I used to get plastic disposable gloves-the thin, clear kind that don't have starch in them, and put one candycorn in each finger for the fingernails, then fill with popcorn and secure with a twist tie or ribbon at the wrist. It's my understanding that candycorn isn't gluten-free but maybe you could sub another candy.

Orange gelatin-made with the mix or with knox gelatin and pure orange juice-maybe check the Jello website for ideas

I'm making kiddo individual pumpkin custards-pumpkin pie minus the crust. gluten-free crust is definitely doable though.

Cut apple wedges and serve with a caramel dipping sauce. This next one was a huge sucess for my son's class. "Cheese Fingers" : Take cheese sticks and cut them in half. Take a knive and score in a few places to resemble the knuckles and cut out at the end a little place and put a dab of cream cheese and stick a slice almond on the end to resemble a finger nail. Of course you could inprovise and use a carrot sliver or red pepper piece for the nail too. The kids loved them and was acceptable for a "healthy" treat for school. I have also made spiders out of ritz crackers, stick pretzels, mini chocolate chips and peanut butter. However this was pre celiac days. You could find gluten free substitutes and make as follows: Put peanut butter between two crackers and stick 8 stick pretzels (4 on each side) for spider legs. Dab a little peanut butter on the bottom of the mini chocolate chips and place on top of cracker for eyes. Also I think jello jigglers would be alright too.

Ants on a log- celery with peanut butter and raisins on top. Don't kids still eat that?

Spiders

*1 box Glutino crackers (or your favorite)

*1 tbl (for each spider) peanut butter or nutella spread

*glutino pretzel sticks

*1/4 cup raisins

Take 2 crackers spread pb or nutella and press together. Poke 8 pretzels into the pb to form the legs. Dip the raisins into pb and stick on the top of the crackers for eyes. My daughters love this.

Witches teeth ---

half circle slices of granny smith apples - lying with the straight edge on top (top lip) and the curved edge on bottom (creating a smile)

smear pb or caramel sauce on top half

place 3-4 mini marshmallows on pb to make crooked ugly teeth

(I'd check first --- pb might not be ok due to nut allergies)

This can be time consuming depending on how many kids are in his class but absolutely adorable! I have done it each year for each of my kids and receive lots of compliments....

Take a small orange, cut off its top (save for later), and scoop out its insides and place them into a big bowl. (you can save those insides to make fresh juice or slushies for the family later) Do not scoop too aggressively or you will create holes. When finished, fill with red jell-o, place in the fridge, and allow to set fully. When the jell-o is completely set, use a knife (or x-acto knife) to carve a simple jack-o-lantern face into the orange. Place the top back onto the orange and it looks like you have a small, lit, jack-o-lantern!

It's kid friendly, gluten free, healthier-ish, and always a welcome treat both at halloween time and during the cold season.

Ghosts on Broomsticks: pretzels, fruit roll up and chocolate chips. Ok, not too healthy but it's halloween. They aren't going to eat them daily for the next year! Directions and photo here:

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
