About the Author
Danna Korn is also the author of Wheat-Free, Worry-Free: The Art of Happy, Healthy, Gluten-Free Living and Kids with Celiac Disease: A Family Guide to Raising Happy, Healthy Gluten-Free Children. Respected as one of the leading authorities on the gluten-free diet and the medical conditions that benefit from it, she speaks frequently to health care professionals, celiacs, parents of celiacs, parents of autistic kids involved in a gluten-free/casein-free dietary intervention program, and others on or considering a gluten-free diet. She has been invited twice to be a presenter at the International Symposium on Celiac Disease.
Danna has been researching celiac disease since her son, Tyler, was diagnosed with the condition in 1991. That same year, she founded R.O.C.K. (Raising Our Celiac Kids), a support group for families of children on a gluten-free diet. Today, Danna leads more than 100 chapters of R.O.C.K. worldwide. She is a consultant to retailers, manufacturers, testing companies, dietitians, nutritionists, and people newly diagnosed with gluten intolerance and celiac disease. She also coordinates the International Walk/Run for Celiac Disease each May in San Diego.
Dedication
This book is dedicated to the people who have patiently supported my sometimes-over-zealous-and-usually-over-the-top efforts as The Glutenator, singing the praises of a gluten-free lifestyle throughout the land. Most importantly, to my family and friends, who encourage, inspire, and energize me. Your support means more to me than you could ever know, and I couldnt have written a word without you. And to those of you who embrace or are planning to embrace the gluten-free lifestyle, I hope I can make a difference, if only a small one, in your lives by inspiring you to love the gluten-free way of life.
Authors Acknowledgments
A huge thank-you to the hard-working team at Wiley Publishing. First, thank you to Mikal Belicove, the acquisitions editor who came up with and promoted the idea of doing a For Dummies book about the gluten-free lifestyle, and then held my hand as I learned the ropes of writing in the For Dummies format. To senior project editor Tim Gallan, thank you for keeping me on track and for your attention to organization and detail. To both Tim and copy editor Danielle Voirol, thank you for tolerating my sometimes quirky sense of humor and my many made-up words. It must have driven your spell-checker crazy. Danielle, your speedy grasp of the subject, in-depth research, and clever questions were amazing. Cant get anything by you, thats for sure!
Id like to thank Emily Nolan for testing all of the recipes, and for her tactful and humorous comments when the dishes I had invented were outrageous flops (dont worry, we fixed em!). And thank you to Patty Santelli for nutritional analysis of the recipes.
Im extremely grateful to my friends and colleagues, Michelle Pietzak, M.D. and Cynthia Kupper, R.D., for their careful technical review of the book. Both of you go far and above the call of duty in helping the gluten-free community each and every day.
A huge thank you to my friend and hero, Alessio Fasano, M.D., who is one of the biggest fish in the celiac sea. Im honored that you wrote the foreword for this book, and am grateful for your phenomenal work in the celiac world.
To the entire gluten-free community, thank you for your steadfast encouragement. You motivate me to be passionate.
And last, but by no means least, Im incredibly grateful to my family and friends. After I finished the book before this one, I asked you to slip cyanide in my coffee if I ever thought about writing another book. Thanks for not doing that. Seriously, without your patience, encouragement, support, optimism, love and inspiration, I couldnt have written a word.
