(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 unlock the key to Emily's potential. This book has done more for us in the past 5 months since we've been following the diet than the last 5+ years of searching! The areas where we have seen the biggest improvement for our daughter has been in the area of verbalization, stabilization and cognitive skills -- since going on the diet.
3 years ago we were told by a physician in Utah that Emily should be on a yeast free diet and were given the title of a book to follow, but we found the book too complicated to follow. Feast Without Yeast is easy to ready and easy to follow. We've made copies of the allowed & disallowed list from the 4 stages identified in the book and distributed them to her teachers, therapists and child care providers. The guidelines are clear and simple.
The book gives us good ideas for meals to prepare and we've been able to build on that and create an environment in our kitchen where most food at our fingertips is within Emily's guidelines. The way we've begun to look at this way of eating is that if you just think about all that's available that is healthy and without preservatives, you learn to substitute for things that are no longer allowed. Most grocery stores carry many of the items in the book. The phasing in from stage 1 to stage 4 made it possible to ease into the change within her diet, without the huge shock we would have experienced to just go cold turkey.
I've found the recipes to prepare and very tasty (the cauliflower soup is EXCELLENT! -- 4 ingredients!!!) The food that's allowed on her diet is no more difficult to prepare than the food we were serving before -- fast food is pretty much out, 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 in the allowed list -- when we are not sure, the restaurants have been willing to supply us with ingredients lists and help us to select items within Emily's diet.
The pages on my Feast Without Yeast book are bent and curled due to constant use. I take it with me when I shop and have shared the title and contents with many, many people.
I highly recommend this book to any parent who has a child with a special need. It gives you something that you can take into your own hands to make a HUGE difference in your child's life. It's making a HUGE difference in Emily's life (she's 7 years old), and I believe we've only scratched the surface of what's possible!
