[Ellie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Defeat Wheat is the most entertaining anti-wheat book I've ever read. Author Brian Gansmann had me laughing early on with his account of an incident that occurred on a visit to Munich. What happened to him was serious, but Gansmann's intentionally humorous description also makes it quite memorable.

Although Gansmann suffers from celiac disease, he emphasizes that eliminating wheat from the diet is also good for those who don't have the condition. He has recommended this dietary change to friends and acquaintances, with good results.

To help readers feel more comfortable committing to a life without wheat, the author provides tips for wheat-free meals and snacks. He also demonstrates how to save money on supplies.

Defeat Wheat is an excellent manual for understanding and overcoming celiac disease. The author wraps medical fact around a personal story, helping to give a human edge to the difficulties of altering your lifestyle.
He covers all the bases, from diet and nutrition to mental attitude and personal philosophy, giving the reader a well-rounded look at how to approach the problems involved and changes required without getting lost in overly-scientific explanations. An all around excellent and easy read!
