My Child Has Celiac Disease | I Wrote a Book to Explain the Diagnosis

For World Book Day I thought I would share a different topic - My Child Has Celiac Disease | I Wrote a Book to Explain the Diagnosis. The book I wrote is called The Swap Bop - for Children with Food Intolerances. I wasn't sure how to tell my child about celiac disease so I wrote a children's book to help. This is our celiac disease story and journey. Living with celiac disease can be difficult but the Swap Bop Book has made it positive. It is a book for children with all food intolerances and food allergies including kids with dairy allergies, nut allergies, gluten free diet etc.
I read the children's book aloud, it is suitable for all children that can't eat certain foods from toddler age.
You can order it on Amazon US here: www.amazon.com/Lindsey-Lonerg...
and Amazon UK here: www.amazon.co.uk/Lindsey-Lone...
and Amazon Europe here: www.amazon.de/-/en/Lindsey-Lo...

    This is so awesome! I wish there was something like this when I was a kid. I'm allergic to dairy and eggs but they didn't figure it out until I was in my mid-twenties. And so I was sick for a lot of my childhood. There just wasn't a lot of understanding or respect for food allergies among society and doctors when I was a kid. I'm so glad that there are so many options now for people with food allergies, dietary needs, and food preferences.

    GF is so easy. My son is allergic to wheat. Severe migraines and congestion were the hardest with stomach issues. I do it with him and got rid of all sinus infections. Now very rare for me. Been doing GF for six years now. Schar is the best bread. My son can smell wheat baking and he feels nauseous now.

    Your approach to helping your daughter is fantastic! I can relate as I have celiac and so does my daughter. I was also a child with endless allergies to all kinds of foods. I wasn't diagnosed with celiac until I was an adult, it's often missed, so happy Odette will not need to suffer unnecessarily. As I have personal knowledge from both sides, your approach of educating your daughter is empowering. When I was a child it was an endless list of foods you can't have instead of substitute options. Constant reminders of being different, but I understood that some foods would make me very sick. It really wasn't a big deal to me, it was much more so to my mother and other adults who were always apologizing to me for foods I didn't want to eat in the first place. Also lack of planning on alternatives, not blaming my mother just a different time and parenting style. As a parent my approach was completely different. I prefer to feed my family fresh food, so that's 💯 gluten free and when we eat out I've taught my daughter what to order from the time she was 3, it is great for social interaction and confidence to order and ask questions regarding food preparation. As for birthday parties and pizza parties at school, my daughter has her own food and always extra to share with curious friends. My daughter is very social and her friends understand that she eats a little differently than they do, but her preferred snacks are always fresh fruit. Super impressed with your book and great job.

    This is brilliant! It's wonderful that you did your research then just made the thing that you (and your daughter) needed when you couldn't find what you were looking for. I have Celiac disease as well and recently discovered I can't have sugar. I wish I'd had something like this even though I was diagnosed in my twenties, just to help get my head around it. Everyone always asks me what I can I eat as if I can't have anything. But, to me, I feel like "I can eat anything and not get sick! There are so many options and new discoveries!" You've done your child, and so many people, such a service by writing your book. Thank you. Purchased and shared.

I am actually on my boyfriends youtube account right now, so my name is actually Devanna Temple. I just find it so cool that I am mostly Irish, well black Irish, but my father is a Wolfe. My great grandparents are german immigrants. Such a small world. But I was curious about the Wolfe name, ... are there other Wolfe families in Ireland? I know during WWII a lot of german families were split up. My great grandparents would never talk about their past for obvious reasons but I am still curious ya know?
