Book Reviews of Special Diets for Special Kids
Book Review: Science + Food = Healthy Kids
Summary: 4 Stars
It's books like this that make me realize organic chemistry really would have been a good class to finish. If I had known then that I would someday have a kid on the spectrum, I would have. This is a fantastic first dive into the science of the gut of ASD kids explaining the hows and whys of the GFCF diet along with lots of other important things like leaky guts and the evils of partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. The first half of the book is science class and the second is some great recipes. This is a very important book to own if you're serious about going GFCF - I reference it often. It even includes recipes for holiday dishes like matzo balls and thanksgiving stuffing. My only complaint is the lack of index for the recipes. Other than that, this is a great book!Book Review: OK peoples ! If you have a child on the spectrum - its time!
Summary: 5 Stars
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!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!
