Here is what Elizabeth Redmond had to say about the book, "The Gluten Effect".

"I found the book really informative.

The Gluten Effect by Drs Vikki and Richard Petersen, offers a comprehensive review of gluten intolerance. The book does a thorough job of explaining the wide reaching health effects of reaction to gluten, its relationship to autoimmune diseases, and incidence of associated nutrient deficiencies. Even as a clinical educator who researches the literature on gluten enteropathy regularly, I learned many new things when reading this book. The effects of gluten are on a continuum, they are not black or white, as has been commonly believed. This book offers sound guidance to clinicians treating patients who fall in conventional medicine's "grey area;" that is, patients who have a clinical and laboratory response to gluten, but do not meet the currently accepted criteria for celiac disease. The recommendations in this book could significantly improve your gluten-sensitive patient's health."
