Book Review: Special Diets for Special Kids
This was another good diet book. It explained a lot of the nutrient factors affecting autism and other spectrum disorders. A very good reference book. She discusses various vitamins and minerals, etc that help and what they do. She explains which ones would need to be under a doctor's supervision.
She had a very good review of the Feingold Diet, again with some scientific information to explain a bit how it works. Again, tying in with the PST deficiency and Phenols.
Good information on tests, dealing with doctors, etc. Includes some charts for documenting before and after behaviour to help convince doctors that it really is working, etc.
The second half of the book is GFCF recipes. She makes notes about how you can adapt the recipes if you are avoiding things like corn, soy, etc. Most of the recipes are FG ok. It even includes one recipe from the Feingold material. The author is Jewish so lots of recipes for Jewish Holidays and tradional Jewish fare, which is something that I haven't seen in the other books I have read.
Though the focus is somewhat GFCF, this is a good book to research nutrient therapy in general. The advise is not exclusive to the GFCF. Another highly recommended book!

Book Review: Living Gluten Free for Dummies
This was a good book to start my research into Gluten Free living. It definitely is a good book for encouragement! The author is very enthusiastic about the Gluten Free lifestyle, so while she understands and gives you suggestions for dealing with the emotional obstacles of embracing this lifestyle, she presents it in a very good light.
There are lots of good tips in here to diagnosis, shopping, eating out, helping kids embrace the lifesytle, dealing with friends and family, cooking, etc. A great book for anyone who must eat Gluten Free.
I also thought that the book would be a good encouragement for those of us on the Feingold Diet, or anyone who is constantly reading labels and who must deal with a restricted diet that causes issues when eating out or dining with others. I loved the line about how when a product says "new and improved" that is is really a euphamism for "now you definitely need to check ingredients -again- because we have changed our formula". So true! The description of the "flip-scan" method of shopping was humorous. Yep, definitely how I shop! Grab an item, flip it over, scan ingredients. Either replace quickly or leap for joy and add to cart! LOLI also liked finding there is a name for those of us with an "extreme desire to only eath health foods", orthorexia. Anyway, the tips on dealing with resturaunts, less then helpful friends, social situations, reading labels, calling manufactures, helping kids take control of their diet, etc those are good for anyone on a restrictive diet.
The book also goes into glycemic index, the "Caveman Diet" and eating healthy on the gluten free diet. One thing that detracted from the book was her belief in evolution and her belief that man did not always eat wheat, that it was not always around. Sorry, can't buy that. But, beyond that, I found it to be very informative. Lots of websites, suggestions, helpful tips, etc.
If you have Celiac Disease, Gluten Intolerance, Diabetes, Fibromyaliga, Chronic Fatigue, IBS, autism, any autoimmune disease, etc this would be a good book to check out. There are so many things that can be helped by this diet. And this book is a great place to start.
