Busy Mom's Dairy-Free SCD Cookbook with Honey Sweetened Recipes

Busy Mom's Dairy-Free SCD Cookbook with Honey Sweetened Recipes is a cookbook and resource guide for parents of children with autistic spectrum disorders. It is of particular interest to parents already using the Gluten-Free Casein-Free diet and considering a GFCF version of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. The book documents some of our family's experiences and attempts to help our autistic son, Matthew. Our book records important variations and adaptations of recipes we found to be unworkable for a variety of reasons. Most often, a recipe's taste or texture was unacceptable in its original form and we endured a great deal of trial-and-error to find the solutions set forth in our book. The biggest obstacles we faced: creating recipes that were both GFCF and SCD compliant, and sweetening desserts with honey. While the book focuses on recipes for special diets, we did not apply these diets by themselves. Consequently, the book includes other ideas and techniques that worked well for us. Our response to Autism has been rigorous adherence to very strict diets while using tools like weighted vests and special cushions. The foods and ideas discussed here may not help every child but they were very successful with our son. We believe this book covers the key concepts which took our son from a state of autistic incapacitation to an A and B student. It is our hope this small book may help other parents in situations similar to ours.
