Great Information
I found this book to be extremely informative and would recommend it to anyone considering a special diet.

Great starting place!
This was the first book I read before starting the GFCF diet. It gave a ton of information. Some easy to understand, some, I hate to admit, went over my head unless I really had the opportunity to concentrate! The one thing I strongly disagree with is the assertion that this diet is not much more expensive than what you're spending now in cow's milk, etc. It totally is- even if you bake from scratch. All the specialty flours, etc. really add up. The switch to rice milk is a bleep on the checkbook balance compared to the switch to gluten free cooking and eating.
All in all, I'm very happy with this book. Some recipes are better than others, but the wealth of over all information in this book is great. I would definitely do a search for better prices, though! I found it for around $30.

Book Price Point
Book #1 - Special Diets for Special Kids is available at AUTISM TODAY for $29.95. I don't understand the $92 charge listed by Amazon...when they have Special Diets for Special Kids TWO available for $19.95.
