Reply to comment by Ghost-Toof in LPT: if you’re trick or treating with a child with food allergies, bring your own candy! by 99badwolfbaloons
We actually just watched that Daniel Tiger episode with him! Our little guy has a whole bunch of allergies at the moment (hoping he grows out of at least a couple!). But we’re so lucky that he’s an incredibly good eater and up for anything when it comes to food. It makes it a lot easier find foods for him knowing he’s easy to make happy!

Our boy picked up a Hershey almonds bar at the grocery store a few weeks back. Said. Hey buddy you gotta put that back. He pointed at the almond and say. I allergic? And put it back. It made me so happy, proud and relieved that he's on a start to the right path.

Yay! It feels good when they understand and don’t seem like they’re feeling are hurt by it. :) He turned three a couple weeks ago and he has the language now to talk about it more.
There’s one niche store that sells special bread he can have and we make a whole trip out of going and shopping for special foods he can have (usually sauces and stuff to dress up chicken/veggies/ rice). He loves it! And he tells everyone in the store he’s there for ‘billy bread!’

As an adult dx celiac this makes me so happy!
(And is also why I never take the last of a gf item on the shelf. )
