We had a great Halloween!

The girls were a black cat, a bunny, and a Carebear. They were adorable!

They went trick or treating for almost two hours!

The parties were good. I'm roommom for one class and assistant roommom for the other so I'm really partied out! But the kids had fun (and stayed gluten-free!).

What were your costumes? they were a ghost ghoul thing, black spiderman, race car driver, and 2 princesses

Did you trick or treat? yes we did but they had more fun handing out candy lol

How'd the school parties go? didnt have parties at school, they go to an private school and due to an religion that doesnt celebrate halloween, they cant have halloween parties. so no costumes at school, but they did play a few fall festival games and did get some candy, so they were happy lol

Well the baby was a dinosaur. And he had to fit in with his older brothers. so he carried a red sox pillowcase up to each house and got candy. Whe the tween and teenage brothers surveyed the candy.. They were taking the candy that the baby could have. meanies. SOOOOO the only problem Halloween presented was when the candy was not put in the bag , and the baby had it . There was an incident where a wrapper ( toddler ...I call him the baby he is two ) he took the wrapper off and I only saw the piece of chocolate , it was a hersheys chocolate with puffed rice. ( I was worried about the MALT that might be in it . ) BUT it was a good run. I am nervous about school parties. I can control it for the most part and so many treats are GLUTEN FREE ... Millions but that one percent always ends up in my kids mouth. He has not been glutend in a few months .. ( he ate some thing his brother left out on a counter, a kids cliff bar) SO hopefully things will go good. chris

They were Ariel and a butterfly princess. Too cute! They had a blast!!! The only sad faces came when we sorted the candy. So much candy went to the office!!! But I refilled the bags with safe treats so all is good in the world again!!

School parties went well. Allergy and gluten safe snacks sent in to share. No reactions and lots of fun. Life is good!

I had a little ladybug and a baby caterpillar. They looked so adorable! We went trick-or-treating, but we only had about 45 minutes because Tori had school the next day. She had a BLAST and the baby slept through it all. It was fun. Luckily, we got mostly gluten free goodies. Even though my daughter is currently eating gluten for testing, I still don't allow any of it to come into my house. I get sick way to easily to have it come in here, especially with messy eaters (husband included). :)

The kids had a great time.

Carleigh was a princess. Nick was a Transformer that actually transformed into a car. I was at the school for the parties, and then we went to a Halloween party. Nick won "Most Original" for his age group and even made it into the newspaper with pictures and a small article. Then they went trick-or-treating for a little while.

Carleigh isn't a big candy eater, since so much is not safe for her. So, we decided to get a webkin to trade for the candy. She picked an adorable little white bunny that she named Candy :lol:

Halloween was WONDERFUL! We had a blast

Katharine was the Pink Power Ranger

Michael was Bob the Builder

Lots of tricks and treats (mostly gluten-free by luck of the draw so not too many frowns!)

School party was great, I am room mom so my critter stayed gluten-free and happy!

Great thread! So nice to read and write happy stuff!

We had a great Halloween with no glutenings!

Our "candy swap" worked well. My son is allergic to peanuts and my daughter a Celiac so we did a straight swap of peanut candy for gluten candy.

For any suspect gluten + peanut candy, well, my husband and I took care of that very promptly. <_<

My daughter was a bit worried about it, but she made it through with nary a problem!

Oh yeah, my son was a knight in shining armor and my daughter was a Renaissance princess. It worked out splendidly!

We had a good Halloween, too! :) Lucas was Spiderman, and Ezra was Darth Vader (again!)

No glutenings from the school parties, or trick or treat candy! They got ridiculous amounts of candy. :rolleyes: We had to trade out some, but the kids didn't mind. We gave all the gluteny candy to my dad, which he was happy about! :lol: My husband almost never eats candy. (I think he might be an alien.)

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
