My son was diagnosed with Celiac several years ago.
In addition to going down the rabbit hole on the Internet, I realized that I needed some children’s books that would help me have discussions with him.
Because going medically gluten free isn’t a one conversation and done kind of thing.
It’s an ongoing thing because finding out you have Celiac is actually a very emotionally charged thing.
And it’s a long journey to acceptance – acceptance of your diagnosis, acceptance of your new diet and acceptance of the changes of ease in your life.
