Keeping Your Child’s Gut Happy During Halloween Parties

Halloween is one of the most exciting times of the year for kids—costumes, candy, and plenty of parties. But for children with sensitive stomachs or GI conditions, the holiday can also bring digestive challenges. The good news is, with a little preparation, your child can still enjoy all the fun while keeping their gut happy.

🎃 Be Mindful With Candy

Candy overload is one of the biggest triggers for tummy troubles during Halloween. Too much sugar can lead to bloating, diarrhea, or stomach pain.

Tips for parents:

  • Encourage moderation by setting a limit on treats.

  • Mix candy with healthier snacks like fruit or whole-grain crackers.

  • Keep an eye out for sugar-free candies with sorbitol or xylitol, which can upset sensitive stomachs.

🧡 Choose Allergy-Friendly Options

Halloween parties often have a mix of snacks, which can be tricky for kids with food allergies or celiac disease.

  • Look for gluten-free, nut-free, or dairy-free options when possible.

  • Bring a small bag of safe snacks so your child can join in without worry.

  • Support the Teal Pumpkin Project, which promotes non-food treats for kids with allergies.

Stick to a Routine

Even with parties and trick-or-treating, try to keep your child’s regular meal schedule. Eating balanced meals before candy and snacks can reduce overeating and help digestion stay on track.
