    If Your Child Has Celiac Disease, You Need to Hear This — A Parent’s Perspective on Diagnosis, Advocacy & Mindset

    When your child is diagnosed with celiac disease, everything changes — and suddenly, you’re responsible for keeping them safe in a world full of gluten, questions, and uncertainty. In this episode of Celiac Diaries, I sit down with Staci Leibson, a mom to a child with celiac disease and celiac life coach & mentor from The Celiac Shift, to share the parent perspective of raising a child with celiac disease — a conversation we’ve never had on the podcast before. We talk about Staci’s son Jude’s diagnosis story, how she navigated the emotional shock and day-to-day logistics as a parent, and what she’s learned along the way about advocacy, mindset, and resilience. We also discuss why the way you talk to yourself — and to your child — about celiac disease truly matters, and how that language can shape confidence, independence, and self-worth. This episode also breaks down how celiac disease is recognized as a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act, how parents can use that as a resource for 504 plans at school, and how to advocate for your child in classrooms, social settings, and beyond. We also explore the decision to have a mixed household and what that can look like in real life. Plus, you’ll hear directly from Jude himself — and what Staci wishes she knew at the beginning of their celiac journey that she knows now. Whether you’re a parent of a newly diagnosed child, navigating school accommodations, or simply looking for reassurance that you’re doing the best you can — this episode is for you. 🎧 Listen now and share this episode with someone who needs to hear it. 🎧 New episodes every Wednesday ⭐ If this episode resonates, please rate, review, and share — it helps Celiac Diaries grow Make sure to like, subscribe, and comment to help more people in the celiac/ allergy community find these conversations. 💛 Connect with me: Podcast IG & TikTok: @celiacdiariespod Lucia's Instagram: @lucia.cordaroo Staci's Instagram: @theceliacshift Community4Celiac Instagram: @community4celiac Musicmusic provided by epidemic sound.
