It’s that time of year…Halloween
is almost here! That also means that
hoards of happy kids will be looking for candy…and us adults waiting to sneak
some of their hard-earned plunder; but what about kids (and adultsJ) who are gluten-free?
It’s very true that this can be a difficult and scary time, how will people
respond when a little wizard or princess shows up at their door, coyly
investigates their bowl of candy and proceeds to grill them about the contents
of their candy? In order to keep your kids (and yourself) safe from gluten help
them prepare before trick-or-treating with this list of gluten-free candy
provided by the Celiac Disease Foundation (click
HERE to find the
list).
Take it one step further and
suggest (like I have) that your friends and family provide only gluten-free
candy this year for Halloween. There are
plenty of sweet and delicious gluten-free candies (like Snickers, Caramel Apple
Pops or Smarties) that are popular with kids regardless of their being free of
gluten.
Here’s to a sweet October!
Be well,
