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.

Alice :)

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Yes, you are right. Indeed, I’ve been feeling anemic since the beginning of this week, and today I felt horrible during a lecture at the university, I was trembling a lot and felt all my body incredibly heavy, so I had to come back home. I’ll do a blood test tomorrow, but I’m just worried about the possibility of it coming back negative. I’ve been eating two cookies in the morning as my only source of gluten over the past two weeks—could that affect the final result?

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.
