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!"

"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."
