If your kid is managing an allergy, this episode is for you! Elysia Macdonald, Jess's big-sis and published Author of Gluten Freedom: A Complete Guide to Navigating a Gluten-Free Diet for School-Aged Kids joins the Gals to share her family's journey after receiving her son's life-altering celiac diagnoses at just four-years-old.
Elysia opens up about the day-to-day realities of managing a strict gluten-free lifestyle -- from school lunches and birthday parties to creating a safe home environment alongside her daughter, who isn’t celiac. She shares practical tips for navigating food allergies, along with the emotional side that’s often overlooked: helping kids feel included, confident, and safe as they learn to advocate for themselves.
Whether you’re newly navigating a diagnosis or deep in the day-to-day, this conversation is packed with insight, honesty, and support for parents figuring it out as they go.
