April’s light-hearted yet expert approach is completely engaging. After receiving a celiac diagnosis in 2011, April started her gluten free blog to share her journey, encourage others, and sometimes rant about “the ridiculousness of having a disease that is activated by a sandwich.”

Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with celiac disease?

A gluten sensitivity?

Perhaps you are suspecting a wheat allergy?

Have wanted to invite someone who is gluten-free over for dinner but are not sure what the “do’s and don’ts” are?

Have a co-working or church member that is gluten-free and want ideas?

Practicing a Paleo lifestyle?

Or, maybe you have just discovered that you feel better and have decided to try this gluten-free lifestyle out.

The book will help you navigate the switch to gluten-free, including how to shape up your pantry, discover foods that will make you feel like you aren’t missing out, and provide a primer on gluten-free baking secrets.

While I am personally no longer gluten-free or dairy-free ever since my doctor figured out I was only deficient in amino and linoleic acids that break down proteins, my husband and I mostly live a gluten-free life. I discovered that my taste buds retrained themselves and, well, I don’t miss it. What a surprise to realize that!

I asked April what was the most surprising thing she learned from going gluten free. She said, “I was most surprised about how emotionally attached I had previously been to bread and similar products. While I don’t even use bread when I have a burger or some kinds of sandwiches anymore (I feel like it just gets in the way!), at first I felt like I was losing a friend when I waved goodbye to brioche.”

See, there is hope!

But first, you’ve got to get started.

This book is a good first step.

Eat well, my friend. Eat well.
