That's a tough one.

When my kids were little, we let them trick or treat. Once we got home, they "traded" me their offensive candies for some homemade treats. I made fudge, brownies, mini cup cakes, ect. and cut and wrapped them up into bite sized pieces. The trading process extended the thrill of trick or treating. The kids didn't mind giving up their Snickers. Good luck.

Hi.

Whole Foods and naturalcandystore.com have gluten-free, dairy-free treats made without high fructose corn syrup, so they're corn free too. The Surf Sweets gummy bears, sour gummy bears and jellybeans are yummy.

Also, I second what Jeanne mentioned.....providing a trade-bag filled with small toys, Halloween pencils, glow sticks, etc. and a few candy treats that your little one can have. My son can't have artificial food dye, preservatives or flavor either so we swap his Halloween loot. We just tell him that the people his dad works with love it when he brings in candy, so daddy's taking his candy to work. Then, I have a super cool trade bag for him. About a week ago he told me he couldn't wait for his Halloween bag. Guess I did a good job last year. B)

BTW Target has lots of good Halloween favors.

Have fun!

The corn allergy is a tough one. The boy I knew who had it also had an allergy to some kind of yellow dye. I bought some candy he could eat at the health food store. I can't remember what it was called. They were little fruit flavored pellets.

Its definitely tough to get around the candy problem....especially with kids : ( But Sun Rype makes a 100% real fruit candy....thet're in little tiny pieces so they actually seem like candy. On the back they even say gluten-free which made me feel WAY better giving them to her. Sometimes its so overwhelming trying to remember what is what. So, try these out they might just do the trick : )

Good luck!!!

      Popcorn pain

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      Popcorn pain

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
