 Finding out that your little one has Celiac disease can be overwhelming. Suddenly, you realize that the foods your family has always eaten can no longer be eaten by one of your children. People with Celiac disease cannot process wheat, rye, and barley, which all contain a protein called gluten, which means they cannot consume many commonly eaten, store-bought products such as bread, pretzels, cakes, pudding, pizza, pancakes, etc, and instead have to choose gluten free baked goods.
Children with Celiac disease must avoid wheat, rye, barley, breading, wheat gluten, malt, wheat starch, durum, soy sauce, matzoh, graham flour, semolina, spelt, bran, couscous, and semolina, and should also avoid MSG, artificial colors and flavors, food starch, and other preservatives. This may sound daunting, but developing a diet plan of gluten free baked goods for your child is easier than you think, thanks to the growing number of specialty gluten free breads suppliers.

Unfortunately one of the side effects of being pregnant and becoming a mum is losing your memory. It happens to most new mums I know. Those who once had a faultless memory now find themselves forgetting even the simplest of things. Once we were able to remember a multitude of tasks in our heads and felt pride in our ability to multi task. Now, we find ourselves jotting down notes on post-it pads and sticking them up in every nook and cranny lest we forget the tasks for today!
