A family must change their way of life when they discover their young child has an invisible medical condition that society has overlooked. 18 years ago, the Couroux Family’s youngest son, James, was diagnosed with Celiac Disease (CD), forcing them to change their way of life. His parents, Daniel and Patricia, found themselves working hard to find the best options for James. Meanwhile, James struggled to cope with the mental and psychological effects of his diagnosis, revealing the darker side of CD. With support from expert opinions, Cake-Bomb is a film that aims to explore what it is like to raise a child with CD, as well as what it is like to be that child.
