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 Great book   August 17, 2010
Pamela
Love all the in depth information in the beginning of the book! Who knew that vinegar and artificial flavor have gluten? There are so many similar useful pieces of information. I have not gotten to the recipes yet because I am reading 4 books at one time! But this book is excellent so far. They leave no stone unturned and if you are trying to seriously follow a GF/CF diet, it is essential to have all the facts.


1 out of 5 stars Questionable Science, Questionable References   August 15, 2010

0 out of 1 found this review helpful

1. The initial part of the book, devoted to the "science" of nutrition and ADHD, is not footnoted or referenced. Where did this information come from, and who did the relevant studies?
2. In the bibliography, Dr. Compart references Russell Barkley's Taking Charge of ADHD. In that book Dr. Barkley refutes any connection between diet and ADHD. He writes, "We have wasted enough valuable scientific time, resources, money, and manhours investigating unfounded claims about diet that could have been better spent pursuing more promising lines of scientific inquiry on ADHD." Why did she reference a book that contradicts her own work?
3. At the end of the book, Dr. Compart's co-author, Dana Laake, writes a glowing endorsement of Dr. Jeffrey Bland, who is touted as a leader in nutritional biochemistry. According to [...], since 1991 the FTC and the FDA have cited Dr. Bland (or companies he has been associated with) for making unsubstantiated claims for weight loss products and "medical foods."

Try my child on Dr. Compart's diet? I think not.


5 out of 5 stars Exactly what I was looking for   July 22, 2010
Gail Finucan (Calif. USA)
This book is perfect for my family's needs! We recently had to go on an elimination diet and I was struggling to find recipes my son could eat! The recipes in this book are great. There is a wide variety and each one includes descriptions and/or explanations of ingredients. Tips for "hiding" added nutrients into meals for picky eaters are also added. The first portion of the book contains an extremely helpful and informative discussion of a multitude of dietary sensitivities, intolerances, and allergies in an easy to read way. There is an ingredient key at the top of each recipe with images of the common allergenic ingredients that are contained or not contained in the recipe. So, at a glance, you can see whether a recipe is one you can use or need to modify. Well written and put together, excellent cookbook!


4 out of 5 stars good suggestions for hiding nutrition in kid food   July 20, 2010
Busy Mom
The gluten free, casein free diet didn't work for my son and it was very expensive to follow, but at least I learned how to use more vegetables in my cooking. Next time I'll get "Deceptively Delicious" for more healthy kid-friendly recipes.

This book has been really helpful for our family in getting started on a gluten free, casein free, soy free diet. There are lots of ideas in here that toddlers and preschoolers will actually eat and the tips for sensory eaters were great. My children have really liked the fish pockets, the roasted turkey breast, the coconut rice and one of the quinoa recipes especially. One thing I would like to see added is a section of 'no cook' ideas - you aren't always going to be cooking when your kids are hungry. Some things we have liked is to take thin apple or banana slices and make them into peanut butter sandwiches, mash up pinto beans to dip corn chips in, roll up a corn tortilla with a piece of deli meat...I bet there are a whole lot more other GFCF families have figured out that could be added.
