Communication: a key element if you have a child with celiac disease

Gluten Not Included is an excellent option for all children who suffer from gluten intolerance. The ingredients of our delicious cookies and pastries are carefully selected to be free of this protein.





The diagnosis of a child with celiac disease in the home is not an easy thing to handle. As parents, we always want our children to be healthy and enjoy the fullness of life, especially at a young age when they are just beginning to explore the world.


It is difficult for young children to understand their condition and that is why parents should make sure that the little ones only consume gluten free products so that they do not have any setbacks.


Fluid communication with the child, at home and at school.


The positive thing about this situation is that children adapt easily and quickly to the changes, in particular to their new diet. Here dialogue with them is vital, explaining clearly everything that concerns their illness, so that they can understand what is happening to them and how to deal with it in the best possible way.


It is also important to teach them to differentiate between foods, explaining what they can and cannot eat so that they become familiar with the most appropriate food. As for purchased and processed products, if the child can already read, it is convenient to teach him how to interpret food labels.


It is a lot of fun for the child to get involved in making some of the preparations in the kitchen as a game so that he learns which ingredients are good for his health.


Safeguarding their emotional well-being through dialogue is a key element in their process of adaptation to celiac disease, since the fact of feeling different or excluded due to their condition can generate insecurity problems.


Fluid communication between parents, children and the rest of the child patient's environment is essential. Special attention should be paid to the coordination between family and school, since these are the two most important contexts in which the child develops in his day.


Information on the products that the child can eat must be clearly communicated to grandmothers, older siblings, mothers of our children's friends, their teachers, where they practice sports and even where they go to after-school activities.


As you can see, communication plays a key role in order to give the infant a hedge of protection so that he/she can enjoy a life as normal as possible without complications for his/her health.


Gluten Not Included always thinks about the well-being of children suffering from celiac disease. Every child loves to eat cookies, pastries, sweets, and at Gluten Not Included we offer a rich option for them to enjoy the sweet side of life.
