They are not taking gluten out of the oats, but are sourcing gluten-free oats. Just want to clear that up for any newbies!

Glad that there are more cereal options out there! Let's hope the price is reasonable. The cost of cereal is shocking!

Actually... they aren't using gluten-free oats.  The reason regular oats are not gluten-free is because of harvesting, growing, transporting, etc.  They become cc'd with wheat.  Cheerios says they have a way to use these cheaper non-gluten-free oats and separate out the stray wheat seeds.  "some are troubled by General Mills’ decision to use oats that are mechanically processed to eliminate cross-contamination from gluten-containing grains instead of oats that are specifically grown to be gluten free."

 

Right now, Cheerios is hosting a "conference" for some bloggers and associations to try to reassure us that the Cheerios, using regular cc'd oats, will be gluten free.  I hope that they test the cereal before selling it.  We will see what comes of that soon.

Noooo not gluten-free rice krispies!  Ah well never really bought them just like having the option.  I have read that growth in the gluten-free products market is slowing down, so I highly suspect the "bubble" in the market will pop eventually, and we will see a lot of the gluten-free products from mainstream brands pulled.  Hopefully the good gluten-free brands that we all know and love will survive all of it.

 

As for gluten-free cheerios, they will probably be fine to eat.  While I don't like that they are not sourcing gluten-free grown oats, I understand that a huge production could never get enough gluten-free oats to meet their demand.   They are using a technology that has been honed and perfected in manufacturing processes for quite a while, which i suspect may be an automated optical/mechanical sorting, or something similar.  Obviously they are going to stay tight lipped about that trade secret, but it would make me feel better if they at least released info on how often things are tested, etc.  Bottom line, though, is if they didn't have total confidence this was FDA compliant, they wouldn't do it.  So, after a while of them being out I may try them.  A lot of gluten-free cereals lack in fiber and such and it will be nice to have another option.

If you all would read the links! Lol

"ELISA testing, performed after sorting and once the groats are milled into flour, validates that each batch is indeed clean and free of gluten."

"Note that the cleaned oat flour will be transported to manufacturing facilities and used on dedicated (and enclosed) lines "

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      @HAUS, I was at an event in the UK a few years back. I remember ringing the restaurant ahead to inquire about the gluten free options. All I wanted was a few gluten free sandwiches, which they provided and they were delicious. The gluten-free bread they used was Warbutons white bread and I remember mentioning it on this site before.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

All I wanted was a few gluten free sandwiches, which they provided and they were delicious. The gluten-free bread they used was Warbutons white bread and I remember mentioning it on this site before. No harm in trying it once. It's fortified with Calcium and Iron. https://www.warburtonsglutenfree.com/warbs_products/white-loaf/ The only other gluten-free bread that I've come across that is fortified is Schar with Iodized salt, nothing else.

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
