| Not for the parent looking for real information | 2010-08-23 | 1 / 5 |
| | This book doesn't really contain information as much as it reads like a scolding mother who has become OCD about GFCF. I wouldn't recommend this book for someone who is looking for real information about the diet. The author is too concerned that gluten flour particles are going to land on her child, recommending sterilizing toys that are touched by non-gfcf hands and I found it, IMHO, to basically be a rant without many of her sentences to be supported by true information. I understand that naysayers of the diet have made people defensive but this books is one of the reasons why there are naysayers. Support your arguments with the information available... There are much better books that do this! |
| I Wish I had have read this sooner | 2010-08-08 | 5 / 5 |
| This is a fantastic book. With 2 young children including a 6 yr old with Aspergers I find it difficult to really get into a books. I am happy to report that this is an easy read and provides a lot of practical information for parents.
I had started to change everyones diet prior to reading this book. I now have a better insight into the diet and also realise that small changes we have seen can be attributed to the diet. We will continue on this journey and look forward to implementing many of the fantastic ideas in this book.

| A must for parents looking for natural, practical answers | 2010-07-09 | 5 / 5 |
| My family just recently moved back from Costa Rica to Florida to live with family after realizing that our daughter Riley needed more resources for symptoms we were seeing(she was about 16 months when I think we first started noticing).
As an educator, I was familiar with autism and the behaviors present. I was a strict vegan when I was pregnant with Riley and maintained a nutrition based approach to both my personal health care and the health care of my family.
I began researching autism and links to nutrition and dietary issues and read this book.
I wish I had copies to hand out to the grandparents, other parents in my childs' playgroup, and health care providers within this field. I take my copy of the book with me when meeting with individuals who are involved in my childs recovery. I believe the info in the book to be one of the only sources of unbiased, nutrition based, and holistic centered sources out there. I highly reccommend this book to anyone frustrated with the current treatment program for their child and ready to start recovery.

| Love the diet, not the book | 2010-05-21 | 3 / 5 |
| We read both this book and The Kid-Friendly ADHD & Autism Cookbook when embarking 3 months ago on our gluten-free, casein-free diet for our 3 year old daughter, diagnosed with autism. The effects of the diet were immediately apparently. While I was skeptical about its possible positive influence (b/c my dd didn't suffer from the frequent ear infections, bowel problems, or infections that others seem to have cured by the diet), the results were almost miraculous. Contrary to the withdrawal symptoms the author describes, my usually lethargic daughter actually became quite hyperactive for the first week or two. Then, it evened out and suddenly, she's having conversations (although she was always verbal, it was very scripted and was mostly manding, which was a vast improvement over the small vocabulary she had when diagnosed-->thanks to a year's worth of ABA therapy). She told her first joke. Within the same week or two, she quit using her pacifier at night and started sleeping soundly. Her occupational therapist told me 5 weeks in that my dd was a completely different girl. She was focused, on task (at least for that session for the first time) and cooperated throughout the hour long session. No, her autism wasn't cured yet, but the speech improvements, the longer attention spans, her improved social interest, shrunken pot belly, and improved physical coordination over just 3 months, has prompted me to explore biomedical treatments.
My criticisms of the book though is that I think it was incredibly overwhelming and scary for someone who was on the fence like me about embarking on the large burden of transforming their kitchen and cooking. She was almost extremist about her positions--suggesting that you buy entirely separate utensils and appliances. I simply can't afford to do that and implying that not finding success "because I didn't implement the diet fully or correctly or consistently" [paraphrased] hurts more than helps parents who are seeking answers. I would normally knock only one star off for this reason, but because I find so much value in the diet and its miraculous potential for ASD kids, I am further disappointed that the book makes it seem that the only people who pursue this diet are crackpots. I would highly recommend the The Kid-Friendly ADHD & Autism Cookbook; it is much more accessible and even-handed. |
| Loooooooooved it | 2010-03-18 | 5 / 5 |
