FFK10: My child invited a coeliac friend for tea, with Nicky Chilvers

Today's episode is the first in a regular series I am loosely calling the “Help my child is bringing someone home for tea” series. Which is my way of bringing information the basics you need to know about special diets to families who don’t have a special diet themselves but want to be able to be inclusive for those children who do.The first one in my series is children who need a gluten free diet either because they have coeliac disease or just because they react badly to gluten. I think this is one of the ones that frightens people a lot because, like dairy, it is in a LOT of foods that you wouldn’t immediately think of.So for this one we spoke to Nicky Chilvers from Gluten Free Little Cook to come and help. Nicky is a mum to two teens; one of whom has coeliac disease.Nicky runs through some of the basics of coeliac symptoms and some practical ways to make sure that everyone has a child friendly tea without the worries of anyone getting sick, including less obvious things about cleaning utensils and oven tray positions.It's a quick and reassuring guide to having a coeliac child to tea and of course bring their parent in on the planning.Music "Happy Days" by Simon Folwar via UppbeatNicky's website: https://www.instagram.com/gluten_free_little_cook/Nicky's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glutenfreelittlecook
