The Celiac Kids’ Club magazine is edited by Calli and Victoria Garcia from Colorado Springs. This mother-daughter editorial team approached GIG with the idea of a quarterly magazine that connects and educates children with gluten intolerances, like Calli, on safe alternatives for gluten foods through recipes, games and activities. Nine-year-old Calli and her mother write every story, including the many adventures of a celiac mouse named Swheats who helps readers understand the importance of not feeling inferior for eating differently. Calli bases Swheats’ stories on her own experiences and those of her three sisters – all who have celiac disease.
