Help!

I can't find the President's Choice Too Good To Be True Ancient Grains Corn Flakes anymore :o ! My Superstore hasn't had them the last 5 times I've been there (luckily, I buy 6 boxes at a time and still have one left). The other nearest Superstore doesn't even have a space on their shelf for them. Does anyone know if they are discontinuing this product? I can't get a straight answer from anyone and I'm still trying to move higher up the mucky-muck chain until I can find someone who knows something.

Do you guys still have them at your Superstores? Or Extra Foods or Loblaws?

There were some in Extra Foods the last time I was in (about 3 weeks ago). Have you tried the Nature's Path honey corn flakes, Save On Foods should have those.

In the short time that I have been gluten-free, my Superstore has never had that item. I have to buy the Nature's Path ones. Superstore does have some gluten-free corn puffs though.

Oh, of course, they had they own Organics Corn Pops that are gluten free.....

Thanks for checking, everyone. Ty doesn't like the gluten-free corn pops. He did eat the whole box of Superstore PC corn pops, but we still have a half box of the Envirokids corn pops. I found some kind of organic corn flakes in a giant green and clear bag at Safeway. Nature Valley or Nature's Path or something Nature-y. The Superstore TGTBT corn flakes were tasty AND reasonably priced, so that's why I'm on a quest. I did manage to find an email address, so I emailed them, we'll see what they say.

Envirokids also has Koala Crips which are chocolate rice crispy type cereal, also gluten free. The Natures Path (Enviro kids) Cheetah and Koala rice bars are also gluten free, and very good.

I actually don't eat cereal for breakfast so I wouldn't know. When I do eat cereal, I eat the Enviro Kidz gluten free stuff and I like that. Is there anything else that he likes if you can't find it?

How about,

Gluten free Waffles (I find these in the health food section) with syrup

Toasted Kinnikinnick bread with peanut butter or jam

Scrambled eggs and bacon

Fruit Smoothies

Omelets

Fruit salad

Fruit on tray like, watermelon, bananas, apples, honey dew melon, oranges, ect.

Thanks all.

He is (how can I put this politely?) very SELECTIVE. I did buy some other kind of gluten-free corn flakes, but I liked the TGTBT because they were reasonably priced. He's always been a cereal eater. He absolutely did not like the Envirokids corn pops, but likes the "rice krispie bars" -chocolate only. He has never liked pancakes or waffles, and now I guess we know why. He often has a hard-boiled egg for lunch, so I don't really want to give him eggs for breakfast, too. I may try some gluten-free pancakes to see how he likes them.

Anyone had any luck with freezing pancakes and heating them in the oven, or toasting them later?

I'll cut him some slack, he's only six, and he's being a real champ about going gluten-free.

I've made the Celimix pancakes to which I have added blueberries or other frozen fruit. I think they taste gret the next day whether toasted or not. I'm sure they would freeze well. Celimix is mostly rice four so I'm sure made from scratch pancakes would be cheaper yet similar in taste.

I like the Nature's Path cornflakes myself. I buy them in the box because on the bag it says they are processed in a plant that contains wheat, but the boxed one doesn't say that. I have no idea what that is all about, but I'm the only one who eats them anyhow so the bag would probably get kinda stale before I ate it all anyhow.

I make Kinnickinnik pancakes, freeze the extras, and then nuke them for a quick breakfast. They taste pretty good. I find you have to make sure there is a layer of plastic wrap between each one or they will get stuck together in the freezer.

The plastic wrap between the pancakes is a good hint Lori. I haven't froze any pancakes, but make up a few extra and they last for a couple days in the fridge. I just heat them in the micro and they are pretty good :P

      Any bad experience with King Arthur Gluten-free bread flour

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You are right! The logo the have on their packages got me confused--it looks like they are less than 20ppm, not certified GF. Thanks for catching that! My brain also zeroed in on this "less than 10ppm" but I should have seen the rest...

      Still unsure.....

      Zinc glyconate lozenges (Cold Eeze) helps fight off viral respiratory infections by coating the mucous membrane cells to protect them from virus.  Zinc is an antiviral essential mineral. Choline deficieicy can be the cause of Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.  It is estimated by some experts that less than 10% eat the minimum RDA of around 450 mg.  It has also been connected to gallbladder disease.  Brain fog and high homosystein blood level is an independant indicator of cardiovascular disease. Eggs and red meat are the primary sources.  Three eggs or 10 cups of cooked brocolli a day.  Low vitamin D is a common denominator of autoimmune disease.  Is it a contributing factor or a result? I think that low vitamin D is maybe the main contributing factor.  Low vitamin D allows the immune system to run amuck. I would like to point out the many diagnosed with Celiac Disease went through several misdiagnoses, like gall bladder disease, and were repeatedly tested negative and then one day tested positive. Regardless of your diagnosis, you should avoid gluten, you mention it in your first post : "When I eat gluten I get a lot of mucus with my stool and most of the times it’s quite thin. As soon as I take gluten away from my diet my stool becomes normal". It can take six months to several years to heal completely.  How long I believe is directly related to how quickly you identify deficiencies and correct. Essential to my recovery:  Thiamine, 10,000 IU vitamin D3 a day, maintaining 25(OH)D at 80 ng/dl (200 nmole/L), 600 mcg Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline.  And of course: Gluten Free.

      Not all of King Arthur’s gluten free flours and baking mixes are certified gluten free. This bread flour is not.

      Bump up your thiamine dose!  You can take more if you don't feel anything after the first one.  Must needs getting to that 500mg. We need more thiamine when we're fighting an infection.  Zinc will help fight infections, too, as well as Vitamin C. They all work together. Hope you feel better!

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @MagsM, I had Meniere's.  Meniere's is caused by deficiencies in Thiamine, Niacin, and Vitamin D.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption which affects all the essential vitamins and minerals. The B vitamins work in concert together like an orchestra.  Having a Folate deficiency suggests other B vitamin deficiencies as well.  Folate needs Pyridoxine B6 and Thiamine B1 to work properly with Cobalamine B12.  Doctors are not required to take many courses in nutrition, and often don't recognize deficiency symptoms or how to correct them.  Blood tests are not an accurate measurement of vitamin deficiencies inside cells.  Low iron correction requires copper and zinc as well as Thiamine and Riboflavin.    Yes, anemia can affect the production of antibodies and cause false negatives on tests for Celiac.  Diabetes and Thiamine deficiency can also cause false negatives.  An endoscopy with biopsy would be a more accurate method of diagnosis for you.   I studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I wanted to know what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  Vitamins are chemical compounds that the body cannot make, so we must get them from food and supplements.  After a few vertigo episodes and suddenly going deaf for a while, I researched and found that supplementing with  Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide), Niacin and Vitamin D resolved the issue.   Please ask your nutritionist for further vitamin deficiency tests.  A B Complex, TTFD, Vitamin D should help you recover quickly.   Keep us posted on your progress!
