Editorial Reviews for The Kid-Friendly ADHD and Autism Cookbook: The Ultimate Guide to the Gluten-Free, Casein-Free Diet
|
|
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.

Summary: Good education on the science, sometimes confusing, recipes pretty good
Comment: This was my first GFCF cookbook, so I really valued that the first chapters focused on the significance of the special diets, the biology and chemistry behind them, testimonials, and even saying the diets didn't work for everyone. On the downside, sometimes the charts provided were a little confusing and I found some conflicting info. On one chart it said to avoid lactose (pg 35), in another section it said lactose is ok in a casein free diet (pg 44). Maybe I missed something. There is a good variety of recipes. It's not just a kid's cookbook. They include everything from making your own pizza crust to asparagus vichyssoise. There are really good dessert recipes too. You may have to go to a specialty store to get some of the ingredients like xanthan gum and ghee. (they didn't have those at my local store anyway) All in all, I think besides looking up the occassional recipe online, this is the only cookbook I'll need.

Summary: The BEST of the kid friendly GFCF cookbooks!
Comment: I have bought 5 different GF/CF books in the last two months for my child who is on the "spectrum". It is not easy to switch to a new diet especially when you have a fussy/picky eater. This book has proven to be the best book that I've bought. The recipes are simple, good, and so far successful! The nutritional information on each recipe is definitely a lot of help including the allergy legend. I do have the Special Diets for Special Kids book (both I & II). They are helpful too; but this book is just presented better (IMHO). We have enjoyed these recipes more too. Also, the book provides numerous ways to sneak in those veggies and fruits which many picky eaters don't want to touch! This is a must buy if you have a difficult toddler who is a picky eater and on a GFCF diet!

Summary: This has been our savior!
Comment: I love this book! My 2-year-old son does not have ADHD or Autism but he does have the same food sensitivities. It has been hard trying to come up with new recipes when everything we used to cook contained cheese or some sort of dairy. Not only do we have more recipes, I also have a better understanding of what food sensitivities are. Our PA has been great in explaining all of this, but I definitely have a better understanding of it all after reading this. And I have more questions for our PA. I had tried Food Allergy Cookbook [Hardcover]By: Lucinda Bruce-Gardyne (Author). Not a good book for Children or anyone with multiple food sensitivities.

Summary: Perfect for beginners and beyond!
Comment: This book is just wonderful. I'm a beginner with this diet, and love the book. Even my friend who has been doing this diet for years found new neat stuff in this book.
Not much else to say, every one else above about said it all. = )Just wanted to add my 2 cents.
