Not sure where to start? I’ve got you
When your child is a newly diagnosed coeliac, the information overload is real. You don’t need everything at once — you just need the right support for where your family is right now.
And to get started on your new life long gluten free diet!
Start here – the Parent Book
If your child has been recently diagnosed, this is your first step.
This book helps you:
- Understand coeliac disease in real life, day to day terms
- Learn how to keep your child safe without constant fear
- Navigate food, labels, school, and social situations with more confidence
- Feel calmer, clearer, and less alone in those early weeks and months
This is the book I wish I’d had at the beginning (which is why I wrote it!)
“What a fabulous book full of information & practical tips for parents of children with coeliac disease”
Nicola Walpole, Coeliac Dietitian
For your child – The Kids Book
When your child starts asking questions.
This gentle, fun & easy to read workbook helps children (4-12yrs):
- Understand coeliac disease in an easy way that feels safe
- Learn how to be confident about their diagnosis, get friends and family involved
- Know they’re not “different” but they have to be safe to be healthy
It opens up conversations without fear or overwhelm & helps them learn to speak up for themselves with simple key phrases, when you’re not there!
For growing independence – The Teen Journal
For teens learning to manage coeliac disease themselves.
This book supports teens as they:
- Build independence around food choices
- Navigate social situations with confidence
- Understand their health without feeling lectured or restricted
- Short information filled chapters, with space to make their own notes & create their own agenda to keep themselves safe
Don’t struggle with coeliac disease
Seeing other mums struggle, I had to help solve the problem, to make life easier. We’ve enough going on, too many balls to juggle in the air without this too on top of everything.
Everything I’ve learnt, our challenges and more are in the books and shared online via Facebook, Instagram and even TikTok. It’s definitely not what I planned or saw myself when this all began, but if it helps one set of parents, one mum to understand she’s not alone & doesn’t have to stand crying in the Free From aisle, then that’s amazing.
Found this book so helpful when daughter was diagnosed 5 months ago. Very little guidance was given from GP etc and was relying on Google for information. This book has all the information you need. Kids workbook is also fantastic. UK book but still relevant to Ireland.
For you to be able to know that you shouldn’t cut out gluten until you’ve got a proper diagnosis from a Consultant, then that’s fabulous. You can read more here in my blog Living in a Coeliac World
There are still daily challenges & each year brings something different as Grace gets older. Each age brings its own worries. Each time you think you’ve a handle on it, something will change.
