The best kid-friendly recipes and guide to the gluten-free milk-free diet for ADHD and Autism.What it is. Why it works. How to do it.
The Centers for Disease Control reports significant increases in Autism and ADHD - both affecting primarily boys. The CDC estimates that 1 out of 175 children (age 4 to 17) currently have Autism (300,000). Before 1985, Autism occurred in less than 1 out of 2000. ADHD is much more common in that it affects 4.4 million U.S. children (age 4 to 17).
Common to both of these conditions is the negative impact of certain foods - especially milk products and glutens such as wheat(and to a lesser degree - soy and corn.) One of the challenges that parents face is coping with children who have picky appetites and crave the very foods that affect their behavior, focus and development. The other challenge is finding ways to get their children to eat healthy foods and improve their nutritional status.
The uniqueness of this! book is that it not only provides gluten-free milk-free substitutes and recipes, it provides successful suggestions for feeding the picky eater. The authors share details about just how and why the diet works. The specialty ingredients are explained and extensive sources provided. There are also testimonials from the parents and from the children themselves.

Customer Rating:
Summary: AWESOME!
Comment: This book is one of my favorite cook books! We feel so much better and my daughter's behavior is changing. The info in this book is very helpful in understanding our eating habits and it's effects on our bodies. I have read a lot of GFCF books, I like all of them, but this is my very favorite.

Summary: Super simple recipes
Comment: I love this book. I have had it for almost a year now and have learned a great deal. I am buying one for a good friend now who's son was just diagnosed with autism.
The recipes are very basic and simple, good if you are a busy mom and good if your kids are picky eaters. My boys luckily eat a variety of foods but we have loved the recipes from this book! I have a few other books that deal with gluten-free and casien-free recipes which I also use often.
This is a great resource! A must have book!

Summary: Great information, recipes are ok
Comment: Having made several recipes out of here I can say that about 70% of them turn out decent or good. We've mainly made the baked goods since I think cooking meat and vegetables without gluten or dairy is easy (for me). Also since my daughter does not eat much of those yet, my main interest from the recipes was things like pancakes, breads etc. The best recipe in the baked goods is the carrot cake. The major downside to a lot of the sweeter treats like cookies and cakes though is how much sugar is in them and high calories per serving. For example, that carrot cake runs about 800 cals/serving!
The best part of this book was the explanation of the effects of food sensitivities and intolerances (not necessarily allergies) on a child. My daughter has mild autism and I had heard about the gluten free casein free diet and been skeptical until I read this book. It was the first good explanation of what happens in the body and brain biologically and why the kids get into a vicious cycle with moods etc. I recognized the symptoms in my child and thought to give it a try. We went through a 6 week "withdrawal" period but after that it was like she came out of a fog. The diet is by no means some miracle cure - she still has bad days, but she has a LOT more good ones now.
