Book Reviews of Special Diets for Special Kids
Book Review: Interested in GFCF for autism? Don't miss this book.
Summary: 5 Stars
I agree with the other positive reviews, which well outline the contents of this book. I almost considered not buying it myself. I figured it might be starting to outdate and I could find lots of good information on my own... THANKFULLY, I went ahead and splurged! I refer to the resource often and hope Lisa Lewis will write more. I am the fortunate mother of a child who dramatically improved on this diet before other interventions could be put in place. There are strong indications that the GFCF diet, promoted by Lisa Lewis in her book, is propelling my child through the other intensive interventions he now receives. I don't recall the book promising it could be easy - it certainly is not. However, this book will help parents learn and hopefully implement the diet with motivation, creativity, and objectivity.
Book Review: WOW!!! SO THANKFUL FOR THIS BOOK!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Before we started this miracle diet, our four year old daughter was unable to understand much of anything we said to her. We had to gesture and point like we were speaking a foreign language. This diet allowed our daughter to begin understanding within a matter of days. She also started making eye contact almost immediately. Her chronic diarrhea ended. Instead of being zoned out she started playing and fighting with her two year old sister. She started saying words instead of just repeating what she heard. She started picking up toys and pretend playing. She was finally able to begin potty training. This book taught us how to begin the diet. It was tough at first but now after 5 1/2 months our family is pretty comfortable with it. This book provides all the information you need to suceed. Good Luck to You!!!!Book Review: This book saved my grandson's life.
Summary: 5 Stars
this book convinced my grandson's parents that he may be autistic and in need of a similar diet that the one described on the book. When my grandson's other grandmother read it after I sent it to her, she called me to say she could not put the book away thinking that our little boy was exactly like Lisa's son. We found a DAN doctor and put him on treatment early enough that now he is in regular school and doing very well. I don't think the book is intended to provide a magical diet for every child in the spectrum. But it provides wonderful information about how what you eat can make you sick and that an adequate individualized diet may help your child. I loved her story, her courage and her determination to help her child get better. It was so helpful for us, I will always be thankful to Lisa.Book Review: OK peoples ! If you have a child on the spectrum - its time!

Parents of autistic children, ADD or ADHD kids - you have to do the GFCF Diet thing! IT IS TIME.This book by Ms Lewis is a great how to get on this diet with excellent practical advice and good tested/yummy recipes for all the favorites including: CHICKEN NUGGETS, breads and food planning.
This GFCF Diet is not a fad and it is not a gimic but an excellent way to you help spectrum child feel, do, be the best they can be.
It all starts with proper nutrition and certain ingredient avoidances. Give it a shot! I highly recommend it and have seen enormous changes in my autistic son so much so that his ATEC went from 89 to 9 and he is now in kindergarten! I highly recommend this book (and Special Diets for Special Kids II!)
What are you waiting for????
Book Review: A Fabulous Resource for Beginning a Casein-free,Gluten-free
Summary: 5 Stars
Having a child recently diagnosed with autism, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone in search of the "how to" of a CFGF diet. Containing explanations of why this diet may be effective, tests and nutritional support, lists of foods the child can and cannot eat, recipes, and so much more! I especially appreciated the list of mail order food companies and web sites where you may obtain the food necessary for this diet. Every professional I have spoken with, including those who have seen my child, have highly recommended this book. It has became my salvation! I cannot thank Lisa Lewis enough for writing such a comprehensive book! If you are a parent with a child diagnosed with autism, this book is a must have!
