About this product

Product Information

'Lisa Lewis' contribution to the understanding of biomedical aspects of autism has been considerable. Her informative booklet An Experimental Intervention for Autism combined scientific principles with practical advice for parents in a very readable way. Its availability on the Internet has made it one of the most widely read and influential pieces ever written on autism. Her new book also concentrates on the practical applications of knowledge and understanding. It is well researched, well written and very much needed.'- Paul Shattock, Autism Research Unit, University of SunderlandLisa Lewis explains, in this easy-to-read and accessible book, how and why to implement a dietary intervention strategy for helping children and adults with autism. Drawing upon her own success with removing gluten and casein from her son's diet, she answers the many questions parents and professionals might have about choosing a dietary intervention. Why choose a special diet? Are there tests to help me decide? Is there research to support this type of intervention? Will my child starve? What do I cook?In addition, she provides over 150 good-tasting recipes to get started on the diet -everything from spaghetti and meatballs to holiday treats and sweets and edible clay!

"What will change, and is changing, the minds of the medical establishment is activist efforts by intelligent, well-informed and highly motivated parents like Mary Callahan, Lisa Lewis and many others. . . ." Dr. Bernard Rimland, Autism Research Institute , "Lisa Lewis' contribution to the understanding of biomedical aspects of autism have been considerable. . . . Her new book also concentrates on the practical applications of knowledge and understanding. It is well-researched, well written, and very much needed." Paul Shattock, Autism Research Unit, University of Sunderland, Sunderland, England , "The writings of Lisa Lewis have made a huge impact on the field of autism. As an educator and a parent, Dr. Lewis has been instrumental in describing the issues of gluten and casein sensitivities, and how these problems affect the behavior of autistic individuals. She has changed the lives of many autistic individuals and their families. Through this book, Dr. Lewis will likely change the lives of many others." Stephen Edelson, PhD, Director, Center for the Study of Autism, Salem, OR

Special Diets for Special Kids
I just got this book and so far am very impressed with the amount of information and the wealth of recipes. She gives specific lists on what is allowable and what is to be avoided on the GFCF diet. She gives stories of other families and how this diet worked for their autistic kids. I would highly recommend spending the extra money to find the spiral-bound hardcover version because this will make cooking from the recipes much easier and will last a lot longer. She also includes forms to be able to track your childs reactions and progress before the diet and after it has been implemented. She has a good appendix with recommneded websites, products and books. You will not regret this purchase especially if you are transferring to a Gluten/Casein Free diet. Jessica

Special Diets for Special Kids
Another favorable review of Lisa Lewis' book on the subject of avoiding foods with milk and milk by products and wheat products on the health and behavior of children with Autism. Even if your family does not have a member with Autism it is a great resource for cooking for people with Celiac Disease. Great food and easy recipes to follow.

Your 1st stop to gluten-free & cassein-free living!
This book, like many others, gives the reasons why to do the diet. Along with many technical terms, it gives layman's terms as well. When I saw some of the symptoms my own kids have, I decided not only to buy but also to give this diet a try! While we haven't moved to all gluten free yet, my prayer is that someday soon we will and begin healing for my kids. The recipes are layed out very simply & look to be delicous. Give it a try thru your local library first & then buy after you see how good of a resource/cookbook it is.

perfect for autism and celiac!
My 3 kids all have special needs.This book is Terrific for people starting the GF diet!There is not only recipes,but the conversions are in there.Like insted of wheat flour use potaoe flour w/guar gum(at most health food stores).They also have tons of subtitutes that are readily available.This is a MUST have for anyone starting the GF diet. I would NOT recomend it for someone who has been on the diet for awile.It is a perfect beginers book!!

A Must Have Book!
An absolutely MUST have book if you have a child that needs a gluten and casein free diet, or for parents of autistic children. My son is not autistic, but preservatives, colorings, gluten and casein seem to drastically affect his behavior. The information and recipes are EXCELLENT! You will not be disappointed with this book!
