Hi @Buckeyegal1, Welcome to the forum.

According to Lucky Charms the product has less than 20 ppm gluten. Some people are more sensitive though and there is the possibility that you are reacting to something else in the cereal or that you ate around the same time. They have several products so If you don't mind my asking, why the question?

It also depends on the exact product. Lucky Charms S’mores for example says it contains wheat. the info below is for Lucky Charms Magic Gems which is gluten free.

First, we check the oats after sifting to make sure they contain less than 20 parts per million of gluten.

Then, we check it again after the oats are milled into flour. We always ship the flour to our plants in our fleet of dedicated gluten-free trucks and rail cars. Lucky Charms Gluten Free Original

      10 years later, my celiac is progressing

      Hashimoto's is a type four hypersensitivity.   Read what this doctor did about hers... https://thyroidpharmacist.com/articles/food-sensitivities-and-hashimotos/ She adopted a Paleo diet. Once you get your inflammation down, and your nutrients up, your body's immune system can calm down and quit reacting to every little thing.

      Most doctors would dismiss the experiences I have described here, including my food diary, as somatic reactions, and begin to think of me as a hypochondriac--so I am very careful about what I share with doctors.  Most of the research done so far in the medical field has focused on Type I hypersensitivity: classic IgE-mediated allergic responses. I wasn't even aware of Type IV (or had forgotten about it) until knittykitty reminded me about it with her post. But even when talking about an allergist, does an allergist understand that Celiac is a Type IV hypersensitivity reaction? And if so, would an allergist believe or understand that other foods can cause a Type IV hypersensitivity reaction? And if so, are there objective tests that prove these non-gluten reactions, such as a hypothetical Type IV hypersensitivity reaction to apples, plums, sausage, cassava flour, etc? I do not believe these tests exist right now.  And lets say that these tests did exist, and I could take them, and obtain objective proof (besides my food diary) of my reactions to these foods. Now what? Is there a treatment besides avoiding those foods? I am not aware of it. I would simply be told: avoid all of those foods forever.  And that is not reasonable either. Avoid all of those foods forever? Really? There are times that I feel malnourished. I then will eat a food from the bad list, and suddenly feel much better nourished, but then I have a reaction that begins the next day or the day after that, and lasting many days afterwards. The reaction is always the same: brain fog, fatigue, dizziness, headache, significant enough to impair any productivity. I have been on this elimination diet for about 3 months now, but each time I attempt to re-introduce a food item that I initially reacted to, I have the same reaction. Therefore, I do not believe it will ever be safe in the future to re-introduce a food back into my diet safely. This is a big problem with no solution.

      Eye irritation 2.5 months into gluten free diet

      By aperlo34 · Posted

      Title says it all. I’m at 4 months since Dx/starting gluten-free diet but the last month and a half I’ve had pretty irritated eyes. Originally they started really dry and sensitive to light, especially in the morning. Saw the eye doc and he said eye strain/dry eyes due to season change/radiators turning on in my apartment. I’ve been using a heat mask and eye drops and that helped a lot. However my eyes still feel tired and red and gunky, but not really dry anymore. Just a bit irritated.    any thoughts?   THANKS!

      Refractory Celiac - doctor?

      By Mmar · Posted

      Hello! I have been on a strict gluten-free diet for 20 years after my initial diagnosis, but in July had an endoscopy that showed villous atrophy (but multiple ttgs have all been normal). I have gone through everything in my house to eliminate any gluten and have been eating almost no processed foods, and will be getting a second endoscopy in a month because my GI doctor thinks it could be refractory celiac. She told me that if it’s refractory, I would need to see a “specialist” because she doesn’t know enough.  I live in Philadelphia and the Celiac Center at Jefferson has 0 appointments with any doctors, I keep trying. Does anyone know of either a doctor in Philadelphia that treats refractory celiac or a doctor elsewhere that does virtual appointments to treat refractory? Thank you!
