12. Appendices Gluten-free diets Some children may be diagnosed with a condition called coeliac disease that means they must follow a gluten-free diet. Gluten is the protein found in wheat, rye and barley and therefore all foods which contain these cereals must be avoided. There are a good variety of gluten-free foods available and advice on foods to choose and avoid can be given by a die titian. Coeliac UK also provides help and advice as well as booklets outlining gluten-free foods. It is worth noting that play-dough is made from flour as are home-made play material often used in childcare settings and the pasta shapes sometimes used for collages. It is important that children with Coeliac Disease are supervised when using these materials to stop small children putting these in their mouth. Food customs of different cultures Some ethnic communities may have different food customs from those you are used to. The food customs may involve what foods are eaten, how the foods are prepared, what combinations of foods are used or when particular foods are eaten. Periods of celebration and celebration foods may bring new events to your pre-school setting. There may be periods of fasting, though very young children do not normally fast. However, the meals eaten at home may be different during fasting periods, such as a main meal late at night or breakfast very early. Check with parents if the child’s food intake at the pre-school needs to be adjusted during this time. Always consult with the parents of the child so that their individual food preferences and customs can be catered for. A guide to some of the differences in food choice commonly observed by those from different religious and cultural groups is hown over the page. “It varies” means that some people within a group would find these foods acceptable. 12
