What is the GF/CF diet? Does it work? What's it like to go on it?
In this user guide to the gluten and casein free diet, Luke
Jackson, who is 12 years old and has Asperger Syndrome, tells you
everything you need to know - both good and bad. The details of his
first-hand experience of the diet show how it has improved the
quality both of his own life and that of other members of the
family. Jacqui Jackson, Luke's mother, decided to try the diet for
Luke and his two brothers - Joe who has AD/HD and Ben who has
autism - and found the results to be highly rewarding: as Luke
says, the diet `really can change people's lives'. Luke offers
practical advice on topics such as what to expect when beginning
the diet, tips for how to alleviate any initial discomfort, through
to advice on how to rearrange the kitchen to avoid-cross
contamination. The book includes quotes from other members of the
family, a chapter by Luke's mother on how to cope with the
challenges of cooking for a family where some people are on the
diet and others are not, along with a selection of the family's
favourite recipes. An extensive list of useful addresses and
websites of suppliers, a food diary for an average week, and
suggestions for packed lunches are also included, making the book a
really practical source of information. Luke's message is one of
unfailing encouragement. Despite the downsides, he and his family
have no regrets about going on the diet. This positive and honest
book is an important source of encouragement and advice for people
whose lives are touched by autism, AS or AD/HD, for parents
considering implementing the diet with their children, and for
anyone on the diet, young or old.
