Within days after my diagnosis for CD, my dietician at Walter Reed Army Medical Hospital referred me to: FOOD AND THE GUT REACTION/Intestinal Health Through Diet for Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Diverticulitis, Celaic Disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Chronic Diarrhea by Elaine Gottschall BA/MSc, 1986, ISBN 0-9692768-0-X In the book it suggests additional copies can be had by contacting the publisher directly at: The Kirkton Press R.R. #1 Kirkton, Ontario NOK 1KO As a medical lay person, I found it to be just what I needed at a level I could just grasp. I've since heard it derided by a doctor for it's simplicity, which confirmed what I liked about it.
