]]> Elisabeth Hasselbeck is being sued over her book The G-Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide.  The the g-free dietView co-host released the book after being diagnosed with celiac disease which is an autoimmune disorder linked to gluten proteins (like the ones you’d find in wheat, barley and rye).  Unfortunately, it could be that Elisabeth’s experience wasn’t her only source of inspiration for writing the book.

According to the Boston Herald, a woman named Susan Hassett sent Hasselbeck a copy of her own self-published work, Living with Celiac Disease, along with “a homemade cooking video, a personal note, a newspaper article and a business card.”

So far, Elisabeth hasn’t responded to the allegations but I would like to know just how similar the books are.  This health-related stuff can be so similar since, unless the author has stumbled upon some huge breakthrough, it’s all just a variation on what researchers have discovered.  I hope Elisabeth didn’t steal from that woman but I guess it will be up to a court of law to decide.
