Being a parent of a child with gluten intolerance involves making permanent changes in lifestyle and especially in nutrition in order to offer your child the best possible quality of life.

It is not an easy task, but with the right information from specialists it is possible to provide an optimal diet for the child's health.

When diagnosed with celiac disease, your child's body will reject any food containing gluten. If consumed, it causes damage to the mucosa of the small intestine and the intestinal villi.

Therefore, the only way to prevent children from being affected is to eliminate from their diet all foods containing this protein.

How to raise your gluten intolerant child?

In today's post we will tell you about some keys that you can implement in the upbringing of your gluten intolerant children:

Family education and awareness is fundamental.

It is not about hiding foods, but teaching them to classify and distinguish them. It is also important to inform the rest of the environment such as relatives, teachers of the child's problem to prevent the child from consuming any food that may cause discomfort.

De-dramatize the disease

Avoid by all means making your child feel as if he/she is different or strange, and at any social event he/she is invited to, prepare snacks and attractive products to substitute the general menu offered.

Teach your child to recognize foods

A good option is to separate foods with gluten from those suitable for coeliacs on different shelves, as well as to use special utensils to avoid contamination with gluten.

Above all, it is important to have the guidance and support of doctors and nutritionists following their recommendations to promote the health of your son or daughter with this condition.

At Gluten Not Included we care about your child's health and that is why we take care of every ingredient we use in the preparation of our cakes and cookies to offer rich and healthy desserts.
