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.

Linda,

Nope. They weren't there. They had EnviroKids and Nature Path, but that's all.....

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

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b, I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be. I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse. My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet. It makes a big difference. Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies. So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal. My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet. I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
