Barbara's Bakery Cereal

I used to eat Barbara's Bakery Brown Rice Crisps last year before I even knew I had a problem w/ gluten. I always felt bad after eating cereal. Now that I'm gluten free I thought maybe the cereal is ok but maybe the milk or Rice Dream I used back then were the only reason for feeling bad.

Sunday morning I had the cereal again and Sunday night I was having a full-on gluten reaction. The first one in awhile. :(

I just happened to be looking at the Delphi list today and it says Barbara's Bakery cereals are made on the same equipment as gluten products. Has anyone else reacted to the cereals or is the cereal probably not the cause of my reaction. Anyone eat Barbaras Bakery cereals and do ok w/ them?

YES! I thought I got a reaction from their Honey Rice Puffins but since I thought they were safe, I couldn't figure out what happened. Can you trust anything???

Wow...so I'm not crazy afterall!!

I've had this unopened box for a long time and I was scared to try it...it was like I had this "instinct" not to eat it. I knew I felt bad when I ate it before but back then I was really sick all the time... so it was hard to tell anything for sure. After eating it on Sunday I felt fine all day so by the time I got my reaction I had pretty much forgotten about the cereal until I saw that on the Delphi list. The cereals listed are the Brown Rice Crisps, Corn Flakes and Honey Rice Puffins.

Thanks for your reply...maybe now I can stop wracking my brains trying to figure out what happened. :blink:

I'm glad I saw this post. I had bought the brown rice crisps thinking everything looked fine. But, then I decided that I had had enough with mystery glutenings and I wasn't going to risk it. I gave the box to my husband (not celiac disease or gluten-free)....he's not too excited about having to eat them.

Quite the opposite actually. I have been glutened on and off for the last 4 months or so and couldn't figure it out. I had gotten to the point where I didn't want to try any new foods until I got the rxns under control. Turns out it was likely a hair product that appeared fine based on ingrediants. I'll find out in a few more days if that's what I was reacting to. So frustrating.

Anyway, I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks,

I feel ok now except for the aches and pains...a little tired too. I actually am very careful (I think). I try to be anyways...when I start to feel very good I tend to take more chances like with the cereal. I checked out the Barbaras Bakery website and there was a special diets section, a drop down list w/ gluten free foods and the first one on the list was Brown Rice Crisps. I felt that they had to be safe. <_<

Barbara's Bakery has a lot of "Wheat Free" items... but you have to make sure they are gluten-free as well. :) I haven't eaten any of their products since having celiac disease.

Thanks,

The cereal is actually suppossed to be gluten free according to the website. I didnt know they used the same equipment for their gluten products so I wasnt aware there could be contamination. :angry:

I've been on this board awhile now so this might seem a stupid question but can contamination like this really cause a reaction in me? Also is it just as bad as if I actually ate something with gluten "in" it? I seem to have recovered fairly quickly. Its only been 3 days and I'm feeling pretty good today.

I've had bad results from known contaminations. I'm reading this book now called "Dangerous Grains" and the authors mention that people with a gluten sensitivity/celiac disease build up a tolerance to gluten, which may be why so many don't get sick for years, but after going gluten-free, that tolerance is gone and we get sick on noticeably smaller amounts. This "tolerance" doesn't mean that damage isn't occuring either. Kind of interesting. Who knows though, everyone's body is different. Glad to hear you are better though.

ME TOO!!!

I have been feeling crappy since eating it, but couldn't figure out what the heck glutened me. I have been practically pulling my hair out trying to figure it out, I even restricted myself to eating at home only, assuming it was something from outside my house, but it's not! THANKS!

Well...I'm glad I posted about this. I was expecting everyone to say they are fine with the cereal and I'd be left wondering....like usual. Maybe I'm getting better about figuring out my reactions and where they're coming from. :)

I thought I had recovered quickly but I was wrong. Chemical sensitivities and food sensitivities have been BAD all week and still today. I think accidental glutenings make my gut even leakier if thats possible...this always happens and it last 1-2 weeks. :(

I had been eating their corn flakes like a madwoman! then i was STARVING again and even more depressed than usual - like i used to be. i looked on the side of the box the other day and there it was..."made on equipment that also manufactures products containing WHEAT, milk, soy, almonds and hazelnuts". isn't that false advertising? i just bought a new box, which is $4.75!!! i emailed them about it cause i'm really irritated. i'll try to copy and paste their response it i get one

Hi and welcome! :)

To the best of my knowledge, the only Barbara's cereal that is gluten-free is the Honey Rice Puffins. Several are wheat-free, but those, of course, are not gluten-free.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
