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.

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

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
