Gluten Free Cereal

My husband overheard a couple of people talking about Gluten Free Weet-Bix. My daughter is a coeliac and I have looked in a couple of supermarkets but can’t seem to find it. Does anyone know where I can find Gluten Free Weet-Bix? 

 

Thanks, Hilary

I did a google search and found Weetabix cereal but it all seems to contain gluten.  Probably not very helpful but it's what I found.

Welcome to the forum, Hilary!  I checked out weetabix cereal... it looks like it is kind of a crumbly wheaty granola bar thing you stir into milk to make cereal.  Something I think may be similar to that is Udi's granola.  Can you tell us what country you are in, since product information and ingredients can vary across borders. If you are in the UK, it is possible they may have something coming out from that brand, but the best way to be for sure is to pull up the manufacturers website and use the contact info there to ask them.

Thanks for your help Beth. I guess they haven't made gluten free Weet-Bix yet. Hopefully they do soon!

Thanks for your help Laura! I'm based in Sydney Australia. The Udi granola bar sounds pretty good but I don't think they have those here. I'll definitely check with the Weet-Bix website. It looks like they don't have anything gluten-free just yet, hopefully it's something they look into soon.

Hey, Hilary! Maybe post your question on this thread, too? There are several people that seem to keep an eye on it and might know.

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
