Book Reviews of The Kid-Friendly ADHD & Autism Cookbook, Updated and Revised: The Ultimate Guide to the Gluten-Free, Casein-Free Diet

Book Review: a good start
Summary: 5 Stars

I find this book encouraging as a mother of 3 children. It's nice to have some ideas of how to introduce change into the family diet. It's tailored to parents of young childen, but I use it for children ages 5,8,10. The explanation of the theories is practical. I also bought Kenneth Boch's book, but this is the answer to the "what can I feed them?" question. He just says, eat meat and potatoes,no biggie.

I live outside of the USA, so many of the recipies have to be adapted futher still. But just reading through the text with the blurbs on the side is so encouraging that I recommend the book to all parents, whether or not they are ADHD.

The interesting aspect of the gluten-casein free diet is that although I'm not sure my son is acutally intolerant of gluten, the diet is acutally healthier than the traditional white bread meals that I often serve. Cooking this way may produce more wellness as a whole due to the fact that I'm using vegetables and whole foods as a base instead of highly processed items. We all benefit from whole foods and less "cheap calories."

I'm glad I have this background information. It's a helpful start to those interested in alternative treatments. Perhaps all of it isn't true, but why not give it a shot?


Summary of The Kid-Friendly ADHD & Autism Cookbook, Updated and Revised: The Ultimate Guide to the Gluten-Free, Casein-Free Diet

"Pam and Dana know what works for kids.This book is a fantastic resource for the diets that make a difference. Follow their advice!!" --Jenny McCarthy, author of Louder Than Words and Mother Warriors

The best "kid-friendly" recipes and guide to the gluten-free, milk-free diet for ADHD and autism just got better. In addition to updates on new research and findings, readers will find recommendations from the authors for packing school lunches and snacks, plus 100 brand new recipes!

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.
