I know how to cook, and these recipes fall short consistently and in every way. He must have copied them off the internet and never once tested any of them. I have wasted over $2K on groceries to accomplish this wheat belly diet for 6 people in 2 months. I am pissed. Not only am I out the money for the book, I am out for my trust in someone who simply lied and made me believe.

Been trying with all my might to cook from the recipes in the Wheat belly diet cook book. I am finding repeatedly that these recipes don't work. I am not trying to loose weight (5'7" 120lbs) but just trying to loose the wheat as I cook from scratch 3 to 6 times a day 365 days a year for the past 8 years. I guess you could say I can cook, although after trying these recipes, I am having my doubts. My family is BEGGING me to toss the diet into the trash can. I just threw out another batch of wheat belly recipes (the Flap Jacks) and we are going without for breakfast...again. Guess that's how he can claim you loose weight...non of it is palitable. Never in my life have I struggled with recipe after recipe from a cook book. These recipes have either never been tested, or folks are content to eating cardboard, souped up with a lot of cheese and butter! I am actually getting fat from this food, and it's only been a little over a week. Do your homework before you fall for this. Eat in moderation, eat healthy, don't ever eat out, and toss out bad cook books like this one. I am not in. Been trying with all my might to cook from the recipes in the Wheat belly diet cook book.

The cited research does not even support Dr. Davis' and the books claims. I will release this document to anyone that requests it and you can draw your own conclusions. These are not my opinions, these are scientific findings from the studies that are in this book. The truth needs to be told and this book is completely full of misleading information and completely false claims.

I researched the specific statements in the book with cited references about gluten and wheat and read each one of the studies. The claims made by the book and even the citations themselves are misleading at best and most are absolutely false. I have documented each instance and will make any of the studies available for anyone who requests them. Dr. Davis, who I have met in person and spoken with, is out to sell books. I believe he has good intentions and most likely has seen positive results with people choosing to be gluten free. However, the book Wheat Belly is poorly written and is leading people to believe things that are completely false. Read the studies that are referenced in the book. I am not bias either way. My wife actually has celiacs disease. However, the claims made in the book and the references to scientific studies are completely misinforming the public. Do not believe what you read in this book.

My joint pain is gone and I have so much energy, that even drinikng coffee seems like too much now, LOL.So, this has definitely become my way of life now. I have no desire for carbs or desserts (maybe some chocolate from time to time) and the choice between having wheat or feeling great is not even an issue anymore. I am talking about it with everyone, and may have been able to help a few people.At home, I am slowly weaning daughter and husband (he will make some rice instead of pasta for dinner now) and lots of salads. As he is French, the baguette is not going anywhere for now not for him at least haa haa.I saw your book in the bookstore, and it just called out to me. I guess the teacher appears when the student is ready. I ran home and downloaded it on my NOOK and read it in two days.I am enjoying my way of eating and love the challenge of finding delicious things to make that fill me up and leave me satisified for hours on end.Thank you so much for all you have done! I feel you have saved my life and my brain is more alert now, so I can actually feel confident in the new career path I have chosen. I seem happy again.

I was dsognaied Celiac last year, but have been gluten free for 2 years now. I've been vegetarian for 25 years.My iron is as high as a male meat eater (according to my doctor), so I must be doing something right?I eat lots of different things. However, many of the soy products have gluten in them, so I have had to change the way I eat lately.For example:Breakfast:Gluten free museli with chopped banana and milk/rice milkLunch:Tzatziki dip, with tomatoes, cucumber, cheese (rennet free) and some rice crackersDinner:Large mushrooms baked in the oven with olive oil, garlic and paprika drizzled over themSteamed veggies eg: spinach, brussell sprouts, snow peas, cauliflower, broccoli,Put mounds of the steamed veggie over the large baked mushrooms, drizzle with Natural Greek Yoghurt (savoury) and sprinkle with Chilli flakes .(this is such a yummy nutrious dinner)Followed by a strawberry, banana, cinammon smoothie.There are many other recipes of course, my easy to make Chick Pea burgers are delicious, easy to make and highly nutritious . just do a google search for gluten free vegetarian recipes I’m a Celiac too and a vegetarian.

Thanks for the tip-off. I'll order it. I'm really interested in cardiac function and how wheat might impact heart health. Thanks! And wishing you continued good health! Melissa Hi Marc,

I find too many grains (even "healthy" GF grains) don't serve me well. I do better with organic whole foods (heavy on the veggies). Thanks for commenting! Hi Nicole,

It's that "ground styrofoam" consistency and nutritional value of GF processed foods. I've never been a fan. The GF diet can be very unhealthy if you go for all the starchy, low-grade, processed stuff. Thanks for your comment. I love hearing from people who are not GF! =) Alisa,
