Book Review: Special Diets for Special Kids
Summary: 5 Stars
I am researching diet/supplementation suggestions for my son who has Sensory Integration Dysfunction. This book was written well and was easy for me to follow although she does discuss scientific processes. It provided some possibilities for me to consider as to why my son behaves the way he does. The diet recommends a gluten free/casein free diet for Autism and related developmental disorders. The diet will be what I try last in my search to help my son because of its potential labor intensity. I am hoping we are successful with supplements. If you are searching for information about the link between Autism/SID/related delays and diet this is a good overview. The resources and websites have been very helpful.Book Review: Great resource!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought several books/cookbooks re: going GF/CF and this is the one I find myself using the most. I especially like the author's comments/suggestions on how to make the recipes easier or get better results. My son is in the process of being diagnosed with ASD and in the two weeks we have been GFCF we are seeing exciting results.
I also want to add that I made the Pearsauce bread recipe using applesauce and adding nutmeg and raisins and took it to a work potluck... nobody knew it was GFCF and they loved it!!!!! Several people wanted the recipe. Also a great resource for what to avoid and a sample letter to teachers/therapists that I found helpful! Can't wait to get her other book!
Book Review: 2004 Writers Notes Book Award
Summary: 5 Stars
Billing itself as a specialized diet book for special kids-children with Autism and a range of related devel-opmental disorders-this book opens with a candid analysis of the journey that parents must take while diagnos-ing their child's unique set of neurological conditions. One factor involves a society that cannot handle anyone outside the neuro-normal. This author has waged the wars but clearly handles it with dignity and grace, revealing the options and avenues for the most overlooked origin of biofeedback-the food that we place in our bodies every day. Special Diets for Special Kids is a must-have reference for parents grasping for answers.Book Review: The one to get you started !....
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is about the "why" and the "how" of the gluten free casein free diet recommended for autistic kids.
It's great !! It's easy to read yet complete, is full of tips and has lots of recipes (easy to do and tasty).
Implementing this diet is not exactly funny or easy at the beginning, this book will lead you every step of the way and give you great hope that you can live normally with this diet.
Afterward everything falls into place ! With this book, you can do it !
Book Review: Couldn't live without this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
We have both of these books and I could not live without them. My husband is GF and my 2 yr old is GF/CF (diagnosed on the spectrum) and after being on this diet all of her autistic symptoms went away. I already knew how to cook GF, but this book has given us so many more possibilites to eat normal meals and have fun treats. We made our Christmas cookies from the recipe in here and the icing for them. I recommend these to anyone who needs to eat GF or GF/CF.
