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.

 The Kid Friendly ADHD Cookbook is Kid Friendly May 7, 2008
Karen A. Peale (Southern NJ, USA)
I bought the cookbook because I have a child with ADHD and other issues. The chicken nuggets are quite tasty. I've also tried the frutie smoothie. It addresses issues of the five sense with food, which is terrific because if you have a child with these issues, there are many suggestions on how to get around them. I am trying the diet for my son and we'll see how it goes. There is a fair amount of recipes, but I think that the recipe section could have been more expansive and less "information" in the front of the book. There is at least 50 pages of why you should do this diet which I'm not sure was necessary. This is why I gave four stars instead of 5. The recipes I have tried are good.
 BEST COOKBOOK YET! April 20, 2008
B. Dowling (South Jersey)
We have been on a GFCF diet for six months. I am always looking for new recipes. I wish this was the first cookbook I had purchased because I would have saved myself a lot of money and wasted ingredients by not having to purchase the other not-so-good cookbooks. This cookbook has a wonderful variety of recipes and lots of helpful hints and tips. You will not regret this purchase!
Fast Delivery - Great Book - Easy Recipes April 1, 2008
D. Reilly (Myrtle Beach, SC)
Rec'd the book fast .... was just as described. Have not had a change to read it - but in browsing through it see alot of very easy recipes that kids will enjoy if they need to be on this diet.
Great book to have! March 25, 2008
Crystal Conard (Wiggins, MS)
My son just started the GFCF diet and this book is excellent in explaining how the body works when breaking down these different types of food. It also gives you lists of products to watch for hidden ingredients. The recipes sound great but I haven't had a chance to try them yet.
A Must-have for the Overwhelmed Family Cook March 18, 2008
R. Riley (Texas)
This book is very informative as to why diet modifications are so critical for children with ADHD and Autism. I was completely overwhelmed by the challenge of diet change and cooking gluten-free and casein-free. I have tried several of the recipes with varying degrees of acceptance, but the diet change is an adjustment for the entire family and eventually we will all learn to eat gluten-free and casein-free.
