Celiac Disease

An Author Who Wants to Make a Difference

We should look at kids who have celiac disease. If your child experiences diarrhea, bloating, poor growth, weight loss, decreased appetite and stomachaches, sleep problems there is a good chance your child has celiac disease. Do not leave this untreated, the intestine will not heal and there will be more complications. Celiac untreated can cause mental and behavioral disorders as ADHD, anxiety, depression, fatigue. When your child does go to the doctor to get checked then you will know and can move forward either way. Unfortunately, this disease is a lifelong condition.

There are websites for information for your child and teen and yourself.  I must tell you; I have learned so much about celiac disease and what this can do to someone who ignores it. I am in a position currently helping someone who has this disease and is eating what they want. I see what it does to the adult body. You, can imagine what this disease does to a little body. I have a published gluten free cookbook for kids and adults, and anyone who just wants a gluten free dessert. Amazon.com (Tammy Aiken)

I want to tell all that have this disease it is not over it is the beginning. My cookbooks can help you and your child have safe and fun desserts. I believe in empowering home bakers, in helping them understand that with the right knowledge, gluten-free baking is not just possible; it is delightful. It is one where every cup of flour and every dash of sugar is more than just a part of a recipe - they are pieces of a puzzle that, when put together, can bring joy and relief to those who often have to say 'no' to desserts.

Here are a couple of websites to look at raisingourceliackids.org & www.celiac.com & celiac.org these websites have good information. These websites will give you information on what foods are best when you have celiac and so much more.
