In writing No Grain No Pain, a gluten free cookbook dedicated exclusively for those with celiac disease, requiring a gluten free diet, I chose to let those with celiac disease tell the way it really is. In giving those with celiac disease a voice, I hope not only will the public become more educated to the realities of the disease, but that this book will give hope especially to those who are newly diagnosed.
In the past, celiac disease has not been well understood. Yet, as of 2009, there are more than 7,300 members who belong to the Canadian Celiac Association, with almost 100 new members joining monthly. Still, there are many people who have never heard of celiac disease. It is my prayer that No Grain No Pain will be a helpful source of information for medical practitioners, those needing a gluten free cookbook, as well as for friends and family of those with celiac disease.
