Review by: Al Klapperich on May 19, 2011 :
"The Gluten Syndrome" is for you, if:

You are searching for answers to your "unexplained" health issues.
Your celiac disease test results came back negative and you are still sick.
You are "Sick, tired and grumpy".

Dr. Ford shares a lifetime of knowledge and experience in this manuscript [I like to think of it as a gluten-free manifesto]. He explains how and why gluten can be at the root of ill-health and why it's often overlooked by many medical professionals. He even explains how interpret your own test results!

The eBook edition of "The Gluten Syndrome" builds upon the second edition [printed version] by offering updated information on testing, a list of gluten-savvy doctors/researchers, recent medical articles from 2009 - 2011 and a host of other tweaks.
