years ago) recently reread it and learned some new things (or things she had forgotten). It also "scares" me into staying on the diet, after reviewing the health risks associated with the disease. I've ordered 6 copies (5 hardcover and 1 kindle) because I keep giving mine away.
Book Review: A must read for anyone with intestinal mysteries
Summary: 5 Stars
The short check off list at the beginning that's a prelude is all that's needed to delve into this informative, well written, and easy to read book. Anyone searching for "what's wrong with me" and has gastric issues would benefit greatly from this book. Regardless of whether or not one is celiac, Dr. Green provides insight into how the intestinal system works, and why this disease goes undiagnosed in spite of its prevalence. The author strikes the right balance for the lay reader, and provides adequate information that may influence one to take charge in his/her overall medical treatment and diagnosis. The book is an excellent basis for further exploration and research concerning one's health.Book Review: Celiac questions answered here!
Summary: 5 Stars
What is Celiac and how do I live with it? How did I get it and is it catchy? I've been sick for years and no one ever mentioned this disease? Are there medications I could take? Is the blood test the only proof? Do I have to have a biopsy of my small intestine? Is this disease fatal? How do I change my diet? Can I ever go out to dinner in a restaurant?
If these questions are stressing you out, please read Dr. Green's book. In a very comforting, easy to understand manner he will answer all of your questions and you will feel capable of handling this disease. He calls this a hidden epidemic, and so it is, however, he is bringing it out to the light for all to see and understand and heal.
