My 7yo has coeliac disease.

  • The Very Hungry Coeliac has some good books with great recipes.
    One thing we do every year, and I am strongly suggesting you go, is the Gluten Free Expo. They have lots of new and different things on the market to try. Lots of samples. And the best part, you can eat everything there as it is ALL Gluten Free. Best place for any inspiration.


  • Following for the replies thanks to the original poster


  • I find One Handed Cooks a good resource and they have adaptions to all of their recipes regarding gluten, dairy etc. They’re also good for helping with food jags and issues so are really useful. They’re recipes are so adaptable and great for the whole family.


  • Visit a nutritionist- they should have lots of resources.


  • You poor thing. Check sauces, medicines, make up, lip balm, chewing gum, moisturiser, and anything else potentially ingested. It is in everything. (And oats are often processed with wheat and therefore unsafe).


  • Also; there should be a good range of cookbooks available in bookshops and the local library.


  • I agree with some of the other comments – I’d seek some help from a dietician or nutritionist..


  • There is such a wide range of foods available nowadays for this and many other conditions & allergies. There are also some great online forums you could join for advice, recipes etc from people who know their stuff.


  • A dietician/nutritionist should be able to provide support and ideas.
    Also; there might be some good coeliac online groups that have resources and information.
    The local library might have books on this topic with recipes, hints and tips and other useful information. Always worth sourcing the local library.


  • Have you looked at social media to see if there are any groups you can join. I have joined a few fussy eater ones for my daughter and this helps.


  • There’s a whole group of foods that is safe to eat, such as:
    Fruits and vegetables.
    Beans, seeds, legumes and nuts in their natural, unprocessed forms.
    Eggs.
    Lean, nonprocessed meats, fish and poultry.
    Most low-fat dairy products.
    Foods containing gluten (not safe to eat) aand for which you should seek gluten free options
    bread.
    pasta.
    cereals.
    biscuits or crackers.
    cakes and pastries.
    pies.
    gravies and sauces.
    Success ! It’s not that hard as nowadays there’s lots of substitutes on the market !
