My name is Arman Khodaei, and I was once diagnosed as having autism. I myself have been on a casein free diet for a long period of my life. I run an autism support group, and give many presentations on autism. I’ve had many parents over the years ask me about the GFCF (gluten free, casein-free) diet and the best way to implement it. Finally, a book has been released that fully addresses that questions for parents. I’m a firm believer that diet has a major impact on individuals from both first-hand experience and also from what other parents tell me. I, myself, before going casein free had insane temper tantrums among many other autistic tendencies that once milk was removed from my diet, they greatly calmed. I’ve had parents come to my group and tell me that once they started the GFCF diet that their children were able to verbalize if they were non-verbal among many other improvement in behaviors. Overall, I recommend this book because I believe in it and the GFCF diet.

I read this book in a couple of hours. Once I started,is was like a great mystery, I couldn’t wait til the next chapter. Ms. Silberberg has written a touching, funny and realistic guide that anybody can use and understand. Not only does she give you lists of items you can purchase but she also gives you detailed information about where to find these items. And if that isn’t enough, she has even given us recipes. Forget Jenny’s book, this is the one you need!!!

There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that certain substances such as gluten (present in some grains) and casein (present in dairy) can exacerbate conditions such as autism and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Thus there has begun the elimination diet movement whereby suspected culprit substances are entirely eliminated from the diet.
Barrie Silberberg has written a guidebook to the elimination diet approach that focuses specifically on gluten-free and casein-free (GFCF) living but which includes certain other strategies and resources that need not be tied specifically to the GFCF platform. For example, resources do include GFCF recipes. But they also include more generic elimination diet strategies such as ways to avoid cross-contamination, red flags that one might not consider (culprit substances in cosmetics, medications or pet foods for example), compensating for “lost” nutrition, and the whole concept of substituting acceptable ingredients for those not allowed. In the GFCF universe this translates to versions of cookies, bread, “ice cream” and even play dough that are still possible. Included too are references to companies in the U.S. and abroad that manufacture GFCF and other elimination diet foods. Also here are lists with contact information on related programs, alternative interventions and approaches, support groups, message boards, ListServs and forums not to mention an exhaustive catalog of the many foods in which culprit substances are present. There are even compilations of Silberberg’s own footwork, i.e. lists of individual GFCF products that can be found in regular supermarkets. These lists are based on Silberberg’s own research, label-reading and phone conversations with representatives of various companies.
Finally, let it be noted that Silberberg’s own son is autistic. He, himself, has been on the GFCF elimination diet since he was seven years old. While he was in elementary school, his parents were told he must leave the school or else enroll in either the class for the severely emotionally disturbed or the one for those suffering moderate to severe autistism. Yet by the time he reached middle school, he was an award-winning honors student. The final chapter of this book was written by him.

I just wanted to share a HUGE public thank you to Barrie. We just went gf/cf and I have to say your book was an answer to my prayers. While that might sound corny to some, those of you who are new or remember how daunting it was to begin this diet it is an accurate response because it offer hope and direction. Even the very beginning questions part was seriously all the questions I had been trying to wrap my brain around. What I love most is that it broke the diet down and gave me a plan to begin and not feel overwhelmed. I also appreciate the info about additives and food dyes and colorings and how to get those out of your diet too. My only “negative” comment…is that I didn’t purchase the book sooner. This would also be a great read for family and friends who are wanting to understand more about gluten and casein, etc. Thank you Barrie and my family thanks you too. Sincerely, Kelly Cooper

This book is an excellent resource. It explains the basics of the GFCF diet as well as listing links on where to find additional information and products. This would be a great gift for someone just starting out with the GFCF diet and for explaining the diet in understandable terms to family members who have questions about the hows and why’s of GFCF. The book is great for parents with experience with the GFCF diet, too. I wish I had this book when we first changed our diet! Barrie does an amazing job of explaining a sometimes complicated subject in understandable terminology. (For example, she walks the reader through the basics of label reading which for most people can be overwhelming in the beginning). I can’t recommend this book enough!
