Advice For A Father!

[Storm]

I have recently been diagnosed with Celiac's and was wondering if there are any foods my 10yr old son cannot have? My kitchen cupboards have had to be emptied and re stocked due to my change in diet but I want to make sure that whatever I eat, he can as well.

Any advice will be very very welcome on whether he can eat the same as me.

Thank you

Unless he has specific food allergies/intolerances himself, there shouldn't be any reason he can't eat what you eat. All of my meals are made gluten free and there have been no complaints yet. If my kids ( age 8 & 4) want gluten containing items their dad and them have there own space in the pantry and on the counter. There are times when they get pizza or something and I eat stuff I have made ahead for myself. As you can tell I have a shared kitchen, but my husband is very good about cleaning up, staying on his part of the counter for gluten items, and is very good about not contaminating things we share. The kids don't make anything yet unsupervised so either I'm helping or my husband. Your son is probably old enough to partially fend for himself in the kitchen. If you don't want to worry about cross contamination just keep everything gluten free. My kids and husband try most anything and my youngest loves the gluten free pretzels and nut thins.

My husband and I eat almost entirely gluten free despite not having Celiac. We like the food and it's easier for us to have a gluten-free house.
