Book Review: GFCF Dietary Therapy-A Valuable Intervention!
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend Lisa Lewis' book, "Special Diets For Special Kids". The book offers a valuable overview of this dietary intervention which has helped to improve the lives of many, many children.Ms. Lewis' book provides answers to many questions parents may have about the diet. It is a wonderful resource of information for anyone who is considering the GFCF Diet or has already begun. The book also contains over 150 wonderful recipes that are gluten and casein free.
Growing numbers of parents continue to report tremendous improvement in their ASD children. They are attributing the GFCF Diet Therapy as one of the most important interventions they have used to help improve the lives of their children. Whether you use this therapy alone or along with other interventions, this book is indispensable.

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: Great starting place!
Summary: 4 Stars
This was the first book I read before starting the GFCF diet. It gave a ton of information. Some easy to understand, some, I hate to admit, went over my head unless I really had the opportunity to concentrate! The one thing I strongly disagree with is the assertion that this diet is not much more expensive than what you're spending now in cow's milk, etc. It totally is- even if you bake from scratch. All the specialty flours, etc. really add up. The switch to rice milk is a bleep on the checkbook balance compared to the switch to gluten free cooking and eating.
All in all, I'm very happy with this book. Some recipes are better than others, but the wealth of over all information in this book is great. I would definitely do a search for better prices, though! I found it for around $30.
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.
