I've seen a lot of Celiacs across the web complain about issues after eating Chex cereal, more specifically the Cinnamon kind. TWO BITES, and I'm running to the bathroom, mate, I swear to g** they need to take their "gluten-free" lable off it's like a sick joke. I tried this twice just to make sure and yeah, it's definitely the Chex. It straight up says "rice" in the ingredients, so whatever. It might just be from cross contamination, but truthfully it's such an intense reaction it can't just be from trace amounts from cross, that bit** is %100 gluten, I don't care, im mad. CHEX IS THE DEVI*🤮 I'm literally scared to try any other cereal, we can't even trust gluten-free lables, they say lucky charms are gluten free... A sweetened OAT cereal.. BIT** I am not putting OATS in my body that shi* is straight poison. It's infuriating because it's like these companies have no idea what it does to Celiacs. I don't trust those labels, I don't trust anybody, I'm done eating forever, goodbye cruel world.

Since Chex Cinnamon Cereal is labelled gluten-free, it's unlikely to have gluten in it. If this were the case I can assure you that they would quickly become the subject of a class action lawsuit. Is it possible that you are reacting to another ingredient, perhaps even the cinnamon?

I hear your anger. Been there. Everything you believed in has turned on you.

Give up all processed prepackaged food. Boycott the cereal aisle. Get a bottle of high dose vitamin D. See what happens. I think 10,000 iu a day is best because you want to raise your plasma vit D quickly.

Some psychiatric distress such as anger, anxiety, poor quality sleep, depression, and worry are associated with hypovitaminosis D in adolescents. The clinical significance of the current findings should be determined in future longitudinal studies.   https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4511535/#:~:text=The odds of reporting anger,adolescents (P < 0.05).

They showed that treating patients with 100,000 units of cholecalciferol every 2 weeks for 2 months may be enough to significantly elevate serum levels of 25(OH)D to above 30 ng/ml and reduce PTH...Until then, it is incumbent upon us to increase the dose and maintain levels of 25(OH)D in all our patients and in the general population where we may have some small influence. We need to rise to the challenge and make broad public appeals for wider supplementation with vitamin D and a prudent exposure to sunlight.   https://www.kidney-international.org/article/S0085-2538(15)53744-7/fulltext

      Thank you @Scott Adams!! I will definitely have a read through these! If anyone is curious to what i had eaten and am worried about it was the tescos finest frozen bourginoun and creamy mash, only allergen stated was milk but it does contain yeast extract which i am aware can be a bit of an odd one. Once again thank you 🙏🏻

      The short answer is that it would be good for you to learn more about how to read labels, but sticking to looking for "gluten-free" on packaged foods is a great place to start. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):    If you have some time for a good read, here is chapter 1 of a full book published on Celiac.com that deals with the social aspects of celiac disease:

      I have recently started a gluten free diet (waiting for confirmation via endoscope biopsies) I had started to reduce after the biopsy and then had a McDonald’s which confirmed to me my suspicions so decided to go full gluten whilst on holiday as i wanted to enjoy myself, since being back i have noticed that i have got increasingly more anxious due to feeling sick when i had accidentally eaten some on holiday. And not im reading labels worrying if everything doesnt state is gluten free but the ingredients look like they check out may still have gluten in.  Im panicking myself making myself feel worse and seem to be at a bit of a loss, i dont know anyone else with coeliac disease and am finding it all quite overwhelming. any advice is greatly appreciated:)

      We've done some articles on this over the years: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=colleges&quick=1&type=cms_records2 You might also check College Confidential or Reddit’s r/Celiac for firsthand student experiences. Some schools, like the University of Arizona and Oregon State, are known for their allergy-friendly dining halls—calling their nutrition services directly can give you specifics. If you’re touring campuses, ask about dedicated prep spaces, ingredient labeling, and student support groups. A guide focused solely on this would be so useful—maybe someone here has found one?

      Most commercial parakeet seed mixes contain gluten-based fillers like wheat or barley, but it is possible to find (or make) a gluten-free alternative. A good starting point is to look for mixes that focus on naturally gluten-free seeds like millet, flaxseed, hemp seeds, quinoa, and buckwheat—just double-check for cross-contamination. Some specialty pet stores or online retailers (like Chewy or Amazon) may carry gluten-free options if you search carefully. If you’re open to DIY, you could blend your own mix using safe seeds and supplements. Just avoid any processed pellets or mixes with unspecified ‘grain products.’ Have you asked your vet or an avian specialist for recommendations? They might know of niche brands. Wishing you and your parakeets the best—hope you find a great solution.
