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.

  I was just thinking this same thing - requesting repeat testing prior to giving up gluten. Makes sense. Thanks!

  Since you're having a last hurrah with gluten, request another round of blood tests for celiac antibodies. Make sure you're eating ten grams or more daily for those few weeks before your capsule endoscopy. You probably weren't eating a sufficient amount of gluten needed to provoke sufficient antibody production.

  Christmas Cake
  
  Hello all I am taking some time out from work today to make my annual Christmas cake along the lines of a tried and tested English recipe which means a fruit cake, with marzipan and icing. As usual, I've left it too late - we're meant to bake these things some time in advance to improve the flavour. I never remember. But it never seems to matter...
