Book Reviews of Special Diets for Special Kids
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: Not what I wanted.
Summary: 2 Stars
My husband ordered this book when we decided to put my son on a gluten-free diet. I was looking mainly for a gluten-free cookbook with some helpful hints included. Half the book is about the author's story and theories about why the diets in this book should be followed. For the most part I don't agree with her theories. The cookbook part is okay but so far has not really been the taste of my family. Also there are a lot of recipes for muffins and desserts which I don't really need because stores have a lot of gluten-free snacks. I am really looking for more meals I can cook my family.Book Review: Good resource for starting the gluten/casein free diet
Summary: 4 Stars
This was an excellent start to understand the gluten/casein free diet for children with autism and other special needs. The background information was a little complicated for people who are not in the medical field. However, the basic steps were concise and easy to follow. I especially like the recipes in the back of the book and use them often. There is also excellent resources and contact information in the book. These dietary interventions should be tried by every autistic person. It has changed my son (and my)life! Thank you Lisa Lewis!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.
