Reply to comment by dfreinc in LPT: if you’re trick or treating with a child with food allergies, bring your own candy! by 99badwolfbaloons

Allergies AND braces! That’s a tough combo for candy!!

Ours asks ‘billy food?’ Or ‘Gaga food?’ (That’s what he calls his sister) since he was around two. So he’s definitely figuring it out! We’re lucky that so far we’ve found a pretty close food for everything he can’t have -except for pizza really.

I like that. My daughter is a type 1 diabetic. She went trick or treating. At a closed event this year And she picked out maybe 20 of her favorite candies to ration over the course of a week. She'll get more and do the same thing but then she just gives the rest to her brothers.

I’m glad she still gets to participate! People who are lucky enough to not have to worry about safely doing regular kid stuff can’t imagine how good it feels when your kid who needs a little extra care is able to experience something that healthy kids get to do all the time!
