About the Author: Stephen Wangen
Dr. Stephen Wangen is a nationally recognized expert in the fields of digestive disorders and food allergies. Dr. Wangen is a board certified physician and is himself gluten and dairy intolerant. Wangen is co-founder of the IBS Treatment Center (www.ibstreatmentcenter.com) and the Center for Food Allergies. Dr. Wangen continually investigates issues related to food allergies through his clinical work and by serving as the Medical Advisor for the nonprofit organization the Food Allergy and Intolerance Foundation. Dr. Wangen also serves on the Board of Trustees for the Gluten Intolerance Group of North America, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and advocating for people with gluten intolerance. Dr. Wangen has written two books: The Irritable Bowel Syndrome Solution and Healthier Without Wheat. He travels nationally speaking about these and related topics.
Healthier Without Wheat is the leading resource for understanding, diagnosing, and living with reactions to wheat and gluten. Critically acclaimed by Library Journal, and a 2010 Book of the Year Finalist for ForeWord Magazine, Healthier Without Wheat makes sense of a complex issue and explains why millions of people feel better when they avoid gluten. Dr. Wangen, a gluten intolerant physician, has an easy-to-understand writing style and uses patient stories with scientific facts to clearly explain how gluten intolerance causes numerous maladies and is often difficult to recognize. Most importantly, this book substantiates the much larger world of non-celiac gluten intolerance.
