Book Review: "Recognizing Celiac Disease is an excellent up to date and most comprehensive manual that is based on The National Institutes of Health sponsored Consensus Development Conference of June 2004.

Most of all, it expands on the nutritional deficiencies and complications of this disease, emphasizing the dietary management of these patients.
