My most recent episode of the Learning to Slay the Beasts Podcast focused on my account of transitioning my son to gluten free eating. I worked with a health professional in making the decision, but unfortunately, they weren’t able to be by my side to implement it everyday and many of the recipes they gave were aimed at the taste buds of adults.
Some things that worked well for me:
– focussing on foods he already loved that are naturally gluten free;
– buying a bento box for lunches (moves away from the classic sandwich with the weird small bread!);
– finding fast food (pizza, Subway) and treats (Kinnikinnick and Enjoy Life) that are gluten free;
– baking, cooking, experimenting;
– taking on the new diet when the parent has time to give, not when you are already maxed out!;
– being a gluten free role model for your child.
Let me know what worked for you below and listen to Episode 20 of the Learning to Slay the Beasts Podcast!
