Review of The Kid-Friendly ADHD and Autism Cookbook: The Ultimate Guide to the Gluten-Free, Casein-Free Diet (Hardcover)

I am still a bit of a novice when it comes to cooking GFCF, we have only been following this diet for a few months now, but this book makes it easy to create meals and snacks that my children will eat.The Wonderful Waffles recipe is better that anything you will find in the freezer section of your local grocery store-GFCF or otherwise-and there are lots of tips & tricks to get more nutrients into your kids.Not only are the recipes good, the info presented on the diet is done in an easy-to-read format.It is all explained in great detail, how it works and why it works.Also, at the top of each recipe, there is a key that shows which allergens are present, a real time-saver for those of us dealing with multiple food sensitivities-you know at a glance.Overall, I am happy with my purchase, I would recommend it to others, especially if you are just starting out on the GFCF diet & need some guidance.

Product Description
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.
