Getting a diagnosis of celiac disease for your child can be both a relief and scary: a relief because you finally know what is wrong and scary because you’re worried about your child’s well-being. The only treatment for celiac disease is to completely eliminate gluten from their diets.
The resources on this page can help you as you care for your child. The resources here can also be helpful for children with non-celiac gluten sensitivity or NCGS, also known as gluten intolerance.
Transitioning your child to a gluten-free diet can feel overwhelming and confusing at times. You may feel unsure of how to keep your child safe while still allowing them to experience the joys of being a kid. With preparation and support, your child can stay safe, have fun, and enjoy a variety of delicious foods.
