Cheerio's is primary Oats, and therefor can not be safe, unless you just like the shape? I have seen gluten free ceral in that O shape on the shelf in my store, but do not recall the name....

My girls really like these, they say they are a little sweet too. They look enough like Cherrrios to fool small children, but once they are about 2 you have to say "but they won't make you sick, and they are round, and they taste yummy" and all of that is true. ;)

There is also PerkyO's and one other brand that have the cheerios look. I have not tried them so I do not know what they taste like.

I bought a box yesterday of something called ceros. Not sure what they taste like but they were cinnamon flavored and cheap!

I'm also looking for some good tasting Cheerios. I tried the Amaranth O's for my 4-year old Celiac Olivia. They got a huge thumbs down from Olivia. I tasted them and I thoought they tasted like mold. Any suggestions???

Thanks ladies..

If I try a good brand, I'll be sure to post

I've been buying some prepared foods lately for my 2yr old and he is sticking his nose up to everything..I'm getting a little anxious because his eating has gone down hill...I hope he warms up to this new diet soon!

At first I was giving him oatmeal..I thought I read a recent study deemed oats safe....crud :(

Glutino makes a Honey Nut O shaped cereal that is pretty good. My daughter likes the plain PerkyO's which are made from whole grain Sorghum and perhaps a little more like Cheerios. They also make an apple cinnamon and a frosted variety, but I've not had an opportunity to taste them.

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
