A- Ask

Always ask if food is gluten-free before eating it. Grown-ups can help check ingredients and labels.

Is this gluten free?

B- Be Brave

It takes courage to say “No, thank you” when you’re not sure food is safe. Being brave keeps your body healthy.

No thank you. I cannot eat that, I am gluten free!

Look for words like wheat, barley, or rye. Checking labels helps you spot gluten before it sneaks in.

It’s kind to share, but sharing food can be risky. 

Keep your own safe snacks ready instead.

Teach friends what gluten-free means. The more people know, the safer everyone is.

I am gluten free, this means I cannot have anything made with gluten.

There are so many delicious gluten-free foods. Try new things until you find your favorites.

Be a detective — gluten hides in sauces, soups, candy, and even play dough! Always double-check.

If someone else has a food allergy or intolerance, help them stay safe too. Everyone deserves safe food.

When planning parties or snacks, think about everyone’s needs. That’s how you show kindness.

We are going to give fruit as a snack today to ensure everyone can have a snack together!

You can still enjoy birthdays, holidays, and fun events — just bring your gluten-free treats.

Would you like a cupcake?

No thank you! I brought my gluten free cupcakes, but thank you!

There’s always something new to learn about gluten-free living. Ask questions and keep growing.

If you don’t feel well, tell an adult. Your body gives clues when something isn’t right.

I don't feel so good.....

Plan ahead for school lunches, trips, or parties so you always have something safe to eat.

You’re not missing out, you’re staying healthy. There’s always a gluten-free version of something fun.

When someone doesn’t understand, offer to explain or show them what gluten-free means.

That's because I am gluten free. I CANNOT eat gluten, or I'll get really sick! Sometimes my snacks or food looks different, but that's what's safe for me!

Hey! Why did you have a different snack at lunch?

Use clean counters, toasters, and utensils. Even crumbs can cause problems.

If you’re unsure about a food, ask. It’s always okay to double-check before you eat.

I'm scared this cookie isn't gluten free. They told me it is, but I'm just worried it contains gluten and could get me sick...

Always speak up and ask to be sure it is safe for you! If you are scared, ask an adult or friend to help you make sure.

Reading labels is a superpower. You can spot gluten words and keep your body strong.
