Are you looking for a complete gluten free diet nutrition guide? When my daughter was diagnosed as gluten intolerant a few years ago, I was completely at a loss for what to cook. Just about all of my favorite recipes contained gluten and I had no idea what to cook any longer. It felt like I was making the same dishes over and over again because I had no idea what to cook. I received a book for review. This post contains affiliate links, and I will receive compensation if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.

Complete Gluten Free Diet Nutrition Guide has a 30-day meal plan and over one hundred different gluten free recipes. For those that aren’t familiar with celiac disease, there is a really helpful chapter in the beginning of the book that explains exactly what it is and how it effects your body. This is a really fantastic, in-depth chapter that includes symptoms, causes, anatomy, gluten intolerance, diagnosis methods and a blank health chart and diet diary to use to record your information.
The next chapter is an in depth look at foods that do and do not contain gluten.

And, it has some great tips for gluten free shopping as well. It even gives you an aisle by aisle breakdown! It offers nutrition breakdowns for a variety of gluten free flours and other staples. Because many people who are gluten intolerant are also lactose intolerant, the book also contains information on lactose-free products. It’s loaded with gluten free nutrition facts.

I want to go gluten free and find the whole thing overwhelming. This sounds like it would be a really good starting point.
