Cleo J. Libonati, RN, BSN

Our co-founder, Cleo Libonati, RN, BSN wrote the book.

She happens to be Pennsylvania Dutch and an amazing cook.

She also graduated from University of Pennsylvania when the nursing program included nutrition.

Sections on Gluten and Dairy explain how they cause health problems in detail.

The section on Nutrient Deficiencies includes a chart of Symptoms matched to the deficiency that causes them.

All the recipes include a list of the nutrients the dish contains.

This way you can look up your symptoms, find out which deficiency is causing them and add the meals that will give you the nutrients YOU need.

We should have called it Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Cooking and Nutrition Made Easy!

Most chronic health problems are due to inflammation and nutrient deficiencies.

Buckwheat Brownies

This book will help you decrease inflammation by cutting out gluten, dairy, sugar and soy while improving your nutrient levels.

We don’t just sell the book.

We use it.

Every week and most days.

Especially every time we want pizza. Or waffles. Or cake. Yum.

We use it when the symptom section shows us we need more zinc or calcium or vitamin A.

Did you know you could make a tasty Brazil Nut Risotto that contains Selenium, Vitamin K, Calcium, Copper, Magnesium, Magnanese. Vitamin A, Riboflavin and Iron?

You can. It’s on page 59.

Our Chocolate Coconut Ice Cream Recipe gives you iron and copper. That’s on page 63.

Tender Skillet Meatloaf

Is the Gluten-Free Diet Still Relevant?

Remember when the gluten-free diet was all the rage in the news?
 
Not anymore.
 
Now, it is more often than not treated as a scam.
 
The news even tells you it is dangerous…unless you are diagnosed by a doctor, of course.
 
Gluten is said to be something best left to doctors…the professionals.
 
If you beat the odds, and are actually successfully diagnosed with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, most doctors think all you need to do to get healthy is remove gluten from your diet .
 
A woman told us her doctor said, “just stop eating pizza and bagels,” after she was diagnosed with celiac disease.
 
Two years later, her daughter was born with a cleft lip.

Are Celiac Disease Blood Tests Pass Fail?

I was recently speaking with a friend at my gym who complained about a number of health problems that sounded like celiac disease. I suggested she get tested.

She answered that she was tested, but it was negative.

I asked when she was tested.

Ten years ago…

Many people report that their doctors tested them and told them, “you don’t have it,” after one blood test.

There is a great deal of confusion when it comes to celiac disease tests. This video answers the question of whether the blood tests are pass/fail.
