    Gluten Free Halloween Candy List

    Looking for Gluten Free Halloween Candy for family and friends? I've got you covered with this ultimate list so whether you have celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity this list is for you. From chocolate to hard candies and everything in between.  

    *Always check ingredient labels to be sure because formulations often change.*

    WHAT IS GLUTEN?

    Celiac disease is a serious illness that affects many people in the United States. Some people have a gluten intolerance which means they experience symptoms like bloating, gas, headaches, fatigue, and brain fog after consuming gluten.

    Sometimes these people are less sensitive to gluten and can handle foods made in a factory with gluten or some minor cross-contamination.

    Each person is different and it is important to keep a food diary to figure out how you react to certain foods on a gluten free diet or if you have other food allergies.

    Gluten is a family of proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. Gluten itself is not bad for you but for some people it can cause issues.

    Gluten acts as the glue that holds food together and helps it maintain its shape. It has a glue-like property that gives bread its chewy texture.  

    WHAT DOES GLUTEN DO TO YOUR BODY?

    Everyone reacts differently to gluten but for some sensitive individuals, it can cause problems. 

    According to The Harvard School of Public Health, gluten can cause fatigue, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, weight loss, and malnutrition in certain people who are sensitive to it. 

    It is estimated that 1 in 133 people have celiac disease in the United States but 83% have been misdiagnosed with someone else. 

    So it can be scary to think about trick or treating on Halloween and getting a bag full of candy that you are not sure you can eat.

    Well, I've got the ultimate list of gluten free Halloween candy for you and I hope it makes it much easier to get a straight answer so you aren't up late googling on Halloween night.

    Tips for Picking Gluten Free Halloween Candy

    1. Always read the labels carefully. If you are not sure about an ingredient do not eat them. Candy ingredients can be confusing because they contain a lot of additives and words we don't recognize. Look for these words to see if the candy contains gluten ingredients like wheat, malt, barley, rye, triticale, or oats.
    2. Formulations and ingredients change often so it's always best to double-check with the manufacturer's website to be sure.
    3. You can't always rely on the allergen statement disclosures that appear at the end of the ingredient list. You must check the ingredient labels to be sure.
    4. You can always donate the gluten-containing candy to a local food bank.
