At Boston Children's Hospital's Needham campus, health education is happening in an unexpected place - the kitchen. When children are diagnosed with Celiac or other conditions that require dietary modification, the are "prescribed" these classes.
What looks at first like a cooking class, is actually a doctor's appointment designed to help children and families build real-life skills around food and health.
"It's a billable service that were offering. It's a nutrition education appointment, and we're giving them the education as well as some practical skills," explained culinary nutrition manager Nolan Reese.
All hospitals need to follow this lead! Sticking to a gluten free diet requires more than education and intellectual knowledge. Practical skills are so important and build confidence. Prior studies show that practice and confidence are correlated with adherence to a gluten free diet.
