Celi-Safe Caregiver Booklet

Because keeping your child safe shouldn't depend on someone "figuring it out."

If you've ever felt nervous leaving your child with a babysitter, grandparent, teacher, coach, camp counselor, or even a well-meaning friend, you're not alone.

As parents of children with Celiac disease, we know the endless questions:

Will they remember to check ingredients?
Do they understand cross-contact?
What if my child gets glutened?
Will my child know how to explain their needs?

The Celi-Safe Caregiver Booklet was created to help bridge that gap to help ease your mind.

This booklet is an "About Me" laminated booklet that gives caregivers quick, easy-to-understand information they can reference anytime to help avoid the scrollinbg back in text messages. It helps avoid confusion and guessing!

Hi Everyone!!

I'm Crystal - creator of Celi-Safe, a 501c3 nonprofit organization that aims to help kiddos understand and navigate life with celiac disease in a way that feels fun, empowering, and safe.

I know from personal experience as a parent of a kiddo with Celiac, the resources out there for children are scarce.. How do I explain to a 6 year old she can't have her favorite snacks, or that her body responds differently than other kids? That her whole life would be adjusted to reading every label, watching what people touch and being so vigilant of the world around her. After seeing how overwhelming and emotional a gluten-free diagnosis can be—especially for children—I knew there had to be a better way to explain it. Something softer. Something comforting. Something a child could actually connect with.For many children, being gluten-free can feel confusing, isolating, and even scary. Birthday parties, school lunches, and everyday snacks suddenly come with stress and uncertainty.

That’s where Celi comes in.

Through engaging storytelling and lovable characters like the Safe Snack Squad, this future book will help children:
1. Understand what gluten is, as well as Celiac Disease.
2. Feel confident advocating for themselves
3. Know they are not alone

Celi-Safe's "Celi the Gluten Free Dough Buddy" (coming fall 2026) is more than a book. It’s a tool for parents, a comfort for kids, and a way to turn something overwhelming into something understandable and even a little magical.

For me, this is more than a project. It's my every day life. It's my family's every day life. We're still navigating it every day. Celi-Safe is something I wish existed when my family needed it most -so I built it with the idea that it truly takes a village and I want to build that village for other children. For other parents who need all the resources in one place. I mean how do you truly explain that your kiddo can't have cake or waffles?

P.S. This is my family! Evie (6) is the one diagnosed with Celiac.
