CDHNF has created a booklet to help prevent newly diagnosed celiac patients and their families from experiencing “Celiac Meltdown”. The booklet below is a starter guide that will help you through the initial days of the gluten free life style and id designed to help you and your family manage the emotional stress that you may be feeling at this time.
The most important first step is to work with your physician and a knowledgeable registered dietician (RD) who will review the gluten free diet and any other specific nutritional needs of your child. In addition the registered dietician will be able to help you contact local support groups and direct you to reliable web sites like this one. The booklet covers in some detail
