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.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
