Does anyone have a good suggestion for a cereal?? I love cold cereal, but would like alernate cold cereals.

Also, what about oats, is this a no no?

Sincerely,

Ellyn

Oats are a no-no, yes yes. :) This is because they are produced/stored near gluten grains and get contaminated. I even tried Irish oats that were supposedly made in a factory with just oats, but I still had a reaction.

I REALLY like Envirokidz cereal. They have gluten-free cocoa pops (rice), corn pops and frosted flakes.

Oats is still an unknown quantity. I think the current official verdict is that those with celiac disease who are super super sensitive cannot tolerate oats, because the protein found in them is so very nearly identical to the gladian protein that sets off the reactions in those who do have celiac disease. But the other problem is that oats in the US are highly contaminated by wheat, that all US based oat products have to be avoided. Better safe than sorry.

Coco Pebbles and Fruity Pebbles are gluten-free. I found locally (mid-Missouri) fruity Dyno-bytes by Malt-o-Meal and Coca Crunchies by Always Save.

I second the Envirokidz for something a little sweet. My main preference though is Health Valley's Rice Crumch-Ums. Just like Chex, and great with some banana sliced on top!

I second the Enviro kids cereals, I even take a ziplock back to work with them and eat them out of the bag.

If you can tolerate corn, Gorilla Munch by Envirokids is good. It tastes sort of like Capn Crunch. :ph34r:

When I was at the celiac conference at stanford, they had samples of Perky-Os which are made by perkys, and they are sooooo good, but they haven't been put on the maked yet, look at whole foods for them when they come out, according to my sisters, they tase like cheerios

Oats are... not in. If you could find uncontaminated oats (which is next to impossible - one manufacturer may be doing it in the near future, and even McCann's says they have contamination potential in the milling and transporting), then even still 10-20% of celiacs (not necessarily the most sensitve, just a subset) would still get intestinal damage from avenin (the oat protein). If you can find them uncontaminated, you have to figure out for yourself if you get damage from them or not.

We have used leftover homemade gluten-free cookies crumbled up with pecan halves and almonds as cereal before. I just give 'em a vitamin along with it to pretend it is a wholesome breakfast cereal. LOL. Peanut butter cookies were really good this way.

In addition to the Rice Crunch-ums, Health Valley also makes Corn Crunch-ums. If you mix them together it tastes like whatever that cereal is called (It's been so long since I've had it , I can't remember - you know the one in the blue box).

I also like the Health Valley Rice and Corn Crumch-Ums! Get them at Wild Oats and even in health food section of some grocery stores.

My favorite gluten-free cereal is Nature's Path "Mesa Sunrise". It's a corn/amaranth blend. I get mine at my local Wild Oats.

I have learned to like grits as a hot cereal, with milk and sugar or honey or brown sugar - I suppose polenta would work, too. Takes about 10 minutes to cook so I save it for weekends. Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty hot cereal is good, too - much more interesting than the cream of rice type cereals. But I do miss McCann's Irish Oatmeal.

I agree, the EnviroKids cereal is great! We also enjoy Cinnamon Crunch by Enjoy Life. Pricey but very tasty! 5g fiber, 800mg of omega-3's

ENJOY!

The Perky-O's are out on the market...nag your health food stores to carry them! Nu World Amaranth also makes o's that are pretty good, and their cinnamon snaps are awesome!

I like Arrowhead Mills "Rice and Shine" cereal. I don't have immediate symptoms of being "glutened" though and I haven't had it since I started avoiding all those nasty hidden glutens that I was unaware of until a few weeks ago. So I don't know if it's truly safe. Does anyone know? The box says it's made with "non-gluten ingredients" and to contact the company. I haven't had a chance to call or email them. If this is safe I think it's really yummy! It's a lot better than Cream of Rice.

I called the company about this a couple months ago. The rep. told me Rice and Shine was gluten free. I thought it was ok, but I like Cream of Rice better.

My favorites:

Arrowhead Mills - Organic Maple Buckwheat Flakes

Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice - with berries

I have a 'My Trail Mix' that I often add to these cereals, It is all nuts, seeds, dried cranberries, blueberries, apricots, dates and whatever else good I happen to have. Family members give me hints so they will get a jar full for Christmas. This is sweet, chewy, filling and portable. You can carry it with you anywhere. It satisfies the sweet tooth and provides the texture that is missing from many gluten free foods. Add to that - it is packed with nutrition. Added to cereal it is just a bonus. It is wonderful with the Buckwheat flakes. Claire

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 :)

Thanks JerseyAngel! I guess we all have different tastes in food. When I was in college my roomate and I always had toast for breakfast. I got the grainy whole wheat with crunchy peanut butter and she had white bread with creamy PB. I think that Rice and Shine vs. Cream of Rice is about the same. ;)

I eat Arrowhead Mills Puffed Millet Cereal. Throw in raisins or some other fruit and it is fairly tasty. It is also inexpensive compared to other cold cereals.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
