Product Description
Product Description
This is the first practical guide for the families of children and teenagers with celiac disease, a chronic, life-long digestive disorder. As many as one out of 150 to 250 Americans is born with this genetic auto-immune condition, which is characterised by intolerance of gluten - a substance in wheat, oats, barley, malt, and other food additives - and often goes undiagnosed. In a supportive conversational style, Danna Korn shows that it's possible for kids with celiac disease and their families to lead happy and healthy lives. Parents find advice on how to deal with the diagnosis, cope with the emotional turmoil, and help their child develop a positive and constructive attitude. Especially important is the guidance on menu planning, grocery shopping, strategies for proper food preparation, and deciding whether or not the entire family should be gluten-free. There's even a section on junk food! What about the child who has difficulty sticking with the prescribed diet? Parents find tips on conditioning behavior and how and when to give kids some control over what they eat. Also covered is the challenge of controlling meals outside of the home - at birthday parties, restaurants, camp, and on vacation. There's also information about how federal regulations and tax laws apply to children with celiac disease. As the only comprehensive book of its kind, This book will be the bible for the thousands of families coping with this condition. Physicians and nutritionists too, will want to refer new families to this complete resource.

Great book for families!,
By "emilyimps" (Summerville, SC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kids With Celiac Disease (Paperback)
I bought this book to educate myself on celiac disease. We have discovered that our toddler has a wheat allergy, but are waiting to test her for celiac until she is older. In the meantime, we have eliminated gluten from her diet.I learned so much about the disease from this book and am more prepared in the event that our daughter is diagnosed. I was extremely stressed about about the possibility, but this book has eased my fears. I would recommend this book to anyone with children suffering from celiac disease. In fact, I'm considering buying if for other family members as well. It's great information for anyone dealing with celiac disease in their family or extended family!

Excellant Resource,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kids With Celiac Disease (Paperback)
I found that this book was great to assist us in our quest to eliminate gluten. My son and I have Celiac and he also has a milk allergy. Being that I live in Japan with the US Military, it was that much more difficult. I read this book cover to cover TWICE and still pull it out monthly or so to see if I'm right or just to verify some little fact. I supplied it to my son's daycare director and both she and his primary caregivers and the kitchen staff read it to ensure that they were feeding him properly. Had I not done so, they said they wouldn't have known some of the items he couldn't have and just what condition he had. I also let our developmental pediatrician on base know that this book was available because many of the families on our base that have autistic children follow the diet, and it has helped them immensely. All in all a great buy!!
