We need to increase awareness and understanding of children with Celiac Disease, especially in public environments like their schools.
My sister works in a child care facility, and one of the more disturbing trends I hear about is how so many employees and parents of non-Celiac children don’t appreciate the severity of Celiac Disease symptoms. It is almost as if children with Celiac Disease are a nuisance to them.
“Oh gosh, we have to make special pancakes for the Celiac child — woa is us!”
I understand why this happens; it’s a familiar phenomenon for anyone suffering from a relatively unknown health condition, and unfortunately it may even be a familiar phenomenon for those of us just dealing with the pubic in general.
But I do hope more individuals will grow to appreciate the seriousness of gluten allergy symptoms, especially in our children.
