Celiac.com 09/22/2025 - For many families, Halloween night is filled with excitement — kids running door to door in costumes, the sound of laughter on sidewalks, and the anticipation of discovering what's in the next treat bucket. But for children with celiac disease, food allergies, or other dietary needs, it can also be a night of uncertainty and exclusion.

The Teal Pumpkin Project, created by a food allergy mom and now led by FARE, is helping change that by encouraging households to offer non-food treats so every child can enjoy the fun.

Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
This year, Homefree — a bakery dedicated to making inclusive cookies free that are from the top 14 allergens, certified gluten-free, vegan, and kosher pareve — has created a special Teal Pumpkin Halloween Kit to make joining the movement easier. Inside are teal pencils for a safe, non-food option, a garden flag to signal your participation, and Homefree's allergy-friendly Vanilla Mini Cookies in teal packaging.

For every kit sold, Homefree will donate $1 to FARE's Teal Pumpkin Project to support its mission of making Halloween safe and inclusive for all.

Founded by a mom, baker, and clinical psychologist, Homefree has always believed that everyone deserves delicious treats they can trust. Now, it's easy to bring smiles to all the trick-or-treaters!

Learn more about the Teal Pumpkin Project and join in the fun with the Homefree Teal Pumpkin Project Kit on Amazon, available while supplies last.

  Struggling to get into a good pattern
  
  Yep,yep,yep, called it from experience. I've lived through SIBO and Candida myself. I get a different sorts of reactions to dairy, high sugar consumption, and gluten. I react to Casein, the protein in dairy. Try the AIP diet. Dr. Sarah Ballantyne designed it and is a Celiac herself. Her book, the Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.

I saw that you mentioned before in this chain that some people on this forum also get Candida infections. So it seems that I am possibly dealing that...

  Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease
  
  I'm concerned about calcium. I don't think I'm getting enough especially since I ended up having to get off dairy when I went gluten free. However, if you have too much calcium, it can deposit in the wrong places and you can get thinks like bone spurs. I'd like find a decent supplement for that. Was thinking of looking into the algae based calcium supplements...
