[quote=Anonymous]My child has Celiac and Type 1 Diabetes. The pickiness CAN be an issue in terms of your child's health. A gluten free diet can be deficient in many nutrients if the main component is gluten free packaged foods. Most foods labeled gluten free are higher in carbohydrates and sugar. Most importantly, they are not fortified. The inability to eat whole grains tends to creates a deficit in fiber consumption. If your child does not eat "salads" does she consume fruit and vegetables otherwise? Legumes? Also, due to cross contamination, salad bars are not a recommended option for Celiac Disease. I agree access to a varied healthy diet for a person with Celiac is an important part of tour child's overall well being. This should be a factor in college choice. Please do not let her limited palette shrink her choices. [/quote]
