Author Biography
Dedication
This book is dedicated to the memory of my mother, Delores Haas Nelson, and the millions like her, who suffered with symptoms of gluten intolerance and food allergies in silence.
Acknowledgments
Just as no man is an island, no author brings a book to life alone. So many people have helped in the creation process of what you, dear reader, now hold in your hands, and it is my pleasure to introduce you to them and thank them for part.
First, and most importantly, I thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for leading me on this amazing journey, and never failing to be by my side during the bumpy road parts.
To my best-friend-other-than-my-husband, Lynette, for pitching in last minute, while raising her own family, and helping to proofread and edit. She made sure that what you are about to read actually makes sense.
And especially to my husband, Brian. This book would not exist without your generous support. You believed in this book long before it was even a twinkle in my eye. You have always loved me, even when I’m unlovable, and I would not be who I am without you. You inspire me every day, and I love you so much.

Let me tell you the why
I chose those specific references for you. The Celiac Disease Foundation will give you very valuable information about celiac disease, as well as wonderful recipes. Linda Page’s Healthy Healing will also give you more information to help you toward a more healthy you. AllRecipes.com® is one of the best resources for recipes of any kind on the internet, and now you can search for gluten free recipes. Anything printed by Triumph Dining® will help you in the grocery store or when eating out. Their books are also reasonably priced. Stephanie O’Dea’s books came from her blog, which I was actually following before we went gluten free because everything was made in the crock pot. They are a great tool for those who also need to learn to cook for themselves now that they are gluten free. We are using them to help teach our daughter to cook. Nourishing Traditions will help you develop a large repertoire of homemade stocks and much, much more. While not all of the
