Cocoa Pebbles and Fruity Pebbles

ANd Post is even making the Fruity Pebbles with 50% less sugar so I don't feel guilty about letting my two year old eat sugary cereal for breakfast

Claire--Your trail mix sounds wonderful! I'm going to get my favorite nuts and fruits and make some this weekend. It'll be good to have all made up, waiting in the fridge :)

I do not refrigerate mine though there is no reaason not to. I have a large wide mouth antique jar that sits on the open shelf of a hutch in the kitchen. It last me about a month. There is nothing in the mix that is likely to spoil in that time. All the contents are unrefrigerated when I buy them.

As gifts, I pack jars or tins - these are so popular! As I said, I get hints early on.

There is no recipe as such. I used to start with a commercial packaged mix (from the health store) and then added 1/4 to 1/2 cup of each dried fruit (per pkg). (I stopped buying the mix when there got to be more sunflower seeds than anything else and the price remained the same) I use less of pumpkin seeds. For the chocoholics I add some chocolate chips. I also have used butterscotch chips. These can be found gluten-free if doing it for yourself. If you make it all the time as I do, you can shop around for the best price on the ingredients. I just found a place online where the price of dried cranberries is very fair. Also I have a dehydrator and I live where there are peaches and strawberries in season - apricots also some years. The online source of the cranberries also sells cherries, blueberries, strawberries. You can make yourself a feast. I never tire of it. Claire

I realize I am brining back a topic from the near dead, but I have found a very useful Gluten-free website that keeps up-to-date information on things such as new cereals that are gluten free. It is called the Ventura County Celiacs. I have not yet tried any of the cereals it says are to be gluten free, though the website seems sound.

a few posts back someone asked about a hot cereal. i didn't eat a lot of oatmeal before gluten-free but i found a recipe i loooove that i think similar to it. it is a rice pudding with just milk, rice, sugar, and then i like to add raisins and cinnamon and some slivered almonds. it's really good...but probably not nutritionally sound... hmm... lol :) you can email me or whatever if you want the recipe. kms_10@hotmail.com.

chock one up for me on the envrikids also. i like the fake frosted flakes best.

For Mainstream cereals Fruity Pebbles.

For others, I do PerkyO's frosted flavor but at almost $7 a box I rarely buy it.

I wish Fruity Pebbles would go on sale.

I've always bought cereal with coupons/sales - now my options are limited, and it seems like the few available just won't firggen go on sale at my local shop.

I used to be a raisin bran, grape nuts, granola, kashi kind of guy (wonder why I was always sick?!)

Puffed rice just doesn't float my boat.

Some one mentioned Trix being OK, but that was a hell of a long list of ingredients. I'm still learning and just didn't feel comfortable buying tonight. Anyone know? Is that company pretty good about making sure that things are pretty clear.....

Nu-world foods (google them for their online store) makes wonderful gluten-free amaranth-based cereals. I like their basic original Amaranth-Os--they ahve a great crunchy texture and are full of fiber. They are unsweetened, so they are bland by themselves, but with a teaspoon of maple syrup they are yummy. they also have a Cocoa Snaps cereal that is DELICIOUS but too decadent for everyday in my opinion. :)

I like Mesa Sunrise, too.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By SilkieFairy · Posted

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      By Jane02 · Posted

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
