The children’s inclination for the appearance or taste of four different brands of chocolate biscuits, breakfast biscuits, and breadsticks is what needs to be investigated. The accomplishment would be to determine the visual and taste fondness of three gluten-free commercial products. This study would help nurses during patient teachings to make recommendations of gluten-free products and it would help nurses in the appearance of foods being served to patients. Kildegaard et al. have presented that the way the food looks will define if the child will eat it or not. Cooke & Wardle found that girls select healthier foods than boys at all ages. Thirty children ,22 females and 8 males, age range 6-12 years, with diagnosis of celiac disease from more than 2 years were selected to do this study. The independent variables are the four different brands of three gluten free products, and the dependent variable is the high preference of appearance test. The children used the 5-point hedonic facial scale to evaluate the different foods. The visual tests always showed higher scores in the 5-point scale than the taste-liking rating. The taste test showed that children’s anticipations were lower than expected. It is important to make the food given to patients have a nice appearance so they can at least try the food and not reject it without tasting it first. A limitation is that the children must’ve been diagnosed within two years with celiac disease. Manufacturing companies
