504 plan and celiac kids. Nearly 3/4 of celiac students don’t have one. So what is it? Should we get one? What does it do? And what should parents put in it? We answer these questions and much more here.
Strict gluten-free diet is the way to go for celiac kids. But accidents happen. What lessons can parents learn when your teen gets gluten?
A new study shows restricted diets can have an impact on kids’ behavior, attitudes around food and their social life!
Yet again we find ourselves with another gluten-free “first” on our hands. Tonight our oldest daughter leaves for a weekend church retreat four hours away. No mom nearby to ask questions to. So now what? Time for mom to get the camp prepared and time for Emma to mature a bit in her gluten-free world.
Most of us have heard of the “classic” symptoms for children with undiagnosed celiac disease — distended belly, diarrhea, vomiting/stomach pain, failure to thrive/weight loss. But this research makes me wonder if our children’s classic symptoms are only considered “classic” because that’s what doctors are told to look for.
Three and a half days of outdoors, activity, exercise and of course gluten-free food — and my daughter came home a proud celiac. The kids even concocted a song for their disease that actually is quite catchy. This post looks at the week, what the kids did and why the like to go back!
