Hailey's Gluten Free Surprise: Helping Others Understand Gluten Free
Debbie has been involved in celiac awareness and support since she discovered that she needed to be gluten free in 2000. Her desire to increase celiac awareness and an understanding of a gluten free diet led to Adam’s Gluten Free Surprise, her first children's book. Her inspiration for Adam was her children who supported and accepted a gluten free kitchen because their mom’s health depended on it. She was inspired by her son’s positive matter-of-fact attitude when it was discovered that he also required a gluten free diet. He faced each school and social event with an inspiringly positive acceptance. Debbie is passionate about the testing of children, and anyone who may have health issues related to undiagnosed celiac, a disease that affects nearly 1% of us. She hopes to ease the path for those who require a gluten free diet with her books Adam's Gluten Free Surprise and Hailey’s Gluten Free Surprise
