Product Description
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.

 This has been our savior! October 10, 2008
I love this book! My 2-year-old son does not have ADHD or Autism but he does have the same food sensitivities. It has been hard trying to come up with new recipes when everything we used to cook contained cheese or some sort of dairy. Not only do we have more recipes, I also have a better understanding of what food sensitivities are. Our PA has been great in explaining all of this, but I definitely have a better understanding of it all after reading this. And I have more questions for our PA. I had tried Food Allergy Cookbook [Hardcover]By: Lucinda Bruce-Gardyne (Author). Not a good book for Children or anyone with multiple food sensitivities.
Perfect for beginners and beyond! October 2, 2008
This book is just wonderful. I'm a beginner with this diet, and love the book. Even my friend who has been doing this diet for years found new neat stuff in this book.
Not much else to say, every one else above about said it all. = )Just wanted to add my 2 cents.
Easy to Understand, good starting place September 16, 2008
I found this book to be a good place to start for learning about the Gluten Free, Casein Free Diet. It explains very well about the diet and why it helps. I would have liked it better if it had a list of popular brand name gluten free and/or casein free items that kids like. I guess I was looking for a shopping list. It does have some items and offers suggestions on substitutions for daily use items. I think I was looking for something like how a calorie guide is written for Gluten free and/or casein free foods. I guess it is a little overwhelming to try to start a new diet especially with a child with sensory issues to begin with. I decided to try to incorporate some gluten free items into his diet first and try to add the casein free later. The book is well written and a good place to start your research into the Gluten free/casein free diet.
Great book to start with August 13, 2008

My son has ADHD and after a nightmare of a year on medication we vowed never to go down that road again. I started researching alternative and natural remedies to cure ADHD. I found a doctor who specialized in ADHD and autism. This doctor ordered food allergy tests for my son. Low and behold, my son is allergic to about 15 different foods including wheat, dairy, soy, milk, eggs, nuts and others.
Distraught and overwhelmed, this is the first book (of many - most of which I returned) that I ordered.
It has been a real eye-opener. I can't even go into all of the topics the book covers.
I have made three or four of the recipes so far and they've all been great. Last night I made Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread and WOW, it is really good! Some recipes I have to substitute ingredients because of the severity of my sons allergies (as I did in the Pumpkin Bread), but I did so without affecting the end result.
It's scary and intimidating to suddenly change your life style - especially in the kitchen. I was never much of a cook before and now I cook 3-4 meals a day from scratch! This book is a great resource for those who are timid about trying this new approach to cooking.
BTW - I've already noticed improvement in my son's behavior. We've been on this ADHD diet for about six weeks. It's worth it!
Excellent resource for all things GF/CF!!! August 13, 2008

At first I was a little disappointed that only about half of the book is actual recipes and the other half is information, but the resoure material and the invaluable explanation of the diet has been extremely helpful! I have shared this book with everyone I know who has a child with an autism spectrum disorder and we all have LOVED it! A great find! The recipes aren't phenomenal, but my son will eat most of them.
