Hello lovelies! In this post I'm going to introduce you to a couple good websites that will help you find even more information related to Celiac Disease. These websites will enable you to better care for yourself or a loved one who's suffering from this disease.
The first website is one called kidshealth.org. What I really love about Kid’s health is that it has three subsites: one for the parents, one for teenagers, and one for children. In each of these sections the language and information within is specifically targeted toward each age group. This makes it a lot easier for each group to understand the information within, and use it to better understand and adapt to this disease in their lives, or in the lives of their loved ones. Kid’s Health also provides free recipes and meal planners to aid in proper nutrition planning. Additionally this site has an option to switch the language to Spanish, which is very accommodating.
The next website is one called celiac.org. This site sponsors the Celiac Disease Foundation and is useful in finding support groups for Celiac Disease. They have a map with local chapters listed on it. They also assist patients with Celiac Disease in finding a doctor, as well as provide a symptoms checklist so that they can perform a cursory self-check.
Americanceliac.org describes itself as being “The unified voice of the Celiac community.” I found this website to be very helpful in providing information about Celiac Disease. I especially liked how they had specific sections for families and on living with Celiac Disease.
If what you’re looking for is gluten-free recipes I would suggest checking out pinterest.com and searching “gluten-free recipes.” Another useful site for recipes is allrecipes.com. Both these sites are extremely useful in meal planning. This meal plan below was created by the Celiac Disease Foundation and can help give you an idea for the types of meal planning that is available to you:
Finally, I’d like to leave you all with a link to a post made by healthcaretechnicians.org. In this post, they list the top 50 Celiac Disease blogs. I encourage you to check them out!

The more information you have the better prepared you will be to deal with your, or your loved one’s, Celiac Disease. In my next blog post I’ll share with you some apps that can also help someone with Celiac out in their daily lives. See you then!
