Description
Alexandra Mpakosi and co-authors review, in a 2026 paper, what it takes to keep children with celiac disease safe at school. For these children, even traces of gluten can do harm, and schools are full of hidden routes to it. The review gathers clinical, group, and food science studies on the practical, social, and nutritional barriers these pupils face.
Busy school kitchens risk cross-contact through shared tools and airborne flour. Common alcohol hand gels do almost nothing against the sticky protein, so real washing matters. In classrooms, wheat-based craft materials give children a non-food path to ingestion. The strain can feed exclusion, teasing, and low mood. Store-bought gluten-free foods often lack added nutrients, deepening shortages these children already risk. The authors argue that case-by-case fixes are not enough: schools need standing kitchen rules and classroom-wide adaptations.
