When parents first hear their child has Celiac, they are full of questions. What actually is it? How does one cope with it? Is it for life? Can my child not eat food containing even a little gluten? And where does it come from?
These are legitimate questions and it is important you receive qualified answers. As time passes you will know more and more and we are here to help you get through this first period in the best way possible. We are sure you will discover it is not as bad as you thought and that Celiac is a disease you can completely control solely by a change in nutrition. No drugs, hospitalization or special treatment.
Celiac treatment focuses on eating gluten-free food. Being particular about this means a way of life slightly different from the spontaneity we are used to on a day-to-day basis. It needs proper planning and organization as the child gradually acclimatizes to his or her new path, which will eventually become smooth and easy.
Our doctors will advise you how best to organize your daily nutrition at home, in social settings, in school and preschool, where to buy gluten-free products and more.
Here on the website you will find initial information about Celiac Disease and answers to the main questions. We have also prepared a number of gluten-free recipes for you to help you along the way.
About Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is a lifelong, immune-mediated digestive disorder affecting people of all ages. When a person with celiac eats a food containing gluten (a protein found in certain grains), it creates an immune-mediated inflammation that damages the small intestine. Gluten is found in wheat, rye and barley and thus these grains must not be ingested by celiac patients.
Nutritional Highlights in Celiac
The cornerstone of celiac disease management is a strict adherence to a gluten-free diet. This means avoiding all sources of gluten, which can sometimes be challenging given its presence in various unexpected food products. With careful label reading and increasing availability of gluten-free alternatives, individuals with celiac disease can enjoy a diverse and balanced diet that meets their nutritional needs. It's important to note that adopting a gluten-free lifestyle isn't just about eliminating certain foods; it's also about making informed choices, reading labels, and effectively navigating dining out and shopping.
