It seems like everyone is trying a gluten-free diet these days. For about 1 in 100 children though, celiac disease makes a gluten-free diet a medical necessity.
Shayna Coburn, Ph.D., a pediatric psychologist at Children’s National Health System, shares nine ways parents can help children with celiac disease adopt a gluten-free lifestyle and thrive. Read Dr. Coburn’s tips at U.S. News & World Report’s “For Parents” blog.
Children’s National also has a free smartphone app called the Celiac Disease & Gluten-Free Diet Resource Center that can help you plan gluten-free meals and access resources for living with celiac disease.
