Celiac disease or dermatitis herpetiformis
Celiac disease or dermatitis herpetiformis is a disease that causes skin sensitivity caused by the gluten. Those who suffer from this disease can not eat wheat products, oats, rye and barley (TACC).
It is essential that celiac children eat a diet free of these foods that contain gluten, for lesions in the intestinal villi shrink and recover. This type of diet is that child will use throughout your life to stay healthy and free of symptoms of celiac disease.
Certainly not an easy task to convey to our children why they can not eat the same foods they eat their peers at school. It requires collaboration of educators, parents and the whole family for the child is understood, little by little, the importance of respecting the prescribed diet and care that has to have with certain foods.
Here are some tips to make the diet of our children:
- Do not purchase products that are not labeled and, therefore, do not indicate the ingredients that were made.
- Remove the wheat diet, and instead use corn flour or gluten-free bread crumbs.
- Integrate the diet food substitutes such as those made with corn, rice, soya and quinoa, among others.
- Use utensils that have been previously cleaned, as they may be remnants of gluten and can contaminate food they ingested.
- Be careful with ground beef or sausage, and that may have traces of gluten in the mix.
