This book isn't a cookbook, but it is a great book for kids with celiac. I am a teacher with celiac and I read it to my students to help them understand why I can't eat their birthday cuppycakes and such. It is called Eating Gluten Free With Emily . It is written by Bonnie Kruszka. It is a must have for a celiac kiddo!! You can buy it through the gluten free pantry or even on amazon .com Open Original Shared Link

As far as cookbooks go, I like this one for kids: Wheat-Free, Gluten-Free Cookbook for Kids and Busy Adults by Connie Sarros.

Many kid-friendly recipes can be adjusted to be gluten free. Even corn-dogs and chicken nuggets!! So try experimenting and have fun in the kitchen. It is well worth it.

We have Sheri L. Sanderson's book. It's called (something like) Incredible Edible Gluten Free Food for Kids 150 family tested recipes.

A friend from work saw a Carol Fenster book (something like) Wheat and Gluten Free Meals and bought that for me, and we have the Gluten Free Gourmet makes Bread.

The dietitian and Celiac Association had a lot of handouts with recipes and the forums here have lots of recipes.

HI Mom

My friend wrote this book and some of my friends have it for their kids.

I've glanced at it--not sure of recipes or not but know they love it and from these amazon reviews, looks like one Jacob would enjoy.

Nancy put one in our local library for people to see. Not sure if your library might have it but it's worth a try.

Hope it helps.

Great for Children with Celiac Disease! , August 3, 2005

Reviewer: Jennie Osborne "Jennie Osborne" (Tallahassee, Fl) - See all my reviews

This has really helped my daughter ( age 5 ) understand Celiac. I wish we had this when she was diagnosed two years ago. This has been a great study on what foods to eat, and how her body reacts to both gluten, and gluten free foods. Some of this is more advanced, but it's a great study to use over and over again. This is a must have book!!!

Gluten Free Friends : A Must Have for Children!, May 16, 2005

Gluten Free Friends: An Activity Book for Kids is an extremely well written book. It is an advanced coloring book and works well for varied levels of learning.

The coloring pages are very well illustrated and resemble real life pictures, which young children love.

This book also includes differentiated teaching lessons and activities for the older child and provides a guide for parents and care givers to learn from and help guide the child/children with. The activities are practical and really get to the heart of the matter: children need to feel empowered and in control and through reading the book and doing the activities, children gain control over celiac disease. A positive way to learn for both child and parent or care giver. A definite book for your library, especially after it has been covered front to back. My family refers to it a lot!

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful:

This activity book has been wonderful in helping my son learn more about celiac disease. At 5, he enjoyed learning what happens 'on the inside' when he eats gluten. At almost 8, he likes to help choose his own foods, and we use the book as an educational tool for teaching about safe, and healthy foods. Nancy Falini has done an excellent job tailoring the book for different age groups. It is a great resource book for the kids!!

You could always use regular children's cookbooks and just modify them for the gluten free diet. I modify regular recipes and my food always turns out great. Try Kinnikinick's all purpose flour mix in recipes.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.
