Celiac Nutrition Solved!

If you have celiac disease and eat foods with gluten, your immune system responds by damaging the small intestine. Gluten is a protein in wheat, rye and barley. It is found mainly in foods but may also be in other products like medicines, vitamins and even the glue on stamps and envelopes.

Celiac disease affects each person differently. Symptoms may occur in the digestive system, or in other parts of the body. One person might have diarrhea and abdominal pain, while another person may be irritable or depressed. Irritability is one of the most common symptoms in children. Some people have no symptoms.

Treatment is a diet free of gluten. Sounds easy, right? Wrong. It's challenging to eat a diet completely gluten-free. Nearly impossible without help from a nutrition expert.

Dr. Mancini is a certified nutrition expert, as well as a Board Certified Family Medicine physician. Besides that, he's a dad. In fact, he's the dad of a child who has celiac disease who faces what you face every day.

Celiac disease affects the whole family. Everyone in the family is impacted somehow by the fact that one person in their family circle has celiac disease. Meal and snack planning, shopping, cooking, eating at restaurants, eating in the school cafeteria, staying in hotels, travelling overseas, play dates and overnights with friends. And that's just the beginning.

With his years of experience as a dad, physician, and nutrition expert, Dr. Mancini works with you to educate and help you understand the ins and outs of living with celiac disease. Not only living with it, but not letting it rule your life.

He will create a nutrition plan and coordinated education program just for you. You or a family member may have celiac disease but how it affects you is unique. So the program Dr. Mancini creates is unique, personal, and designed to help you meet your nutrition and lifestyle goals.
