This was one of the more recent thread on gluten-free cheerios.

Many discussions occurred on that product in 2017. From my observation and reading it is an individual choice based on reaction/no reaction when eating. Also if the individual is comfortable with the mechanical separation process.I

Personally when I first went gluten-free prior to diagnosis I ate gluten-free cheerios. After my gluten challenge and the years after I followed many of the veteran community members advice to be whole foods and avoid processed gluten-free foods as I grew intolerant to additives and additional ingredients.

I do not currently eat gluten-free cheerios as I still make my own baked goods etc. I feel better avoiding most gluten-free processed foods and foods with multiple additives and flavors.

Can I ask what you eat daily?  

For example...   what do you have for breakfast?   Lunch and dinner ?

And for snacks?

 

Whole Foods has a dedicated Gluten Free Bakehouse that makes breads and sweet treats, and their products are available at all of our US and Canadian stores.

I don't eat ice cream. I can't do cow milk. Store bought  ice cream has too many additives etc for me. We do buy gluten-free ice cream for my kids they like the brand cado and daiya ice cream bars.

My snacks are usually nuts,  quick veggie , or fruit. 

Chips in our home Kirkland gluten-free chips and Siete Food. I do not buy the corn containing choices as I avoid corn and corn dervatives.

Breyer’s Ice cream is labeled gluten free.  It is good.  Simple ingredients (plain vanilla).   I also buy certified gluten-free corn and potato chips.  But I do not have issues with soy, corn or milk which are common in processed foods.

B — plain yogurt with heavy cream, banana, cinnamon and egg “pancake”.  I eat yogurt and eggs every single day: fried, soft-boiled, hard-boiled, scrambled with cheese, meat, veggies.  
 

L — turkey roll-ups.  Made an egg salad with cheese sandwich for hubby.  Served with cut up veggies, fruit.

D — Grilled rosemary chicken, rice, green beans with yellow squash, yellow tomato, avocado and cucumber salad.  Breyers for dessert!  

I love chips and dessert like anyone else.  I definitely have been consuming more because my university student is home.  Not good because I do not want to gain weight and I am insulin resistant.

I would not trust ANY packaged/processed food, esp. Cheerios which, is packed full of garbage like most commercially-made cereals (additives, artificial flavors/colors, high fructose corn syrup)--much of it hidden by use of exotic, confusing content names, designed to fool even the most educated, careful label-reading shoppers). 

Gluten issue aside, commercial cereal makers have been making false claims ("heart-healthy" labels) and overcharging consumers for DECADES ($5-$7 for a box of what?? Artificially-colored and flavored junk, essentially compressed "saw-dust" with ZERO nutrients, made edible by massive infusions of sugar/high fructose corn syrup.  YUM....  

If you eat packaged cereals you also expose yourself to CC risks because most companies use the SAME equipment to harvest/process/package products containing wheat/rye/barley or fail to thoroughly separate, clean them.  

If you want HEALTHY grains, then eat oats, rice, quinoa.  "CERTIFIED gluten-free" of course...although I also have qualms about those--esp. since my tTG numbers have not yet returned to normal after 6 months on gluten-free diet.

Then what the hell are you supposed to eat...    

Maybe I'll just move to Alaska and live off the land...........   probably the only way you can get 100% gluten free

Cereal is okay for a celiac.  
 

There has been controversy over oats.  To place it safe, consider following the old celiac guidelines.  The old rule recommended no oats for six months.  Then test for a reaction as some celiacs actually react to oats.  This advice is still being dished out in Australia.  Oats are banned there for celiacs.

What cereal to eat now?  How about Chex Cereal?  Rice and corn versions are gluten free and are cheap.  We eat these cereals when we are camping.  Hubby like seeds and nut granola type cereal to mix in with the Chex (he is a casserole guy 🤣) or add to his yogurt.  We also add berries or bananas.  All this can be found at your local box stores like Walmart or Target or grocery stores.

Because you are older like me, antibodies can take a very long time to normalize — 1 to 3 years.  Look for a downward trend on those lab results.  If your symptoms are not improving, you might have another illness and it might not be due to active celiac disease.   TTG can be elevated  for other autoimmune reasons.   A repeat endoscopy might be a good idea for you.  Then you would know if gluten is really the culprit.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.

      Thank you, really.  I took a test for DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG. Effectively, it is not enough to discard Celiac Disease. I was consuming gluten until then, I only started gluten-free some days ago, when the symptoms became horrible and now I feel considerably better, which is a second confirmation that gluten is the main problem. It's been more than 4 years I have the same suspect, when I first thought gluten was causing me problems, I made a gluten-free diet for a year, I felt really good as never before. However, neither I or my parents were well informed about Celiac disease, so none of us tried to make further exams. My father suffer digestive problems and other members of my family as well. Unfortunately, no one have ever been tested for Celiac disease. I'll have to restart eating gluten in the next weeks, so I can make a serious blood test in laboratory, hopefully between two or three months.

      As Scott said, in order for celiac disease testing to be valid, you need to be eating generous amounts of gluten on a regular basis for weeks or months before the blood draw. The blood tests are designed to detect antibodies that the immune system produces in response to the ingestion of gluten. It takes time for them to build up in the blood to detectable levels.

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely crucial that you pursue further medical exams for Celiac Disease and related conditions with a gastroenterologist. Your symptoms—especially the worsening fatigue, loss of muscle mass, neurological symptoms like migraines, and palpitations, coupled with being underweight—are significant red flags that extend beyond typical IBS. The negative home test is not reliable, particularly given your concern about sample contamination and the fact that you were likely not consuming sufficient gluten at the time for the test to be accurate, which is a common issue. While probiotics like Bifidobacterium Infantis can support gut health, they cannot resolve an autoimmune response to gluten or heal intestinal damage caused by Celiac Disease. Your declining blood test results, even if still "in range," further indicate a trend that needs a doctor's investigation. Please do not hesitate to seek a specialist; a formal diagnosis is the first step toward getting the correct treatment, allowing your body to heal, and finally addressing your weight and overall health concerns. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Buckwheat

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I would only add that cross contamination with wheat may still be a possibility, so it's still best to seek out buckwheat that is labeled "gluten-free."
