Additional ResourcesBooksBelow are a few of the books I find to be helpful and reliable information about the gluten free diet. Some are guides, and others are cookbooks. My favorite cookbook is the Bette Hagman "Gluten Free Gourmet Bakes Bread". These are available on Amazon.com I recommend that you read the reviews there before deciding which is right for you. While I am affiliated with Amazon, and this site would receive a small commission for any purchase, the cost would not be affected for you. Amazon is usually among the lowest priced.
