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.)

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
