Product Description

"Pam and Dana know what works for kids…This book is a fantastic resource for the diets that make a difference. Follow their advice!!" --Jenny McCarthy, author of Louder Than Words and Mother Warriors

The best “kid-friendly” recipes and guide to the gluten-free, milk-free diet for ADHD and autism just got better. In addition to updates on new research and findings, readers will find recommendations from the authors for packing school lunches and snacks, plus 100 brand new recipes!

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.

5 out of 5 stars a good start   February 18, 2010
Becky A. Skillin (Quito, Ecuador, South America)
I find this book encouraging as a mother of 3 children. It's nice to have some ideas of how to introduce change into the family diet. It's tailored to parents of young childen, but I use it for children ages 5,8,10. The explanation of the theories is practical. I also bought Kenneth Boch's book, but this is the answer to the "what can I feed them?" question. He just says, eat meat and potatoes,no biggie.

I live outside of the USA, so many of the recipies have to be adapted futher still. But just reading through the text with the blurbs on the side is so encouraging that I recommend the book to all parents, whether or not they are ADHD.

The interesting aspect of the gluten-casein free diet is that although I'm not sure my son is acutally intolerant of gluten, the diet is acutally healthier than the traditional white bread meals that I often serve. Cooking this way may produce more wellness as a whole due to the fact that I'm using vegetables and whole foods as a base instead of highly processed items. We all benefit from whole foods and less "cheap calories."

I'm glad I have this background information. It's a helpful start to those interested in alternative treatments. Perhaps all of it isn't true, but why not give it a shot?





4 out of 5 stars So happy I purchased this book   December 20, 2009
Melinda M. Mizrachi (Florida)
I have an autistic son and I wanted to see if by changing his diet he would calm down a little bit and start focusing and sure enough within one week I started to see a huge difference in my son. He is now speaking a lot more clearer and almost starting to say sentences. He is a lot more calmer and a lot more focus. I am so glad I purchased this book.


5 out of 5 stars Great Cookbook for the non-cook!   December 8, 2009

1 out of 1 found this review helpful

What I like about this book are the cooking hints for novices in the kitchen - like me. Lots of tables for substitutions, source of food products that are off limits - hidden in labels. Probably what I liked best were the suggestions on how to hide veggies in foods - as my little guy is a very picky eater. It is a nice complement to Barrie's book.


5 out of 5 stars easy to understand   October 22, 2009
C. Drew (Phila)
As a Nurse and someone who has been to ARI nutrition conference, this book clearly and easily explains the leaky gut theory and how diet,enzymes, vitamins and supplements should help. I browsed through the recipes although have not tried any yet. But the few I saw looked easy and possibly tasty! I am going slow on the diet, since I tried 3 years ago and was god-aweful trying to find carbs that tasted good. Now focusing on decreasing sugar, and casein products and trying MVI and fish oils 1st. Enzymes ill be tested in a week or two.
Good luck to all you parents!


5 out of 5 stars Love it Love it Love it   October 15, 2009
Lindsay Phillips (Cedar Falls, IA)
I love this book. In fact I have given all of my current copies away to families in need and will definitely be purchasing more. I love the variety of recipies and the descriptions provided in easy to read format for all audiences.
