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?

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.

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.

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!

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.
