Special Diets for Special Kids
By Lisa Lewis
First Runner-Up in the Writers Notes Book Awards, this highly acclaimed book has been helping children and adults with autism, ADHD, Celiac disease, and other disorders since 1998. In a nutshell, certain enzymes are required to break down gluten and casein. If the enzymes that normally break down casein and gluten don’t function well, serious neurological problems can result.
Studies have shown that children with autism have a marked deficiency of these enzymes, so gluten-fee casein-free (GFCF) diets have yielded positive results for many children. This book—part medical treatise, part cookbook—teaches how to make GFCF entrees, breads, desserts, and many other foods the entire family will enjoy eating.
