For those of you who need a Cheerio's substitute I found some good cereal called Perky O's....it comes in frosted which I like alot and Apple Cinnamon which is pretty good...they have a plain one as well but I have not tried it.

Yes, I really like them too. I like the frosted better than the apple cinnamon. I personally think they don't taste that great in milk b/c they have a weird film on them. They are great as a snack by themselves with O.J. Yum!

As I am reading this post, my other hand is digging through a container of Frosted Perky O's sitting on my desk. I bought them for the first time on Saturday at the new store in Dillsburg. I cannot believe how good they tasted. I miss frosted cereals so these make me happy. I do not know how they taste with milk, I do dry cereal as a snack alot.

PS--I was really iffy on buying the cereal at first, it was $6 a box.... :unsure: but I can see purchasing it again.

They should make you perky, we can't find them locally, but if you get 10 on gluten free mall, you get a case discount, we buy 10 bokes every month or so... SOO yummy

I haven't tried these, but thanks for sharing that you like them. I will try and find them. SO far we did try the Glutino "cheerios" and they weren't very good at all. My son would probably love these. THanks alot.

They have them on gluten free mall, and you can mix&match flavors I think, i get all plain becasue they are the only that don't have corn in them, but I also like the flavor a lot more than the other two.

Yeah, these are definately good enough (maybe a bit too exepnsive thoug) to eat for someone that isn't evn on a gluten-free diet.

Great! Glad to hear of all the good responses to this cereal, as my son is 11 months old and the "cheerios age" is about to kick in. He is a gluten free kid. So now I know a cereal I can give him. Thanks!

My two year old loves the frosted Perky O's. But my daughter only likes the Cinnamon Ceros (Heartlands Best I think???) I think I've started something terrible though now that I gave them some Cocoa Puffs for a treat yesterday. Going back to the less sugary cereal is going to be a bugger. I've had such a sweet tooth this pregnancy, and love sugary cereal at night, my kids are definately reaping the benefits of this! :P

      Oh, okay. The lower case "b" in boots in your first post didn't lead me in the direction of a proper name. I thought maybe it was a specialty apothecary for people with pedal diseases or something.

      50 YO Male Recently Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! There are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:

      Hi @trents Just seen this - Boot's is a chain of pharmacies in the UK, originally founded in the 19th Century by a chap with the surname, Boot.  It's a household name here in the UK and if you say you are going to Boot's everyone knows you are off to the pharmacist! Cristiana

      I am looking to find a Celiac Dietician who is affiliated with the Celiac Disease Foundation who I can set up an appointment with.  Can you possibly give some guidance on this?  Thank you!

      Nacina, Knitty Kitty has given you good advice. But I would say/add find a Fat Soluble B-1 like Benfotiamine for best results.  The kind found in most Multivitamins have a very low absorption rate. This article shows how taking a Fat Soluble B-1 can effectively help absorption by 6x to7x times. https://www.naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal/thiamine-deficiency-and-diabetic-polyneuropathy quoting from the article.... "The group ingesting benfotiamine had maximum plasma thiamine levels that were 6.7 times higher than the group ingesting thiamine mononitrate.32" Also, frequency is much more important than amount when it comes to B-Vitamin. These are best taken with meals because they provide the fat for better absorption. You will know your B-Vitamin is working properly when your urine becomes bright yellow all the time. This may take two or three months to achieve this.......maybe even longer depending on how low he/you are. The Yellow color is from excess Riboflavin bypassing the Kidneys....... Don't stop them until when 2x a day with meals they start producing a bright yellow urine with in 2 or 3 hours after the ingesting the B-Complex...... You will be able to see the color of your urine change as the hours go by and bounce back up after you take them in the evening. When this happens quickly......you are now bypassing all the Riboflavin that is in the supplement. The body won't absorb more than it needs! This can be taken as a "proxy" for your other B-Vitamin levels (if taken a B-Complex) ...... at least at a quick and dirty level......this will only be so for the B-1 Thiamine levels if you are taking the Fat Soluble forms with the Magnesium as Knitty Kitty mentioned. Magnesium is a Co-Factor is a Co-factor for both Thiamine and Vitamin D and your sons levels won't improve unless he also takes Magnesium with his Thiamine and B-Complex. You will notice his energy levels really pick up.  His sleeping will improve and his muscle cramps will get better from the Magnesium! Here is nice blog post that can help you Thiamine and it's many benefits. I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice God speed on your son's continued journey I used to be him. There is hope! 2 Tim 2:7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included. Posterboy by the grace of God,
