Bethesda, MD (May 17, 2010) A new book from the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) offers broad and practical knowledge on celiac disease and gluten-related disorders, empowering those who are undiagnosed and those living with the disease to achieve the best possible health and well-being.

The authors Melinda Dennis, MS, RD, LDN, and Daniel A. Leffler, MD, MS, both from the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center joined by more than 50 international experts, share stories of patients who have questions or problems related to celiac disease and gluten-related disorders.

Ms. Dennis, a registered dietician and nutrition counselor who was diagnosed with celiac disease 20 years ago, says, "Back when I was diagnosed, barely anyone knew about celiac disease. We have come such a very long way, and I am grateful to be riding this wave of rising interest and awareness."

According to Kristen Voorhees, a patient who was diagnosed in 2007, the book offers "110 percent trustworthy advice for patients and their family members and 360 coverage of complicated topics from fructose intolerance to eating d
