Celiac disease is a lifelong gastroenterological disease that has been talked about more and more lately, but still not enought. In past it used to be considered exclusively a childhood disease, but with the advancement of medicine and diagnostic tests, it has been noticed that adults also often get sick. The disease occurs due to the intake of gluten and can manifest in various ways. In childhood, disease often manifests until the second year of life through digestive symptoms, but there are also extraintestinal symptoms such as short stature or delayed puberty. Currently the only way to treat this disease is strict and lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet. In order to gain a better insight into the specifics of celiac disease in childhood, the paper sought to present all important parts of a child's coexistence with this disease, from the onset of symptoms and diagnosis to treatment and adaptation to necessary changes. The paper also aims to show the impact of the disease on parents and kindergarten educators who invest a lot of effort in the design and implementation of various activities in which all children can participate equally. It turned out to be interesting that younger children cope much better with illness and with adjustment to diet than older ones or adults. One of the reasons is the significant influence of parents on the child at that age. Parental effort provides child with the necessary sense of security and helps them develop self-confidence and self-awareness. Parents themselves often find it difficult to cope with the new situation and changes, so education and workshops about celiac disease should be encouraged. Such educations can provide parents with the necessary information and help them adjust. On the other hand, education is also desirable in kindergartens for teachers who work with sick children, as well as for other children who would learn about diversity and equality through them.
