After the recent Cheerios recall by General Mills, I am nervous about which supposedly 'Gluten Free' cereals are actually safe to eat! I am a newly diagnosed Celiac and have been having trouble finding which brands are best at avoiding cross contamination to keep me from getting sick. 

Any suggestions???

Cheerios is its own brand of crazy!  :o Don't let it scare you away from cereals that are done right!

There are many safe gluten-free cereals - Chex ( except the wheat one), Speical K gluten-free, enviro kid, Van's, etc.

I don't eat grains; but my husband loves Erewhon cereals.  They provide a great base for adding fresh fruit, nuts, and your favorite milk (dairy/almond/soy).  The Erewhon cereals are CERTIFIED GLUTEN FREE!

I don't eat a lot of cereal,  but when I do Rice Chex is good and I've had no issues with it.

There are many certified gluten free cereals that can be found in health food stores.  But no matter where we travel in the US, we can always rely on Chex corn or rice cereals found in any grocery store.   Hubby doctors them up with dried or fresh fruits and nuts.

Well try to consume more Gluten Free Steel Cut Oats ( Those are Hot Cereals) they are really good and healthy with lots of healthy calories in it. I don't know where you are coming from but i think they are all over the globe. Find them in large markets under the name of Arrowhead Mills

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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--and you are above that level. 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! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
