Top Ten Gluten-free Halloween Treats
Celiac.com 10/24/2014 - Here are ten recipes for make-at-home Halloween treats that are guaranteed to put smiles on the faces of your young ones, and help you to breath a sigh of gluten-free relief.
The recipes are gluten-free, or easily modified to be gluten-free. Remember to double-check ingredients, such as caramel (I use Kraft caramels without any issues).
Also, many of these recipes list ingredients that acre fat-free, sugar-free, low-fat, and/or low sugar. I always ignore such instructions and include full-fat, full-sugar alternatives, but prepare according to your own tastes.

The Top 16 Gluten-Free Candy Bars
Celiac.com 04/21/2020 (Updated on 03/05/2021) - We've had more than a few requests for a handy list of top candy bars that are gluten-free. Note that although some of these bars do not use "gluten-free" on their labels, they do list all ingredients and disclose whether they contain any of the top 8 allergens. If you're a candy bar lover looking for a reliable source of gluten-free candy bars, it's always best to look for bars that specifically marked "gluten-free," however, many of the bars in this list have been consumed for years by celiacs without issues, and don't contain any gluten ingredients. These major brands of candy bars are widely available, are gluten-free by ingredient and allergen disclosures, and deliver good bang for the buck.

  Hello, @glucel, I lost sixty pounds in six weeks. It was shocking. Fat loss as well as muscle wasting. Thiamine is needed to turn carbohydrates, fats, and protein into energy. With insufficient Thiamine, the body uses a shortcut to save thiamine. The body stores carbohydrates as fat, and later burns the stored fat for energy, a process which...

  I think potato chips can be fine depending on the oil used and the amount of salt on them, so if they help you gain weight you may want to keep them in your routine.

  Maybe celiac, maybe just ncgs?
  
  I also had issues with severe neck and shoulder pain for years, so this may be a symptom of celiac disease. In case you end up screening negative for celiac disease, approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely s...

  Many thanks to everyone for the advice received and especially to Knitty Kitty. I have ordered a one month supply of Benfotiamine and very much look forward to trying it. The expression "I felt like I was dying" really resonates with me. I have other symptoms which I didn't mention, such as vertigo and brain fog which are referenced by knitty kitty in...

  OK maybe I will look at future blood test just for historical changes. I am taking b vitamins as I mentioned in my other post to you. Definitely interested in Benfotiaminefor intestinal issues. However I already seem to be feeling some improvement in diverticulosis. Constipation gone but I think that resuming glucosamine may have something to do with that...
