Product Description
This is the first practical guide for the families of children and teenagers with celiac disease, a chronic, life-long digestive disorder.One out of 250 Americans is born with this genetic autoimmune condition, which is characterized by intolerance of gluten (wheat, rye, 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 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-fee.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.Dozens of recipes help parents be creative and offer well-rounded appealing meals and snacks.There's also information about how special education laws can help with services at school.
As the only comprehensive book of its kind, Kids with Celiac Disease 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.
