The child's environment is a very important aspect to take into account in the adaptation process after the diagnosis of gluten intolerance.
It is not only enough to teach the child to differentiate foods, it is important to have the support of family members in the implementation and compliance of the new diet so that the child does not suffer adverse health consequences.
Gluten Not Included cookies are made with love and care for the enjoyment of the smallest of the house who have Gluten allergy. Our presentation comes in the most delicious flavors: Mango Tango, Strawberry girl and now the new flavor of Carrot Cinnamon, super healthy and gluten free.
Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, older siblings and people close to the family can be allies in the child's process if you talk to them about the consequences of consuming foods with Gluten.
At the beginning it may be difficult for some, due to the fact that gluten has a leading role in the food industry. Bread, pasta, sweets, cakes and countless other foods are made with this protein.
So what to do, for example, when a family member comes home and wants to share a dessert with the child? Or when the child visits the grandparents' house. It is essential to have a dialogue with them so that the child can feel in a safer environment despite his allergy.
Today we want to share with you 4 steps to explain to those relatives how to properly handle the child's celiac disease.
Explain!
It is important to explain about celiac disease to family members (or anyone who is in the position of caring for or feeding your child). Make it clear that this is a condition with adverse health consequences for the child just by consuming a little gluten.
Show them statistics and information about symptoms that can arise from eating gluten, such as diarrhea, anemia, stunted growth, and anxiety.
Create safe spaces
Share gluten-free books, recipes and blogs to get them started. Stock your pantry with gluten-free baking mixes and ingredients.
If grandparents have a special gluten-filled recipe, help them come up with a gluten-free version. Make it a fun family event.
Educate your child, too.
Let them know they can say "no" to grandma and grandpa when it comes to accepting foods and situations that may affect their health. Send them on a visit with gluten-free food and snacks.
This step is very important for the child to set healthy boundaries because gluten intolerance is a lifelong condition.
