Introduction
All wheat products contain gluten. However, avoiding gluten is not as simple as avoiding wheat, gluten is added to many food products. Anyone with celiac disease, a gluten allergy, or a gluten sensitivity needs to be very careful when making choices about what to eat. -
How to Make Puss Filled Pimples

Step 1: Contact Your Child's School
Candy and treats are frequently distributed at school. After you've researched what's safe, send a note in so that teachers know what you child is and isn't allowed to have. The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness has put together a sample letter you can use.http://www.celiaccentral.org/SiteData/docs/Gluten-Free-Candy-List/370e802df5a4b099ad419d940cf8fe22/Gluten-Free-Candy-List.pdfStep 2: Bring Gluten Free Treats to Parties
You'll be able to relax while socializing, if you know that the treats you're eating are gluten free. Make a batch of gluten free cupcakes, or create "boneyard" chicken drumsticks with a gluten free glaze.http://glutenfreecooking.about.com/od/appetizerssnacksand/r/bbqdrummies.htm You can make a plate of zombie fingers out of carrot sticks topped with an olive nail, or make puss filled pimples by stuffing cherry tomatoes with gluten free cream cheese. Be creative, and no one will realize that you're bringing "special food".Step 3: Distribute Gluten Free Snacks
If you want to distribute gluten free treats, you can still hand out candy. Most candy manufacturers will indicate on their website which products are gluten free; if an item is not labeled gluten free, don't use it. There are many lists of gluten free candy circulating on the Internet, but some are several years old. Manufacturers change the formulation of their products periodically, so don't rely on any lists of gluten free candy unless you've verified that the information is current.
