WIN-It-Wednesday: “Mommy, What Is Celiac Disease?” by Katie Chalmers
Tuesday, June 12th, 2012
Explaining celiac disease and the gluten-free diet to kids can be tough. After being diagnosed, many favorite foods including macaroni & cheese, pizza, and chicken nuggets are now off-limits, unless prepared gluten-free. Understanding celiac disease is tough enough for adults, never mind for children.
How can you explain eating gluten-free and celiac disease to a child whose whole world is centered around pizza parties at school, a best-friends birthday party, or favorite foods that include chicken nuggets and onion rings? How can a child look at the sunny side of being gluten-free?
Enter the book: “Mommy, What Is Celiac Disease?” by Katie Chalmers.
This is a one-of-a-kind book that is written by a Mom who was diagnosed with celiac disease over three years ago, along with her daughter. Since their diagnosis they have learned to make the best out of living gluten-free and have so graciously shared so much with the rest of the gluten-free community.
If you haven’t checked it out yet make sure that you click-by Katie’s new and updated blog, GFreeKid.com. Her blogs goal is to help gluten-free kids be happy & healthy. She accomplishes this by sharing her family experiences of living a happy and healthy gluten-free lifestyle. What are some of my favorite sections that must be checked out?

Some other pages to check out include the Recipe section full of kid-friendly dishes; reviews and giveaways… and more.
