Gluten-Free Birthday Parties: Helping Kids with Celiac Disease Feel Included

Birthday parties can be one of the most challenging social situations for children with Celiac Disease. In this episode of Little Tummies, Big Challenges, I share our family's journey navigating birthday parties, school celebrations, restaurants, and special events after my daughter Sophie's Celiac diagnosis. I talk about the heartbreak of watching Sophie miss out on foods that other children could enjoy, the practical steps that helped us feel prepared, and how finding businesses that truly understand food allergies and Celiac Disease changed our experience. From bringing our own food and traveling with a cooler to finding beautiful allergy-friendly desserts, this episode is about helping children feel included, confident, and safe while celebrating life's special moments. Because every child deserves to enjoy the party. #CeliacDisease #GlutenFreeKids #FoodAllergies #Parenting #LittleTummiesBigChallenges

Gluten-Free Life with Kids-What's Actually Doable?

In this episode of Little Tummies Big Challenges, I’m sharing what gluten-free life with kids actually looks like in our home — from reading labels and avoiding cross-contact to creating simple kitchen systems and packing school lunches that work in real life. I also share some of the products, routines, and small changes that helped make gluten-free life feel more manageable for our family.
