“Gluten-free” is at the top of the food trend list. Parents are becoming more conscious of their children’s dietary sensitivities and allergies, which had previously gone undetected. There’s no evidence that a gluten-free meal plan is better than the healthful, balanced foods that all kids require unless your child has a special medical reason to avoid gluten. Before you begin preparing gluten-free meals, it is essential to know what gluten-free means!! (Growth and development of a child at one year)
