Israeli Celiac Navigator
Trusted75/100Everything a family with celiac in Israel needs, in the right order. The skill opens with the most expensive mistake, going gluten-free before the blood test and biopsy, which can mislead and obstruct diagnosis, and explains what is actually tested and when a repeat biopsy is required. After diagnosis it consolidates the entitlements almost nobody knows: what educational institutions must provide in every activity including trips, why portions must be packaged in a different colour with prominent marking, how to read Israeli food labels, the right to a suitable medication alternative when a health-basket drug is unsuitable, municipal welfare funding for therapeutic food, and the IDF track including profile 97 and the food stipend. It also covers the Passover trap, where kosher-for-Passover does not mean gluten-free. Use it when celiac is suspected, when arranging gan or school, or ahead of enlistment. Do NOT use for IgE food allergy or anaphylaxis, general meal planning, or clinical diagnosis.

Celiac in Israel is common, roughly one percent of the population, and the moment of diagnosis is exactly where families make the mistake that is most expensive to undo. A parent notices symptoms, reads that gluten is the problem, removes bread from the house, and only then sees a doctor. By that point the tests can already mislead. After diagnosis the entitlements are real but scattered: educational institutions must supply substitutes and mark portions distinctly, the health basket owes a suitable medication alternative when a drug is unsuitable, and the army pays a food stipend. This skill puts the sequence in the right order.
