Two of the ingredient lists say Caramel Color - I thought that was bad, or could be...am I wrong? I didn't buy the chocolate stuff my son would LOVE that I never let him have before because of sugar (I only let the kids get healthy cereals). So, is caramel color good or bad...thanks.

supposedly, caramel color in the united states is not likely to contain gluten. so far, we have not worried too much about caramel coloring when it is listed on the label----and we are seeing improvement.

for anyone who might know-------what would be in caramel coloring that could contain gluten? if it is only wheat---than the new labeling laws should eliminate the concern---is that right?

Ok, I was eating Honey Comb until the wheat maffia got to them.

I know Corn Pops were gluten free until they folded too.

Does anyone know what real brands (by real brands I mean Kelloggs, Post, GM, Quaker) that are gluten free?

Oh and why again is Barley malt bad?

:D You might give EnviroKidz Gorilla Munch and EnviroKidz Panda Puffs a try.

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
