Dylan Dreyer's entire family have changed their eating habits this year to accommodate her seven-year-old son Calvin, who was diagnosed with Celiac Disease several months ago. 

As a result, the Today Show has been going to great lengths to ensure her little boy doesn't miss out when it comes to tasty treats, and found time in her hectic schedule to prepare gluten-free dough to pack up ready to take for their holiday this week. 

The family are going away to celebrate Fourth of July, and before work, Dylan whipped up two lots of gluten free dough - one for a pizza base, and another to make hamburger buns.

The 41-year-old mother-of-three shared a photo of the meal prep on social media, which had been taken from her kitchen in her home in New York City. 

The dough had been made by an assortment of ingredients which were also pictured, including potato starch and tapioca flour.

Dylan wrote alongside the picture: "Just a little gluten-free dough prep for the holiday weekend using everyday ingredients…"

Comments soon flooded in, with many full of praise for the star. "You are an amazing Lady. And such a good Mom. Like my 93 year old mother says, 'If you want something done, give it to a busy person.' I enjoy you so much. Your smile is infectious! Take care!" Another wrote: "I just don't know how you do it!" A third added: "Would love to know these recipes!"

Calvin described his symptoms to be a "sharp pain, every day, not a different pain, always a sharp pain." The mom-of-three mentioned that he'd frequently ask to be excused from the dinner table, and he responded that it was because his "belly hurt, and I had to lay on the couch."

The family have since changed their diets and completely cut out gluten. Calvin revealed that now he was feeling "terrific" and a "thousand percent better," with Dylan describing it all as a "huge transition for everyone in the family."
