At the age of two, Ann Campanella's daughter barely registered on the pediatric growth chart, rarely napped and had intense stomachaches after eating. After frustrating attempts to find answers, Sydney finally received a celiac diagnosis three years later. Celiac Mom is a story of healing and hope.
What Does It Take to Begin a New Way of Eating?
Celiac Mom charts the course of a noncook determined to keep her young daughter safe from gluten, a substance that is literally poisoning her. The author reveals the challenges of upending a wheat-filled life in order to embrace a healthy future for her family.
