If you've ever thought that providing your kids with nutritious and
delicious gluten- and casein-free meals is too much for you to handle
-- it isn't. It's easier than you think, and it can actually be made
into fun for you and your child. This book shows you how.
If you are a parent of one of the millions
of children diagnosed with autism or attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD) you've, undoubtedly spent countless hours searching for
answers -- things you can do to help your child thrive. Fortunately,
your search may soon be over, thanks to recent discoveries connecting
the food children eat to improved brain function.
Common to both autism and ADHD is the negative impact certain foods --
especially milk products and glutens -- have on your child. These
ingredients are seemingly everywhere, though, and one of the challenges
you are likely coping with is how to deal with a child who has a picky
appetite and craves the very foods that negatively affect his or her
behavior, focus, and development. The other significant challenge you
are coming to grips with is finding ways to get your child to eat
healthy foods.
This unique guide and cookbook not only provides gluten- and
casein-free recipes and healthful substitutes, but also offers useful
suggestions for feeding the picky eater, and simple techniques for
starting and maintaining healthy eating habits. The authors also share
details about how and why the diet works, and explain how to find and
use the specialty ingredients you see in supermarkets everywhere.
And if that's not enough, you'll also find testimonials from parents
and children themselves -- more than enough proof that healthy eating
habits and improved health are within reach.
