The Gluten-Free Nutrition Guide, McGraw-Hill, 2008
"The main reason I wrote this book was to be helpful. Hopefully, this book accomplishes two things: first, provides you with the information you need to eat a healthy gluten-free diet, and second, provides you with the necessary research and evidenced based information to help clear up confusion about the gluten-free diet. Included in this book is the best available scientific information; the same information available to physicians and dietitians. My purpose is to present information to you that allows you to make your own decisions. I wanted to avoid writing a book that merely told you what you should and should not eat. With a little thought, the gluten-free diet can be very healthful and not at all stressful to follow." (Excerpted from The Gluten-Free Nutrition Guide)

Easy Gluten Free: Expert Nutrition Advice with More Than 100 Recipes, Wiley, 2010 (co-authored with Marlisa Brown)
"Have you or a family member been diagnosed with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity? Are you worried that "gluten-free" means boring, bland, and lacking in nutrition? Worry no more. This book will show you how to bring the benefits of delicious, gluten-free whole grains back into your diet and whip up delicious dishes you'll be proud to share with family and friends." (Editorial Reviews, Amazon.com)
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Gluten-Free Eating, Alpha, 2007 (co-authored with Eve Adamson)
This book was written to help you move as simply and easily as possible from a gluten-full to a gluten-free diet. It is chock full of all the basic information you need to get started on the diet and would make a nice companion book to The Gluten-Free Nutrition Guide. It is written from a refreshingly unique (and often times funny) perspective as Eve (my co-author) went gluten-free while writing this book.
Celiac Disease Nutrition Guide, American Dietetic Association, 2006
"Provides essential information for people diagnosed with Celiac disease. This easy to read “survival guide” outlines how to follow a gluten-free diet, identify food products and medications that might contain harmful grains, shop for gluten-free products at the market and online, locate companies that manufacture and/or distribute gluten-free products, safely choose foods when eating away from home and avoid cross contamination in your kitchen. Also includes information on support groups, online resources and a "Frequently Asked Questions" section." (ADA catalog description).
