So you are ready to take the plunge – Good for you!
The first thing I recommend you do is to sign up for the GFCF kids yahoo group. These moms are in the trenches with you 24 -7. This is the best place to ask ANY question GFCF and get quick answers. I spent at least 9 months reading every single post every day. It is what kept me sane and plugging along.
Next go to the local library or book store and parooze the latest GFCF books on the market (They are in the parenting section.) My current favorite is:
The Kid Friendly ADHD & Autism Cookbook by Pamela Compart
For me, this is a 2010 version of the GFCF classic Special Diets for Special kids. It is informative, written well, well designed and pulls you in. It covers the basics of GFCF and touches on the other popular diets and treatments out there.
I also like that it ties ADHD and autism together. The GFCF diet is not the autism diet. It works on the whole spectrum from sensory processing disorder to ADHD to autism.
I have made recipes from this book and they are kid approoved!
