10 Celiac Disease Tips for Surviving a Holiday Gathering

I always love handy tip guides like this, they put things plain and bluntly. The main themes always appear to be communication, and planning ahead. Don’t forget those if anything. This one is most appropriate for the current holiday season, so check it out! 
This is another set of tips for the holidays, this time from the perspective of a parent with a gluten free child. The balance with children is not making them feel alienated, and to include them in the decision making. The only down side to this article is it makes it all look simple, and doesn’t address the deeper impacts of being ‘different’ as a child. But the general point gets across. 
In this study, the nutritional status of newly diagnosed Celiac Patients was assessed. Although the study shows common trends in vitamin and mineral deficiencies it is an important area of research, as the need for supplements in some cases is sometimes overlooked at time of diagnosis. 
These helpful tips will keep you right on track with your gluten free holiday baking, and are great for both those new to baking in general as well as gluten free baking! Why not try your new tricks on some of these 25 cozy gluten free holiday desserts?
Don’t forget those last minute gifts!
