how the service will respond to the child's needs with celiac disease?

they can use safe food and five food groups just People with celiac disease must avoid foods containing gluten


if my answer is wrong can you please help me

thanks

Yes...

A strict gluten-free diet must be followed. Child must avoid gluten-free foods such as foods with wheat, rye and barley, bread as Ingesting small amounts of gluten, like crumbs from a cutting board or toaster, can trigger small intestine damage.

So, when the child is at the centre, they should be given gluten free foods and care should be taken that crumbs are not transferred to the child's food. So, a separate cutting board should also be used.

Hope this helps,
