Well, I have never eaten so little Halloween candy in my life.

And I don't think I will want it again.

I woke up with a sugar HANGOVER!!!!

We have BAGS of that crap left. Not as many kids came by as we expected. What should I do with it? Throw it out?

If it's not open give it to the food pantry!

Unfortunately the bags are open.

Trying to talk hubby into taking it to a customer - building full of engineers. They always want sugar and caffeine......

Makes me green to look at it.

Even if the bags are open if the candy is wrapped inside your local food bank will be happy to use it and the clients will be happy to recieve a treat.

Oh yeah baby. I'll be taking it to a food pantry, then.

On top of the leftovers, our son has a huge bag. Ugh!

We have a couple of local dentists that buy back candy (to get it out of the kid's hands mouths) at something like a dollar a pound.

The fitness center where my husband works has a drop off your extra Halloween Candy drive for "Operation Gratitude". The candy is boxed up and sent to military personnel overseas. Google it for more info.

Take a look around your community. You might find a program like this.

At work there was a humungous pile of candy on the table in the lunch room.....

What my family always did with the halloween candy was we would pick out the candies we don't like. And we froze the rest. then we could take out a few peices at a time. Having it frozen was a good deterent from trying to eat it all at once because some candies are not good frozen especially since we used the basement freezer which was always set to a low temp.

We were going to give it to the troops through a buy back but couldn't find a close drop off site quickly enough and ended up eating some :( it was not pretty. Finally we just threw it in the trash.

Btw, we didn't buy candy this year but the kids wanted to trick or treat for the fun of it, so all we had was the candy they got in the hour they were out.

For a real treat, my partner made gaps legal caramel apples!

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I noticed eating gluten-free or CGF foods have higher sugar and sodium some. No added sugar protein bars I found better with plant fiber. I wanted to know what are you go to besides whole fruits/veggies that you find are healthy for you where you can feel eating normal without hurting yourself or health. I was looking into subscription based like Thrift to see if there is something that is healthier CGF that can make me feel normal. Thanks

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!
