from gluten intolerance.

Press Release Body = On May 19th,2006, as part of the Access to Health Experts
teleseminar series, Dr. Liz Lipski interviewed Jodi Bager and Jenni Lass, coauthors
of "Grain Free Gourmet". Bager and Lass, both live with digestive disorders. They
revealed their secrets for creating sustainable and delicious approaches to baking,
cooking and eating without the ingredients that many of us consider to be required,
such as sugar, wheat flour and milk.

Over 70 million Americans suffer from digestive diseases that lead to discomfort and
pain after meals. According to Dr. Lipski, "Gluten intolerance affects at least one
in every 200 people, but many more cases may go undiagnosed," and while the most
well known side effects of gluten intolerance are digestive, there are many more
including neurological and behavioral problems, which may have serious long term
side effects.

Living with gluten intolerance can be difficult, because it requires eliminating all
gluten and wheat containing products from your diet. Not an easy task in our
culture. However, using an appropriate diet can have significant and real daily
benefits to your health and well being, and a distinct improvement to your quality
of life.

Following the principles of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), Bager and Lass
have created tantalizing recipes that can be easily tolerated by people with Crohn's
disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and celiac disease,
among others. This is also an ideal cookbook for weight loss and health-conscious
people looking for new ways to remove wheat and gluten products from their diet.

In this teleseminar Bager and Lass show how to make sustainable dietary changes that
help you to reduce and eliminate your symptoms, to bring your digestive disorder
under control. Here are some of their recommendations for a grain free diet:

. Substitute Almond flour for wheat flour
. Don't eat Soy - it's hard to digest
. Home made yogurt is especially good because of its active probiotics
. Be sure to soak beans 8 to 10 hours before cooking them
. Make sandwich wraps out of cheese rather than bread
