"I have Celiac, not 
After reading the book, I wanted to interview the author to understand What had pushed towards this adventure.
The book is an easy and clear guide to navigate the world of celiac disease, especially with regard to some aspects really useful.
I found it very smooth and even tips on how to deal with, from the psychological point of view, the change due to the gluten-free diet.
Raffaella Oppimitti graduated in Modern Literature at the University of Milan, he worked in publishing for some years and was trained in different public and private schools.
In this book offers his experience with children, his studies in social psychology but also his experience as a Celiac.
Gianfranco Trapani, a pediatrician and homeopath and an expert in nutrition, working with the University of Milan and with the School of Homeopathic Medicine Biotherapy Society which runs the home to Genoa is also a founding member of the Italian Society of Homeopathy and integrated medicine where he was vice president.
interview with Raffaella Oppimitti:
1) Who should have the book?
The book is primarily addressed to all people with celiac disease at any age, newly diagnosed or longstanding, and parents of children or young people living with intolerance. Can be very useful but also to those who spend much time with children with celiac disease and that they share such as the time of lunch or a snack, so here it is also useful to grandparents, uncles or baby-sitter, to clarify better ideas about what this intolerance, and above all avoid getting the wrong idea and think that maybe in chocolate ice cream and there can be no gluten!
Also the book is also recommended to anyone in the world of work have to do with celiac disease: educators and teachers who follow the children in time for lunch and snack, chefs and restaurateurs, who may face a celiac asking them to have a dish fit for him, to avoid but to be prepared to know how to satisfy the customer.
Here in the preface reads:
A book with these characteristics working to provide necessary circulation and deserves to be read and consulted, not only by parents of celiac disease or celiac disease, but also by pediatricians, by gastroenterologists, by general practitioners and all those who play an operational role in the health sector.

2) How did the idea, in collaboration with Dr. Trapani and how long it took the writing?
The idea comes mainly from the desire to convey to others that celiac disease should not be seen as a disease, but it must be accepted and lived in the most peaceful possible. I am celiac since I was little so the experience was key to center the real issues of the celiac and Dr. Trapani also has celiac disease! The collaboration with him comes from the fact that I wanted the readers were in the medical treatment of an authoritative voice and competent che non ero in grado di fornire io stessa, non essendo medico.
Aggiungo che il progetto iniziale nasce anche un'esigenza di mercato: non ci sono in Italia libri paragonabili a questo perché tanti sono i ricettari, ma una guida pratica alla celiachia ancora non era stata pubblicata in questi termini.
3) In sintesi, quali sono i contenuti del libro?
Ecco in sintesi la struttura del libro.
• Trattazione di ambito medico, in cui sono affrontati con precisione e competenza ma con un linguaggio assolutamente accessibile, sintomi, cause e sviluppi della celiachia e non manca l'analisi delle ultime novità quali vaccino e pillola anti celiachia, di cui oggi si parla much.
• discussion of the psychological and social-emotional, which is widely discussed in relation to different age groups (from weaning to 3 years, from 3 to 6, from 6 to 11 years, adolescence and adulthood) in view the fact that the reaction to the diagnosis of celiac disease varies by age of the person first. The reaction of children in preschool and school age is usually influenced by how the family reacts to changes, adolescence is considered the most critical age for the important psychological and relational aspects typical of this time of life, while in ' adulthood generally depends on the approach storia personale e dallo stato di salute dell’individuo, è infatti più semplice accettare un cambiamento così forte se si proviene da un’esperienza di sofferenza fisica, perché in questo caso mettersi a dieta può essere vissuto come il modo per ritrovare il proprio benessere. In qualsiasi momento della vita sopraggiunga la diagnosi di celiachia è di fondamentale importanza avere un supporto familiare e sociale. Bisogna soprattutto cercare di contenere l’ansia che tutti, pazienti e familiari, provano all’inizio della loro vita da celiaci. Essere celiaci in una famiglia che si adatta a modificare il proprio stile di vita è sicuramente più facile!
• Ma soprattutto grande importanza è data all’aspetto pratico: dall’ABC delle cose da fare dopo la diagnosi a come ottenere l’esenzione dei prodotti senza glutine e come seguire correttamente la dieta senza glutine, dalla richiesta dei prodotti in farmacia a come fare la spesa al supermercato, dall' organizzazione in casa all’alimentazione a scuola, a casa di amici e parenti, ma anche al ristorante, in viaggio e in vacanza, anche all’estero.
Contiene una ricca appendice di ricette approvate da Rossella Valmarana, Presidente AIC (Associazione Italiana Celiachia) Lombardia Onlus che sono garantite al celiaco, da preparare in totale sicurezza e un dizionarietto in italiano-inglese e inglese-italiano con i termini utili per il celiaco in viaggio all’estero.
4) How is your condition now to celiac?
peace, as everyone should do and how I wish everyone did. I like to think and live with celiac disease not as a difficulty to be faced but as a feature, a feature to be able to exploit the occasion: thanks to celiac disease I had the opportunity to write this book and this is a practical demonstration that all those who ' appearance may seem weaknesses can become strengths.
5) What projects have for the future? Other initiatives, publications?
When I want to focus on celiac disease, the initiatives that I would like to accomplish are many, like ideas, but the project very dear to me, that seems to be materializing is the management on behalf of AIC (Italian Celiac Association) of cooking classes for children with celiac disease, which should become active in the month of February next year: you look with your children!
