Reviews

[Lindsay Lock · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good overview and suggestions for parents getting their kids on the GFCF diet. I wish it went over a bit more about the merits of the diet (how to know if your kids are sensitive to gluten and casein). Good recipes included as well references to foods to avoid when trying out the GFCF diet.
