Eat Your Rice Cakes

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, Margaret Weiss, RD, CDCES was happily raising her family in central New Jersey when she was diagnosed with celiac disease. With little support for what was then a relatively unknown condition, she was forced to face her reactions and behaviors as she navigated many, often unpleasant, life changes to accommodate this disease.

Are you experiencing a range of emotions and behaviors related to your own condition that you'd like to understand better?

Are you interested in behavioral theories that might help explain and guide your actions as you navigate significant change?

Are you looking for a way to transform your mindset about your diagnosis with constructive and reliable best practices that are forward-looking and healing?

Drawing on her experience as both a person with celiac disease and as a practicing dietitian, Margaret wrote Eat Your Rice Cakes to explore this journey of change. With humor and pragmatism, she speaks to both patients and providers of healthcare with a combination of personal and professional experiences that illustrate our responses to significant upheaval.

Eat Your Rice Cakes offers an inspirational way for all readers to process life-altering change across a wide range of medical disorders with an ultimate vision of empowerment and compassion.
