Full Bio
Rory Jones is a science writer and award-winning film producer. She is the co-author, with Dr. Peter Green, of Celiac Disease: A Hidden Epidemic (Collins), the definitive and groundbreaking book on one of the most common and under-diagnosed hereditary, autoimmune diseases in the U.S. today in which the body damages or destroys the very mechanism that enables us to digest food. Triggered by gluten, the main protein found in wheat, rye, and barley, the disease damages the small intestine so that it is unable to properly absorb nutrients.
Diagnosed with celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis (the skin manifestation of CD) in 1998, Jones has spent the past seven years researching and writing about it. She provides dietary counseling for the Westchester Celiac Sprue Support Group and is actively involved in the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University. Jones speaks to support groups around the country on celiac disease, nutrition, and living well with a chronic illness that require altering one’s lifestyle.
