To my sister, Judy Wilcox. You carved your own path through trial and error sometimes, but you finally found a safe way to eat. I learned a lot from you, though (as the younger sister) I never really wanted to actually admit it! Thanks for being a great example of how someone who is seriously gluten intolerant can savor the morsels with total satisfaction! I love you, Judy!

Thank you to Abe Ogden, Director of Book Publishing, for asking me to be involved in this project. You are a true professional and have been wonderful to work with. Thank you to Nancy Hughes for helping everyone see the need for this book and for all your time and work put into creating the recipes. Thank you to Greg Guthrie for your expertise and help once again.

Thank you to Sue Mikolaitis, the dietitian that I saw when I was diagnosed with celiac disease. My specialty at that time was only diabetes and you taught me so much about the gluten-free world. Thank you to the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center. You are a tremendous resource for all of us and your research is incredible. Im so grateful for the Center and for all the wonderful people there including Dr. Guandalini, Carol Shilson, Ronit Rose, and Lara Field.

Thank you to all the food companies, restaurants, bakeries, and stores that offer gluten-free food and make our lives easier. I cant say thank you enough to my parents, sisters, mother and father-in-law, friends, and Dinner Club girls for making sure I always have something gluten-free to eat when I come to your house. You all have learned so much about gluten-free food and I appreciate all the care, work, and expense you put into having me over (and for always agreeing to eat at gluten-friendly restaurants). Thank you to my husband, Jared, for becoming a gluten-free expert and for always looking out for me and for telling restaurants, You cant just take those croutons off the salad and bring it back to her; you have to make a new salad now. Jaredthank you for your love, support, feedback, editing skills, and for being a great dad and husband. And to my two little ones, Ethan and Penelope, thanks for making me laugh every day. I love you so much and Im so proud of the little people you are becoming.

Finally, thank you to all my patients with celiac disease and diabetes who continue to inspire me every day. Thank you for sharing your stories with me. I hope this makes your gluten-free, diabetes life a little easier.

My Story

In February 2007, I was biopsy diagnosed with celiac disease. My life changed dramatically with this diagnosis, as I now have to follow a strict gluten-free diet. I went from being a registered dietitian (RD) counseling patients on what to eat, to being the patient wondering what I could eat. I remember it vividly: sitting in my office and thinking that my Italian Christmas celebrations full of lasagna, eggplant Parmesan, biscotti, and cookies would never be the same. Even though I was an RD, I had a lot to learn about the gluten-free diet. My specialty was diabetes, so I knew much more about diabetes and healthy carbohydrates than celiac disease and gluten. Five years later, Ive become very accustomed to eating gluten-free foods at home, restaurants, parties, and when traveling.
