Special Diets for Special Kids

Updated Gluten-Free, Casein-Free Recipes You'll Love

Beschreibung

"Praised as a modern-day classic by celebrities and readers all over the world, the first edition of Special Diets for Special Kids has been helping children and adults with autism, ADHD, celiac disease, and other disorders since 1998. This 25th anniversary edition includes new cooking techniques (think Instant Pot), new recipes, and new research. Lisa Lewis' short anecdotes at the beginning of many of the recipes make for entertaining reading. Lewis' son has autism and has been on a GFCF diet for many years. The author has a talent for explaining the scientific basis of digestive and absorptive problems in autistic children in ways that are easy for overwhelmed parents to understand. The first part of the book describes dietary intervention in detail, explaining the scientific rationale for special diets in understandable language. In a nutshell, certain enzymes are required to break down gluten and casein. If those enzymes don't function well, or are not present at sufficient levels, serious neurological problems can result. Studies have shown that children with autism have a marked deficiency of these enzymes, which may explain why GFCF diets have yielded positive results for many children. The second part of the contains more than 200 easy-to-follow recipes, including many you never thought possible on a GFCF diet"--

Autor

An anthropologist by training, Lisa Lewis was a member of Princeton University's computing center staff for a number of years. Her interest in autism began in 1991, when her son was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified (PDDNOS). In 1993, she became interested in dietary interventions, and she wrote the first edition of Special Diets for Special Kids in 2011. From 1999-2010 Lisa and co-founder Karyn Seroussi ran ANDI, the Autism Network for Dietary Intervention. ANDI provided support and information to parents around the world who wanted to use dietary intervention, at a time when there was little such help available. Their research on dietary intervention began with the effort to help their own children, and led to the formation of ANDI and the publication of a quarterly newsletter. The ANDI News had thousands of subscribers and ultimately led to their collaboration on The Encyclopedia of Dietary Intervention. Now retired empty nesters, Lisa and her husband, Serge Goldstein, live in New Jersey with their dog, Murphy. They travel extensively and pursue many hobbies. Sam, now 34, lives in a nearby group home with three other young men, and is a regular and constant presence in their lives.
