Nutritional Guidance To Help Children Following A Gluten Free Diet

Gluten-Free Diets, Coeliac Disease & Gluten Sensitivity

​

Coeliac disease 

For individuals with diagnosed coeliac disease, I provide structured support to help families confidently adhere to a strict gluten-free diet.

​

This includes symptom management, protecting nutritional adequacy, and practical education around label reading, hidden sources of gluten, and preventing cross-contamination at home, school and when eating out.

​

I also assess intake of key nutrients commonly affected on a gluten-free diet and consider increased requirements where there has been previous malabsorption. Food-first strategies are prioritised, with supplementation advised where appropriate.

​

Gluten Sensitivity & Symptom Investigation

Where gluten is being removed due to gastrointestinal symptoms or suspected sensitivity, I use a structured, evidence-based approach.

​

This may include gold-standard dietary exclusion and carefully planned reintroduction to assess tolerance and avoid unnecessary long-term restriction.

 

The aim is always clarity , ensuring dietary changes are proportionate, nutritionally adequate and genuinely beneficial.

​

Ongoing Monitoring & Practical Support

I review dietary intake, growth  and overall wellbeing throughout the process.

​

Support is tailored to the individual, ensuring that removing gluten , whether temporarily or long-term , does not compromise nutrition, development or quality of life.
