My brother and I both have Celiacs. We live in a small town where there is not a health food store. I cannot afford to order foods online. I was wondering if anyone knew of a cereal that is brand name that is gluten-free? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello; when you are posting for products you really need to say what country you are in, best to put it in your signature.

I believe that Nature Path's crispy rice and Nature Path's honey corn flakes are gluten free in both Canada and the US

Hope this helps.

For any Canadians lurking, Cocoa and Fruity Pebbles are not gluten-free in Canada.

Malt-o-meal Fruit Dynobites aregf, and if you access to Always Save brand (generic with yellow lables) their Coco Crunchies are gluten-free too. Or you can do grits.

Why do you suppose they would be gluten free in the U.S. but not Canada....why on earth would they change that aspect of the cereal and ADD an allergen such as gluten???? It makes no sense!! :angry:

When you think of it, very little about what large companies and government do that makes sense.

Let's see .. maybe it goes like this ... Americans seem to be happy with this cereal so we won't add anything to it, but we think that Canadian's need just a little taste of beer in their's, so lets add some malt flavouing. :lol::lol: I am being funny and sarcastic about this of course, but that's how it seems sometimes. <_<

Aren't there any cornflakes that are gluten-free in the US or Canada that are in the regular supermarket? :)

Thanks for your replies. I live in the US. I live in a small town and there are not any health food stores. Everything is brand name food. It really sucks, and I am really tired of this diet.

Regular corn flakes use barley malt.

You can, however, order specialy gluten-free cereals online in quantity and have it shipped to you, or talk to the grocery store about ordering it for you.

Jerry and Robin you should be able to find the Nature's path corn flakes in a super market. Perhaps go onto their website and see if you can find a store listed near you. I'm afraid I can't tell you which super markets might carry it in the US, but here Save on Foods, Extra Foods and Safeway carry it.

Also, President's Choice brand has gluten free cereal. A couple of boxes say gluten free right on it.

There are a lot more options now than in 2006 when this thread was active.  Chex makes many " flavors" that are safe and gluten-free.

I need to try them all! I tried the cinnamon sugar ones and was sad they weren't flavored on both sides, or maybe it was only half of them were flavored?... Regardless of that fact, they weren't flavorful enough for my taste. I wanted more of an old fashioned cinnamon and sugar Life cereal experience! I've gotten used to eating trail mix for breakfast, or leftovers. Just can't find a cereal I like! Anyone else find a good one?

I was always partial to Corn Pops (pre gluten free). The gluten free equivalent is Gorilla Munch which I liked alot the time I tried it.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
