Educating children about celiac disease

How important it is to have a proper nutrition during the growing process, and even more so when the child suffers from a food allergy to gluten, since not having the right diet can have a negative impact on the infant's health and development.

Celiac disease can begin to develop during childhood. Children most at risk are those with a family history of the same intolerance.


Educating the child about his or her food allergy is vitally important. The eating habits he learns as a child will help him throughout his life.


Finding the right strategy is very important so that the child can understand his situation and learn what foods he should eat to have a better quality of life.


This is where we must make use of our creativity, letting our imagination fly and connecting with our inner child to achieve in a pleasant and even fun way to reach the heart and intellect of our children.


Games have the remarkable ability to teach while entertaining. Learning through play has a positive impact on children's ability to socialize and manage their emotions. It also fosters the development of problem-solving skills, evaluating success and learning from mistakes by trying alternatives.


Grocery Games

A trip to the grocery store can become a great adventure for your child with a scavenger hunt, asking your child to find products that match the pictures you printed on a sheet of paper.


Show containers of similar products, one containing gluten, one gluten-free, and ask your child to tell the difference.


You can even turn clipping coupons into a teaching activity. Ask your child to circle five products that are safe to eat from a grocery store flyer.


Family Garden

Not only can you teach your child about gluten-free foods, you can also touch on more general topics about what goes into proper, healthy eating.


A great way to reinforce those ideas is to involve your child in a small home garden. Plant some vegetables or grow tomatoes in a pot.


As plants grow, talk about their nutritional needs, which require care, good soil, water and sunshine. When it's time to harvest, go online and look up the vitamins and nutrients in each vegetable, including their health benefits.


Play is a fundamental activity for children's development and learning and is a valuable tool for raising your child's awareness of gluten allergy. We hope this publication will be helpful to parents and family members of a child with gluten intolerance.


And after a good game, what better than enjoying a tasty snack with our Gluten Not Included cookies.
