I LIKE the Amaranth cereal!!! Love the EnivorKids, etc too, but sooo many gluten-free cereals lack any nutrional value. I wish they would make fortified cereal!! Anyone run into any decent gluten-free fortified cereal? I've tried the EnjoyLife brand - it's not too bad....

I'm not sure if I've come across the Honey Rice ones, but I have yet to find a Puffin Cereal that doesn't have oats. They all say wheat free, but have oats in them.

Should I give the Enjoy Life Granola another chance? I tried the berry flavor, and to me it tasted like cardboard-or metal, or even worse! I couldn't even stomach one bite..

I would love to find a granola that I can eat- any other recommendations? Is the cinnamon flavor much better?

I do love the Panda Puffs- though I find that they make me hypoglycemic. My favorite thing lately is Bob's Gluten Free Hot cereal with vanilla soymilk, walnuts and coconut! Then the next day I form the leftovers into patties and fry them in a non-stick skillet and drizzle with yogurt- they are fantastic!

Or i just eat brown rice and an egg for breakfast- boring!

thanks for everyone's suggestions- I'm going to look for some of those cereals.

I like them. :) Gotta be carefull with that brandname though, unless its labeld gluten-free its not. They have a selection of "wheat free" stuff that is not gluten-free.

I am eating Gorilla Munch right now :lol::lol::lol:

I love all the envirokids cereals, and the granola cereals and Puffins.

I am still waiting for the fuity pebbles to be okay by me. Everytime I call them they are not, I guess it is just the batch that I have around here. <_<

I LOVE CEREAL !!!!!

My dd actually loves the amaranth snaps in cocoa and cinnnamon. She didn't like the plain ones, unfortunately - those are the ones with hardly any sugar.

What do you mean your fruity pebbles aren't safe? I was under the impression that both Post Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles were safe.

Every time I call, they say that they not gluten-free. So i dont touch them, but I have recieved several emails stating that these lines are going to be gluten-free soon.

But I was always under the impression that they were not gluten-free.

Update on Post Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles

A Clan Thompson Mini-List was posted on some celiac forums this week. This Mini-List was a sample column we sent local celiac groups around the country to see if they'd like to carry the column in their local newsletters. The information in the Clan Thompson Mini-List was taken from the most recent unpublished research we had. That being said...

One of our researchers called Post on February 6 and was told that Post Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles were no longer gluten free which is why they appeared on the Mini-List that way. I called the manufacturer today and they acknowledged that we were given incorrect information during our earlier call. Kraft's policy is that consumers should read the label for the most up to date information about ingredients. However, the woman I talked to reviewed the ingredients of both cereals with me and stated that both cereals ARE GLUTEN FREE. The natural flavors in the Fruity Pebbles are derived from different citrus flavors. The manufacturers of the natural flavors used in Cocoa Pebbles won't reveal what they are, but they did tell Kraft they are not derived from gluten sources.

We hope this new information is helpful. (We like to eat Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles in our celiac household, too!)...Lani K. Thompson

Glutino has a cereal that is like Cheerios... it's better dry than with milk, and some of you might really like it... we didn't care for it here though.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Puffins! I love Puffins!

The honey rice ones are my favorite (although they will never replace Cheerios or Shredded Wheat...)

The honey rice ones have less fiber than the regular ones, so I usually mix them half and half. I add raisins too!!

I just bought the Enjoy Life "granola" today too and I thought it was TERRIBLE. Nothing at all like the homemade granola I used to make...

Can you tell that I love cereal?

I'm a huge fan of the puffins myself. I'm a peanut butter maniac!!!! Anything that tastes like peanut butter...bring it on! :D

I just bought a box yesterday. I am a little disappointed by what you said.

I was hoping that they would be good.

Well I will give them a shot.

The peanut butter puffins are not gluten-free. The only ones that are, are the honey ones. I just found this out yesterday when I went to this health food store that spealizes in gluten-free food and the only puffins cereal that is gluten-free was the honey.

Has anyone seen/tried PeryO's? I saw an ad for the cereal in my Living Without magazine. I have looked in the stores here and can't find them. If I could find a close knock off of Cheerios I would be happy :P

Hez

Perky' O s are available from gluten-free mall.com

They are my husbands favorite of all the cereals we have tried.

The cinnamin amaranth snaps got good reviews on the gluten free mall site so i got them for my husband and he actually had to throw them away because he said they were inedible.

We live in Fenwick Island DE (anyone familliar with the area?) and I order most of our gluten free products online.

I was not at all crazy about the Enjoy Life Granola. I got the cinnamon kind and it tasted like cardboard. But hey more power to those of you who enjoy it!

I do love the Arrowhead Mills Maple Buckwheat Flakes (MMM), all of the Envirokids cereals, I just got Perky O's in apple cinnamon flavor and they aren't too bad, I actually like them better without milk. I still love the cocoa pebbles and I think someone said we can have GM Neopets cereal- I'm going to have to try that!!

Yummy!

Before I went gluten-free my favorite cereal was honey bunches of oats, so recently I started putting sliced almonds and spiced pecans in nature's path corn flakes. With a little sugar it tastes AMAZING and as far as I can remember I like it as much as honey bunches of oats!

I ordered some of the Perky Os the plain version and they taste alot like cherrios with some sugar and fruit they were great, they dont get real soggy in milk either I am just hopping wild oats will start carrying them, it seems like they will carry something you like a lot then the next time you go to get it its gone, its a tease!

-I am new at this and my daughter is a cereal person. She ws dx 4 weeks ago and I read that cocoa pepples were gluten free. Is this true or is there a chance of cross contamination? Sometimes they bother her and sometimes they don't. I was thinking that maybe it is the small amount of milk that bothers her. Any suggestions?

I love puffins, enjoy life granola gives me the same symptoms as if I ate gluten. It is the flaxseed..it tears my intestines up. I can eat flaxseed oil though, just not the seeds.

      gluten-free in Wilmington, DE

      Thanks for sharing this, I've never heard of Ted's Montana Bar and Grill.

      gluten-free in Wilmington, DE

      By NoGlutenCooties · Posted

      For anyone looking for a great place to eat near Wilmington, DE, I did not find anyplace in Wilmington that looked like they could do safe gluten free. I was also there on a Sunday and most places are closed on the weekends. However, I found a really great place in Newark, DE - just 20min away.  It's Ted's Montana Bar and Grill and it was absolutely amazing! They have a great gluten free menu and they really understand about keeping things from being cross contaminated. They had the best Bison burgers and hand-cut fries.  Yes, in a separate frier, of course. My friend got the gluten free bun and she said it was really good. Ted's Montana Bar and Grill is also a chain, with several locations across the country.  If you happen to be near one, I highly recommend them.

      Ocd making gluten fears unmanageable. Need advice

      By Mari · Posted

      I havesome of the replies to your post(which by the way is a gread piece of writing) and think that it will take lots of time and reading to decide what you are going to do. I would like to give you some practical suggestions. Your anxieties and OCD are a perfectly natural response when your body is sending signals that you have physical problems. The body does not use words it uses biochemistry and electric interactions. Celiac disease is not a killer disease so you are not going to die in the near future if you get glutened.  It can be a disabling problem unless you stay gluten free. For OCD attacks I have used spearmint or peppermint teas to relax. I also sitorlay down , relax as much as possible and review what I have been eating for the last few days and can usually identify that I have been eating too much of something and not enough of other foods that would balance my body. My body may have become too acid when it needs to be slightly alkaline. For me this means eating more vegetables and less starches and proteins. There are some websites that will list acid forming foods and alkaline forming food and many foods that are in between. Just admit that you are anxious about gluten being present in foods and anything that is used to prepare foods or even in your environment. When you eat anything that makes you anxious take a capsule of an anti-gliadin enzyme. I use a brand called GliadinX. It works in the stomach and will break down small amounts of gluten. Look up online the amount of plain water your body height and weight needs every day. Two years ago I was 5' 4" and weighed 100 lbs and needed 48 oz. every day.  Even if you can't drink the full amount if you just drink more water you will notice some improvement in your digestive system.  That's enough for tonight and it's way past my bedtime. Don't hesitate to ask more question or ask for more information.

      Canker sores

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Canker sores can definitely be frustrating, especially when you're already managing a strict gluten-free lifestyle and have been diagnosed with celiac disease for so long. While these painful mouth ulcers aren’t exclusive to celiac disease, they can be linked to nutritional deficiencies—particularly of iron, folate, or vitamin B12 (as @trents mentioned )—which are common in people with celiac, even those who are very careful with their diet. Ongoing fatigue and aches might also suggest that your body isn’t fully absorbing nutrients or that there’s some underlying inflammation. It could be helpful to get bloodwork done to check for these deficiencies, and possibly even a full nutritional panel. Sometimes, new sensitivities or hidden sources of gluten or additives like sodium lauryl sulfate (common in toothpaste) can trigger symptoms like canker sores too. Since your reactions are so severe and you're highly vigilant, it might also be worth considering whether any other autoimmune conditions could be involved, as they can develop over time and overlap with celiac. Consulting with your doctor or a celiac-informed dietitian may help pinpoint the cause and bring relief.

      @Dora77, You shouldn't worry about getting glutened through your skin.  You would have to touch a gluten infested doorknob and then put your hand in your mouth.   I'd be more concerned with your mom's heating up gluten bread in the oven and boiling gluten noodles.  These methods cause particles of gluten to become airborne which would then enter your nose and be swallowed, going into your digestive tract.  I have to avoid the bakery aisle at the grocery store for this reason.  An M95 mask helps. If you get nutritional deficiencies corrected, your immune system will calm down and be less reactive to gluten expose.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system.  Thiamine and Niacin help make digestive enzymes which would help digest any accidental gluten exposure.  Thiamine helps Mast cells not to release histamine, an inflammatory agent released as part of the reaction to gluten, and also a neurotransmitter that causes alertness and anxiety, and the flight or fight response.  Pyridoxine will help improve the OCD.  Remember your brain is part of the body.  Vitamin deficiencies affect your brain and mental health as well as the rest of your body.
