There is a worrying period, if not actual panic, when your child or one close to you has been diagnosed.  The next thought I had was something like what will I give them to eat?This disease is one that could be diagnosed very young or at various ages such as in our family and each time of life presents difficulties.  The older ones understand but still need to learn how to get food to eat and the younger ones have problems so clearly outlined in this book.There are some good tips about how to try too get you little one to understand and co-operate and also how to create a dialogue with their school.There are a few soups, breads, wraps, fillings, fruit salads and cakes/biscuit recipes provided.  These should ensure your little one has a lunchbox they can enjoy but also, so very important at certain ages, a lunchbox which does not differ from others and so they are not "different" and singled out for teasing or bullying.This is a short beginners book but really does cover the initial worries of children and parents so that the school and diet experience run together smoothly.
