Oh The Sadness Of Halloween...

While my kids don't go trick or treating, I do give out candy and my kids usually get the leftovers

My son is already looking at it and asking So what can I have. I told him probably nothing. He looked so sad.

Are there any gluten free halloween candies? I could take the time to research, but frankly right now we're trying to figure out what real foods he can eat. Any quick answers?

Thank you!!

Check out the "My Gluten Facts" website www.myglutenfacts.com/events/gluten-free-halloween-candy-list-2011. They have halloween lists that are updated every year, and have different lists for both Canada and the U.S. (not sure which country you're in but hopefully one of these will help).

I have been giving our Herseys milk chocolate bars, I am allergic to casian's but I seem to be able to eat them. I buy them real close to the day cause I don't want to eat them all. They have the small mouthful bars not cheap but good.

With food allergies and Celiac, DS can't have any candy. We do the Switch Witch here who takes the candy and leaves toys (Lego's this year).

Also, we give out goodie bags free of candy to T-or-Ters, This way no kid will be left out no matter if they do/don't have food issues!

Plenty of candies are gluten-free. No reason to be sad.

And I had an email (I can't remember which gluten-free website it was from...!) and they listed these two options:

      Kan-101

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products...

      Welcome to the forum, @Dana0207! Another diagnostic approach would be to get biopsied for dermatitis herpetiformis which would not require an extensive exposure to gluten. But it would need to be done during an active outbreak of the rash. Celiac disease is the only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it would be a definitive diagnosis. It might be...

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten.

That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products have been processed in such a way to remove enough of the protein gluten to comply with the FDA regulation but usually do retain some gluten and we usually get reports from some people on this forum who fall in the more sensitive range that such products cause them to react. Hope this helps. So, you may just have to experiment for yourself.

It might be tricky, however, to time the dermatology appointment with the gluten exposure and outbreak.

      Is “Caputo Fioreglut Gluten Free Flour” truly gluten free?  The main ingredient is supposed to be gluten free wheat starch along with other ingredients.  However, the resulting homemade bread made with this flour so resembles homemade gluten bread that it seems Caputo must have some gluten?
