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!).

I was a carebear, too! Good choice of costume :)

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

And made Open Original Shared Link faces.

And Open Original Shared Link on a pumpkin. Because that's what you do on halloween. :)

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.)

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.
