Coping with Coeliac Disease (Overcoming Common Problems)
by Karen Brody

Coeliac Disease is a digestive problem caused by gluten intolerance, which makes the body unable to digest everyday foods, such as anything containing wheat. More and more people are being diagnosed. Symptoms include serious weight loss, pain, fatigue and depression. But there is good news - many people report enormous improvements as a result of following a gluten-free diet. The book gives the whole picture. It explains what coeliac disease is, why it happens and what can trigger it. It sets out the diet, including simple nutritional recipes and expert nutritional advice.

Karen Brody is a freelance writer who writes mostly on health issues. She has been a student at the National Gourmet Cookery School in New York, where she studied the relationship between food and healing and how to cook for special diets.

Living with Food Intolerance

Food intolerance is far more common than food allergy, with which it is often confused. Intolerance, which can stem from staples in the western diet such as wheat and dairy products, provokes various adverse reactions ranging from tummy upsets and rashes to tiredness and migraine. Unlike allergies, however, intolerance can often be managed by cutting down on foods or avoiding them for a while, rather than excluding them permanently.

This book covers:
what food intolerance is and isn't
types, symptoms and causes of intolerance
how to seek an accurate diagnosis
the most common culprit foods
living with and recovering from your intolerance

Understanding, Preventing and Overcoming Osteoporosis

Understanding, Preventing and Overcoming Osteoporosis

£17.35

1 per pack

(Code: 1070)

This important book explodes the calcium myth. The orthodox medical view is that there is no single cause of osteoporosis - yet great emphasis is put on the need to fortify oneself with calcium by consuming dairy produce in order to prevent or overcome the condition. However, countries with the highest consumption of dairy produce also have the highest bone fracture rate. Professor Jane Plant and Gill Tidey document scientific evidence showing that dairy produce, especially cheese, is actually damaging to those suffering from bone diseases, including osteoporosis, as it acidifies the body so that calcium is actually leached from the bones. They believe that the key to overcoming and preventing osteoporosis is the alkaline/acidity ratio of our diet, and provide lots of easy-to-follow advice and recipes to make it easy for you to alter your diet.
