Interesting topic, the biggest holiday for candy and our kids are on low-fat diets. Do you take them trick or treating? What candy can they actually have? Should we celebrate at all? All of these questions are still in my mind since this is our first Halloween with LCHAD kids.

I asked other LCHAD moms how they handle Halloween because clearly I am not an expert and most of them said they still celebrate it and go trick or treating just at the end of the night they sort candy. Some throw away ordonate what their kids can't have. Some can have more than others but always in moderation. Some moms switch out their candy with stuff they can have.
It's all about the child, how well they understand the disease how you need to handle it. I think I will probably spare the heart ache of getting rid of Alexis' hard earned candy this year and take the fattening stuff out when she's not around. We will see, the conversation is bound to come up and I know she understands too much fat is bad for her and Hunter, I just want to spare her the heart ache for now.
