For those of you who need a Cheerio's substitute I found some good cereal called Perky O's....it comes in frosted which I like alot and Apple Cinnamon which is pretty good...they have a plain one as well but I have not tried it.

Yes, I really like them too. I like the frosted better than the apple cinnamon. I personally think they don't taste that great in milk b/c they have a weird film on them. They are great as a snack by themselves with O.J. Yum!

As I am reading this post, my other hand is digging through a container of Frosted Perky O's sitting on my desk. I bought them for the first time on Saturday at the new store in Dillsburg. I cannot believe how good they tasted. I miss frosted cereals so these make me happy. I do not know how they taste with milk, I do dry cereal as a snack alot.

PS--I was really iffy on buying the cereal at first, it was $6 a box.... :unsure: but I can see purchasing it again.

They should make you perky, we can't find them locally, but if you get 10 on gluten free mall, you get a case discount, we buy 10 bokes every month or so... SOO yummy

I haven't tried these, but thanks for sharing that you like them. I will try and find them. SO far we did try the Glutino "cheerios" and they weren't very good at all. My son would probably love these. THanks alot.

They have them on gluten free mall, and you can mix&match flavors I think, i get all plain becasue they are the only that don't have corn in them, but I also like the flavor a lot more than the other two.

Yeah, these are definately good enough (maybe a bit too exepnsive thoug) to eat for someone that isn't evn on a gluten-free diet.

Great! Glad to hear of all the good responses to this cereal, as my son is 11 months old and the "cheerios age" is about to kick in. He is a gluten free kid. So now I know a cereal I can give him. Thanks!

I think they're linked with Enjoylife?

My two year old loves the frosted Perky O's. But my daughter only likes the Cinnamon Ceros (Heartlands Best I think???) I think I've started something terrible though now that I gave them some Cocoa Puffs for a treat yesterday. Going back to the less sugary cereal is going to be a bugger. I've had such a sweet tooth this pregnancy, and love sugary cereal at night, my kids are definately reaping the benefits of this! :P

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
