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.

 BEST COOKBOOK YET! April 20, 2008
B. Dowling (South Jersey)
We have been on a GFCF diet for six months. I am always looking for new recipes. I wish this was the first cookbook I had purchased because I would have saved myself a lot of money and wasted ingredients by not having to purchase the other not-so-good cookbooks. This cookbook has a wonderful variety of recipes and lots of helpful hints and tips. You will not regret this purchase!

D. Reilly (Myrtle Beach, SC)
Rec'd the book fast .... was just as described. Have not had a change to read it - but in browsing through it see alot of very easy recipes that kids will enjoy if they need to be on this diet.
Great book to have! March 25, 2008
Crystal Conard (Wiggins, MS)
My son just started the GFCF diet and this book is excellent in explaining how the body works when breaking down these different types of food. It also gives you lists of products to watch for hidden ingredients. The recipes sound great but I haven't had a chance to try them yet.
A Must-have for the Overwhelmed Family Cook March 18, 2008
R. Riley (Texas)
This book is very informative as to why diet modifications are so critical for children with ADHD and Autism. I was completely overwhelmed by the challenge of diet change and cooking gluten-free and casein-free. I have tried several of the recipes with varying degrees of acceptance, but the diet change is an adjustment for the entire family and eventually we will all learn to eat gluten-free and casein-free.
Not just for kids March 4, 2008

I bought this book as soon as it came out, because my son (not a child, a young man) had consulted author Dana Laake for help with a healing diet for an autoimmune disease, and her help was invaluable. After reading the book, I felt that there was good reason to use a CF/GF diet just to reorganize my physical system, and so I embarked on it in January 2007. I was 60 pounds overweight when I started the diet. One year later, I was no longer overweight, and had not experienced a bitter battle to diet down to my proper size. I think that is because I did not crave more food than my body needed, and my system returned to health in a gradual but inexorable way.
In September, I stopped in the post office to mail some packages, and a friendly postal employee asked me how I had lost so much weight. She was a very heavy woman who had been trying hard to lose weight and was very discouraged; also her children were worried about her health. I let her borrow my copy of this book and she was pleased and grateful. At Christmas, I gave her a bag of oranges, but didn't see her at that time because she wasn't working that day. I haven't been to that branch in several months, but I stopped by this morning. She came out to the front desk and I hardly recognized her; she looks like she has shed about 40 pounds. She looks more vigorous, younger, and happier. I didn't ask her anything about the weight because I didn't generally like people quizzing me about "how many pounds" and so forth, but I said to her, "Oh it's so nice to see you again, and you look so wonderful!" and she just beamed at me.
The diet is not just a prescription for autistic kids; it is a healthful, satisfying diet that promotes health and life. The book is not just a cookbook, either; it is an invaluable guide to good eating and the habit of health.
Even if you're in perfect health, fit and trim, I recommend this book.
