Do you have health problems you haven't been able to solve? For millions of people, bread, pasta, and many other foods are bad for their health. But it can be difficult to figure out if this is what is causing your problem. And because most doctors simply aren't knowledgeable about celiac and non-celiac gluten intolerance, it is that much harder to get good information.
Healthier Without Wheat teaches you...

• How to find out if wheat or gluten is making you sick.
• Why this can be more difficult than it may appear.
• How hundreds of health problems are connected to wheat and gluten reactions.
• How you can be gluten intolerant even if you don't have celiac disease.
• Why non-celiac gluten intolerance can make you just as sick as celiac disease.
Also:
• How to determine if your infant or child reacts to wheat or gluten.
• Where gluten is hidden.
• Foods you can eat.
• What to do if you are avoiding gluten but not getting better.
• Nutritional deficiencies commonly seen in gluten intolerance.
• And much, much more.

"I have already shared your other book with many people. I look forward to reading this one too! Congrats on getting it published!"
- Rachel Carlyle-Gauthier, www.GlutenFreeMama.com

"Finally, a way to help one's Dr. understand the blood tests we ask for. And it is easy to comprehend! Thank you!"
- Susan Guetter

"Dr. Wangen’s concise and easy to understand manner will leave his readers with both an awareness of the bigger problem of gluten and how it could adversely be affecting their own lives and the lives of others."
- Foreword Magazine (Review March, 2009)

"Of the many books on celiac disease and gluten intolerance on the market today, this is one of the best for both patients and those in the medical field. Recommended for all libraries."
- Library Journal

"Once I got started, I couldn't put it down! Congratulations. It's elegently written - you have a nice easy style (without ever 'dumbing it down') and the book is so well organized that everthing just leads logically from one topic to the next. I think this is part of the reason why having got started on it, I was eager to read 'one more chapter'. ... I've never seen this whole gluten intolerance thing explained so well. Nor did I realize it was quite so widespread. (As a celiac, one tends to think one is the only one with problems!) Your analysis of the various testing methods is a gem. ... I thoroughly enjoyed the whole book and will no doubt find many occasions to refer back to it."
- Penelope Rosse (co-author of "Hollinshead's Textbook of Anatomy" and "McMinn's Functional and Clinical Anatomy")

"This heavily referenced handbook is a welcome support for patients suffering the many silent and subtle or overt and often debilitating effects of the gluten syndrome. Dr. Wangen is one of very few courageous authors who recognize and present the gluten syndrome in it's wider referenced context, beyond the celiac subset. Additionally he offers treatment suggestions for complications beyond the gluten free diet, and includes helpful food and vendor lists, disease lists, and other informational resources. Healthier Without Wheat is a gift to the gluten syndrome community which will positively redirect many confused and suffering non celiac gluten syndrome patients back to the help they seek in the face of false negative tests."
- Mrs. Olive Kaiser (founder of "TheGlutenSyndrome.net" website)

"I have recently read Dr. Wangen's book Healthier Without Wheat, and was pleasantly surprised at the up-to-date, relevant information, not to mention the sensible, straightforward approach to healing and living with gluten intolerance. Please tell Dr. Wangen that I think his book is the best one [on this topic] I have read-and I have read at least ten. And please thank him profusely-it answered some long-standing questions."
- Barbara Youngblood

"I was lucky enough to find your book on the shelf tonight as a new addition to my local library. ....
Thank you for writing Healthier Without Wheat! I've eliminated wheat/gluten from my diet for 2.5 years now based on a classmate's suggestion. (With great success.) Your book is the most informative of the tens that I've read so far. I'll soon own a copy. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! Keep up the excellent work!-"

"This is a must read for anyone interested in improving their health, or the health of those around you."
- David Cain

"The most readable practical guide to living life without wheat I have yet read, with loads of information accessible to anyone who can read English. Uses minimal jargon, speaks to the enormity of the issue with plenty of useful tips on how to navigate a newly gluten free world. A great resource."
- Rita Sturzbecher - www.thelittleaussiebakery.com

"I've just finished reading Healthier Without Wheat, and I strongly recommend it to others. It should be required reading for primary care physicians. I love the the clear and precise explanations. It is so readable, perfect for the lay person who may still be suffereing or the celiac who's been gluten free for 20 years .We can all benefit by learning more about our bodies. Dr. Wangen has helped us all to be more in charge of our own health care. It's a wonderful gift in the form of a great book! Thank You, Dr. Wangen!"
- Linda Fedewa

"Dr. Stephen Wangen’s latest book, "Healthier without Wheat," is a valuable resource for anyone following a gluten free diet, as well as anyone experiencing a variety of unexplainable symptoms. ..."Healthier without Wheat" is a must-have on a gluten intolerance person’s bookshelf. "
- Chicago GlutenFree Examiner Review by Betsy Thompson

"Best book I've read on this subject. Easy to read and understand. I love the short, personal profiles. Everyone will find someone to relate to and ultimately find answers to why you may be feeling so bad. I'm sharing this book with everyone who may need it. Thank you."
- Dawnell Holt

"I just finished reading Healthier Without Wheat, which I found in the Salem Hospital Community Health and Education Center (CHEC) here in Salem, Oregon. After 22 doctors over 2 years (including a trip to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota), I figured out that my son at 9 was gluten intolerant (only clue: high Gliadin IgG antibodies - nothing on his endoscopy, "celiac" panel, or other horrible and invasive tests). He is gluten-intolerant but not CELIAC and none of the 22 doctors we saw (even the gastros) got this. And they STILL don't get this (6 years later). I belong to our local Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG) here in Salem, and will highly recommend Healthier Without Wheat! I only wish I could send it to all the doctors we saw."
- Karen Cormac-Jones in Oregon

"Dr. Wangen's book is a must read for everyone involved with the gluten-free lifestyle. It is the first book I have read where I truly understood why consuming wheat causes problems for many of us, beyond celiac disease. I refer to this book over and over when I am teaching gluten-free classes and have many clients that feel this is the holy grail to understanding gluten intolerance in a simple and understandable way."
- Jen Cafferty, Founder, The Gluten Free Cooking Expo

" In the end, anyone reading this book will have a full understanding of how wheat can affect one’s life and will be able to determine if what is indeed affecting one’s or a loved one’s health and then how to go about addressing it if this is indeed the case. An excellent handbook—buy it, share it, and learn from Dr. Wangen. .... This resource book is given a thumbs up and is very HIGHLY recommended by me to have in every house-hold."

"I was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Since I knew no one that had this disease and could tell me about it, I went straight to the library and got several books on the subject. After reading several books, I came to yours and was pleasantly surprised. You not only described what the disease was, but what I should do and what I should eat. I took all the other books back to the library and ordered a copy of Healthier Without Wheat".
- Lillian McClellan

"One of the best and easiest books to understand regarding Non-Celiac Gluten Intolerance and Celiac Disease. I recommend this book to all my clients who present with possible symptoms of gluten intolerance. And it never fails, there are usually family members with undiagnosed food intolerances/sensitivities as well."
- Debra Hope-Riedesel RD, LD The CycleDiet.com

"I am loving this book! I have tried in vain to lose weight, figure out why I am so exhausted all the time, etc. In two days of removing gluten, I feel like a new person! No doctor has tested me for this....I don't care. Removing gluten from my diet is safe and affordable...I will be able to gradually eliminate many medications as my body gets better. Thank you for this wonderful book!"
- Annie

"It has now been almost six weeks since going gluten-free! Introduced a small amount twice and had an immediate skin reaction. Energy is through the roof! Fatigue is gone! Bloat is gone! Skin rash that had been wrongly diagnosed on my neck--as just where I did not use sunscreen--is almost totally gone! I hated that unsightly redneck ring. I am now convinced that I am gluten-intolerant; however, I had never had any of the digestive issues so never looked into Celiac. I will never eat gluten again (at least not on purpose). Thank you for this life-changing book!"
- Annie

"This book is the best written one I have read in the past 5 years with Celiac Disease. I have many friends and fellow employees I have helped with the diet. This explains all kinds of gluten problems, and will help so many people to finally get better! Wonderful read. Thank You for finally writing a book on the subject that makes sense to the average person. I will be recommending it to everyone I know with any health problems or symptoms."
