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:

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
