A Real Life Expert!

Wow! How incredibly exciting, I have just met Jacqueline Mallorca, the author of The Wheat-Free Cook!

An unusually late trip to the bookstore found my beau searching for a book about metabolic typing and me for a gluten free cookie recipe. I was hunched over in front of the gluten free section, when a chance encounter found me chatting with Ms. Mallorca.

She is an incredibly nice lady and confirmed my suspicions that a Celiac blood test would be falsely negative if I had been cutting out gluten for weeks--even if I did try a last minute flour binge just two hours before. She said that she may have some doctors she can recommend and also referred me to a website, EnteroLab for alternative tests.

She seems an incredible expert on cooking and gluten free living. Ms. Mallorca's book on Amazon has 5 stars overall--I've just ordered a copy!
