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

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
