(More customer reviews)As a parent of a child with a special need -- Global Developmental delays-- we've been searching for over 5 years for options that would help unlockthe key to Emily's potential.This book has done more for us in the past 5months since we've been following the diet than the last 5+ years ofsearching!The areas where we have seen the biggest improvement for ourdaughter has been in the area of verbalization, stabilization and cognitiveskills -- since going on the diet.
3 years ago we were told by aphysician in Utah that Emily should be on a yeast free diet and were giventhe title of a book to follow, but we found the book too complicated tofollow.Feast Without Yeast is easy to ready and easy to follow.We'vemade copies of the allowed & disallowed list from the 4 stagesidentified in the book and distributed them to her teachers, therapists andchild care providers.The guidelines are clear and simple.
The bookgives us good ideas for meals to prepare and we've been able to build onthat and create an environment in our kitchen where most food at ourfingertips is within Emily's guidelines. The way we've begun to look atthis way of eating is that if you just think about all that's availablethat is healthy and without preservatives, you learn to substitute forthings that are no longer allowed.Most grocery stores carry many of theitems in the book. The phasing in from stage 1 to stage 4 made itpossible to ease into the change within her diet, without the huge shock wewould have experienced to just go cold turkey.
I've found the recipesto prepare and very tasty (the cauliflower soup is EXCELLENT! -- 4ingredients!!!)The food that's allowed on her diet is no more difficultto prepare than the food we were serving before -- fast food is pretty muchout, but we're all healthier because of that.Even when going out to eat,we are able to identify things on the restaurant's menu that is included inthe allowed list -- when we are not sure, the restaurants have been willingto supply us with ingredients lists and help us to select items withinEmily's diet.
The pages on my Feast Without Yeast book are bent andcurled due to constant use.I take it with me when I shop and have sharedthe title and contents with many, many people.
I highly recommend thisbook to any parent who has a child with a special need.It gives yousomething that you can take into your own hands to make a HUGE differencein your child's life.It's making a HUGE difference in Emily's life (she's7 years old), and I believe we've only scratched the surface of what'spossible!
