It’s Jubilee Crown Cookies time.

Time to have some fun with baking, whether you are gluten free or not.

How are you celebrating?

We’re making gluten free cookies in our house with our crown cookie shape cutters.  But what if you can’t find any cutters shaped like a crown?

Well, you can make your own using items you already have in the house.  They don’t even have to be gluten free ones!  The shape ideas will work for any type of cookie.

Download our free ‘how to’ here, use your own recipe, grab the items you need to create the crowns (not much) and start creating your own crown cookies!

Lots of fun with a little mess!

Happy Baking

Your child has been diagnosed with Coeliac Disease.  Amongst the 100 things you now need to do, is know how to read labels confidently.

Do you know how?

What you are looking for?

Labels have all the information you need to ensure that you know what is in them.

But do you know how to decipher the information?  What to look for?  What is a ‘may contain’.  Knowing how to read labels confidently will give you the boost that you need when you head out to the shops as it’s daunting the first few times, and takes forever!!

At the end of these slides you’ll work through independently,  you will be able to work confidently through any label challenge when you are out shopping.

Learning how to read labels makes your life easier.  You get into the habit of picking items up, checking them over and either putting it in your basket or putting it back.  There are some items out there that you’d never think were gluten free but are.  It can make a huge difference to your purse over time.

A video version will be available shortly.

Have you grabbed our book Coeliac Disease & your Child – What every parent needs to know.     If you’re just starting out then that’s definitely what you need to get started.

Don’t forget to look at joining Coeliac UK & where I always recommend you find out answers to medical related questions. They’ve a wealth of information and a scanning app included in their membership if you need additional back up in the beginning.

Happy reading.

Your child and Coeliac Disease.  When your child has been diagnosed with coeliac disease it’s so overwhelming at the beginning.  So much to take in. So much to do and learn.

When it’s your child, it just seems harder.

What can they have / can’t have

Cross contamination? What is that?

How to read food labels and what to look for

There’s a lot to take in.

I was in your shoes 4 years ago.  My daughter had a shock diagnosis, & I was determined she wouldn’t miss out.

So I read, I learnt and didn’t want any other parent to struggle in the beginning.

I wrote one e-book to help ‘everyone’ but didn’t publish it in the beginning as, well, what did I know.  I put it out there, but then took it back down.  Who’d want that??

But I’ve always helped, solved problems and this is what I wanted & needed to do.

Then I set about writing another e-book Coeliac Disease & your Child – What you need to know to help parents with newly diagnosed children, as it’s all so adult focused.

What about helping our children?

They don’t want to miss out, but they need to be safe, loved & cared for.  They’re in shock too when diagnosed and you need to help them. Where do you go for information as a parent?.

Yes, the usual places such as Coeliac UK (highly recommend you join) but where is something specific to help parents help their children?   I’ve not found anything yet.  It’s lonely and hard in the early days, I didn’t know anyone else who had a child with the disease, had no one to ask questions of, how could I find out that I was going in the right direction, doing it right?  There are many changes you need to make for their diet, your kitchen & their health.

So I put all of my knowledge into this course, to help guide you through the early stages.  It covers 10 different topics, with me guiding you through the whole process during 90m which you can stop and start as you like.  You’ll be able to know what you are looking for, how to read labels confidently and feel secure in knowing how to manage cross contamination going forward.

I’m a mum of a coeliac child.  I’m not a medical expert, but I have had to find my way, like you will if you’re reading this. Being a mum means I know how you feel and that you want to do the best for your child and their coeliac disease diagnosis.

You can stop and start the course whenever you like.  It’s one video, with me giving you the best of my knowledge to date, to help get you where you need to be.

Download your copy today of Coeliac Disease & your Child – What you need to know and make your life that little bit easier as you adapt to a gluten free lifestyle.

Watch out for details of the Facebook Group connected with this course so that you have exclusive access to ask questions you might have.

Good luck.

Printable guides – How to help your child go gluten free easily with our reference guides

You’ve got the diagnosis, leaflets from the Consultant/Dietitian (hopefully), info on Coeliac UK and then you are left to head home and start thinking about how you are going to manage & help your child start their gluten free coeliac journey.

And that quite frankly is a little overwhelming!  I know, as I’ve done it too.  4yrs ago I drove my daughter home from her Consultant’s appointment, putting on a brave face & thinking to myself, how am I going to get this under control.  How am I going to manage?

I did, and you can too.

But, as I researched and looked to see what I needed to do, there wasn’t a lot that focused specifically on children, how to help them and to help the parents get it all sorted & under control.

And now there is.  As well as baking kits, I’ve created and written an e-book from a mum’s point of view that will help guide you in your journey, help you negotiate and navigate the early days whilst giving you the confidence to believe you can do it.  As you have to, for your child’s best health.

I created the printable guides, as I wanted something to put on the fridge.  Helping me but anyone who came to visit that went in our fridge.  So they knew not to touch my gluten free child’s supplies.

It does what it says on the tin, with 10 printable guides for What you need to know, Reading Labels, a poster for quick and easy reference & how to remember what to avoid as well as other guides to help you in the beginning.

Download them to your computer or phone.  Print them out, give them to friends so that they know easily.

It’s what Gluten Free Little Cook is all about.  Making life a little bit easier, because having a Coeliac child is hard enough.

All yours for £9.99.  Making life just that little easier.

There is help out there and I’ve written it down for you to help and guide you through the early days.  Because I’ve been there and it is hard.  At a time when you need help the most, most friends and family just don’t understand or get it.

It doesn’t have to be difficult.  This book will answer your questions and more.  You’ll learn about what to look for, how to read labels, manage cross contamination.  And have somewhere to record what your child eats and drinks in the first 3 months.

Don’t struggle and try to work it out.  I did that, I have the t-shirt and have put all that info into these books to help guide you so its not so hard.  Get help early on so that your coeliac child starts their journey well in the first place.  You’ll thank me for it.

Coeliac Disease Food Diary for Kids

How do your record what you child is eating in the early days?  If your child has just been diagnosed with Coeliac Disease, then you’ll know about all the things that they can’t eat.  But what should they be eating & how much?

This Coeliac Disease Food Diary for Kids is going to help you out, giving you a reference point, diary pages to record what your child eats and notes for your records too.

Your child’s dietitian should be able to provide you with all the information, but in this handy e-book guide, you’ve a reference as to what to look for, how much to eat and an easy way to record it all.

Calcium and Iron are two important food groups that your child needs.  Coeliac UK state that a child needs 1000mg per day.  Does your child get their full intake?

Coeliac Disease – what do we eat now?

I’ve been there.  I was like you but don’t think for a minute we manage to eat everything of my charts or eat the rainbow.  Far from it, but, I do my best.

My daughter was diagnosed 4 years ago & there’s a lot to take in and a lot to do.

This 90+pg e-Book contains:

• • Top Tips you need
  • Child Record Sheet
  • First Steps
  • Overview on reading labels
  • What does GF mean/what to exclude

What do you need to know?

Coeliac disease? When your child is diagnosed with this horrible disease, it’s a bit of a shock.  You take it in but then wonder what you need to do.  Having a coeliac child isn’t easy, there’s lots to learn and many challenges.  But, like anything, once you know what you need to do, you can go forward with the knowledge your child will be better for it.

It’s ok to feel sad, frustrated & angry too.  That’s how I felt in the beginning when my child was diagnosed – a total surprise – and one I wasn’t expecting.

So what does having a child with coeliac disease mean and what do you have to know and do.

One, it’s not an allergy – it’s an auto immune disease.  A reaction by your child’s body to gluten.

Two, it’s the only disease you can control by diet alone.  That in itself is amazing.

But there are many other caveat’s with this disease to factor in:

• How you cook
• What you cook
• Minimising risk of cross contamination
• Overwhelming and confusing isn’t it.

Need some help getting your head around it all?

The level of help varies throughout the UK.  We were lucky.  We’d a GP who understood we mustn’t give up gluten until diagnosed.

A referral to a dietitian and consultant within 8 weeks of diagnosis.  A folder of leaflets.

I scoured the internet.  Read lots. Joined Facebook groups.

Anything to help my child.

Over the past 5 years, I’ve seen that some don’t get that help.  They don’t get the leaflets (that you lose & can’t find anyway!!) or guidance on how to start their coeliac journey.

I saw that parents like me struggled to find out the information.  We needed simple all in one guidance.  From a mum’s point of view.

Me? Write a book? Are you quite mad?

I decided to do something about it and put everything I’ve learnt and more into the hardcopy book & this e-book.  But what did I know about writing a book.

Nothing.  So I learnt.  It’s all mine, from the front to the back.  But with coeliac disease, there’s lots out there for adults if you look.  But for parents with children?  There isn’t a lot.

It’s a big learning curve.  One, which is lonely, frustrating & overwhelming.

And yes, it’s hard.  I won’t lie about that.  I make it look easy now but I too have days that are just painful.  The planning is constant.  But I’m nearly 5 years down the road. The beginning is confusing and complicated.

I didn’t know anyone else with the disease or anyone with a child that had it.  I’d no idea where to go for help when we started out.  I used the internet & googled, I read.  There’s no need to struggle,  It’s about getting the right information.

I’ll help you get through the storm at the beginning, when you are finding your feet to a secure place where you know what you are doing, what you are looking for, how to look for it and how to negotiate almost anything.

I share our story with you so far,  stories from other mum’s who have been in the same situation as us.

First Steps to helping your child with coeliac disease

You can be overwhelmed or be confident & calm.  Sit with a tea, feet up & read the book, make notes and take the steps needed.  Or furiously scroll through Facebook pages to find the information you are looking for.  You choose.  See my blog life with a coeliac child.

My e-book will help get you started easily.  Without the overwhelm.  It helps you learn what you need to do, what to look for, how to read labels and find items that aren’t labelled gluten free, saving you time and money.  Something that everyone needs to do right now!

Going gluten free & following a gluten free diet for coeliac disease shouldn’t be hard. It’s necessary to make sure your child’s health improves.  Fast.
