Summary
"Gluten Free for Life is the first book to apply social, cultural, and historical perspectives to celiac disease, a serious autoimmune condition affecting one percent of the population-three million Americans. Because celiac destroys the villi of the small intestine, it is considered gastrointestinal, but it can affect many of the body's systems. As a result, the symptoms are extremely various. The only therapy is life-long adherence to a gluten-free diet"-- Provided by publisher.
