Gluten Free Brand Cereal

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.

Guest Viola

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.

Post Cocoa Pebbles

Some generic "rice puffs"

A new verion of Generl Mills Cocoa Puffins will be gluten-free, but not in all stores yet so be careful!

A ceral called Neopets that I have not personally seen yet.

Envirokids has a line of gluten-free Cerals

Barabara Backary Honey Puffins

Thats just off top of my head, hope that helps!

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 keep Vans cereals in my house for a friend who stays over sometimes. The whole company is gluten free unlike the lucky charms or cheerios companies, -_- honestly I would never let those in my house.  Open Original Shared Link

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.

      Yes, lots of delicious things have barley malt. It also doesn't include rye. And there are a number of grains commonly cross contaminated such as oats.   Additionally, wheat allergies are different from gluten allergies as wheat allergies are a reaction to a wheat protein. So something *could* contain wheat gluten without causing a wheat allergic response (though realistically,  I don't know how likely that is to occur)
    • trents
      Although it is true that FDA regulations don't require gluten to be included in allergy info, it does require wheat and ingredients made from wheat to be listed. Of course, that doesn't preclude gluten from barley being found in a product.

      I had a lot of weird/random symptoms for a few months after going gluten free. But eventually they evened out and I felt SO MUCH BETTER. The person above wrote a very detailed message that looks helpful. I'd add don't forget to check for gluten in places like medicine. Advil liquigels, for example, have gluten. It's very frustrating trying to figure out if things are gluten free as us law doesn't require it to be declared. The only labeling rule is that if the product says gluten free, it must have less than 20ppm gluten.
