Or maybe you or your child has been diagnosed for a while, but you&#8217;re looking for more information?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve written a book summarising what we\u2019ve learnt over 20 years of dealing with the gluten free diet, and it might be just what you\u2019re looking for. It packs the lessons we&#8217;ve learned into what I hope is a helpful and straightforward guidebook. I hope it will be useful for parents and carers, but also for those people who support families as they get to grips with managing the coeliac lifestyle.<\/p>\n<h2>Our experience<\/h2>\n<p>Our eldest was diagnosed with coeliac disease when she was a one-year-old, and we\u2019ve been dealing with the issues that the gluten free diet raises every day since then. <\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve survived:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>nursery: private child-care and state-provided nursery<\/li>\n<li>school: primary and secondary<\/li>\n<li>school trips and residentials<\/li>\n<li>camps, hikes and expeditions<\/li>\n<li>birthday parties and other celebrations<\/li>\n<li>eating out at restaurants<\/li>\n<li>travelling within the UK and abroad<\/li>\n<li>work experience and internships<\/li>\n<li>going to university.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Still smiling&mdash;and still gluten free.<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s in the book?<\/h2>\n<p><em>Raising Your Coeliac Child<\/em> discusses the key issues facing families as they start to manage the gluten free diet for their child: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Knowing what can (or can\u2019t) be safely eaten<\/li>\n<li>Discussing the diagnosis with children and other adults<\/li>\n<li>The psychological impact of the diagnosis<\/li>\n<li>Dealing with the daily details, from school trips and birthday parties to travelling and eating out <\/li>\n<li>Dealing with negative comments\u2014and making mistakes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for gluten free recipes, this isn&#8217;t the book for you. Rather, it&#8217;s about how to handle all those issues that crop up every day, whether it&#8217;s picky eating, school dinners or travel insurance&mdash;and all the emotions that come with the diagnosis.<\/p>\n<h2>Raising Your Coeliac Child<\/h2>\n<p><em>Raising Your Coeliac Child<\/em> is <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2yCLd5g\">available at Amazon<\/a> as a paperback, or as an ebook.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>***<br \/>\n<small>We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you a parent of a child recently diagnosed with coeliac disease?
