From: Myrna Chandler Goldstein <[log in to unmask]>

In reviewing the books for people who are gluten intolerant, I have
noted that there are several for medical professionals and a few
practical cookbooks. But I have been unable to locate any books that
describe the individual experiences of those who deal with gluten
intolerance on a daily basis. What type of symptoms did they have? How
were they diagnosed? What are the specific ways that they handle
everyday situations? What are their favorite recipes? Do they have
informative personal anecdotes?

Do others think that there is a need for such a work? Does such a book
already exist? Please let me know what you think.

I am a journalist who is currently completing her second book. Recently,
I signed a contract for a third book. But my gluten intolerance was
undiagnosed for years because it didn't fit into the classic parameters.
I am beginning to think that is quite common. Maybe I should write a
book in which I tell the stories of 20 or 30 people who deal with gluten
intolerance.

I hope to learn if there is a need for such a book. Please e-mail me
your thoughts. Also, if you think you have an interesting story to tell
for the book, please let me know. If the book happens, I may get in
touch with you and conduct an on-line interview.

Thank you,

Myrna
