The Trix has "Wheat Starch" - Doesn't that have Gluten? :unsure:

The Coco Puffs indeed look to be Gluten Free - :)

EXCEPT for the Cross Contamination issue - but I, personally, am not that concerned about that. I GOTTA EAT SOMETHING!!!! (I eat Capt Crunch which has no inherent gluten, but Quaker says could have cross contamination issues).

Be nice! I have to read labels 2 3, sometimes 4 times at the stores!!

Try Silk Soymilk if you can have soy, its a great dairy substitute. Even before going df I found it to be better tasting!

I think you're really going to like the Vance's. I can't tolerate any of the alternative milks--except that one.

To my knowledge, we can't change the topic title. Why don't you email Scott and see if he will do it. Or, if you want, I can email him.

I thought Cap'n Crunch had oat flour. It does in Canada. Everytime I go to the grocery I check corn and rice based cereals and they always have malt or oat flour in them.

I just came from the Super Market - Fredericksburg, Virginia, USA, Giant Foods.

The TRIX (a different looking box than the "reduced sugar" one that was photographed here).

It does not have Wheat Starch or Malt Flavoring. But it DOES have whole grain oats - which do not seem to bother me. I also checked others by General Mills (Coco Puffs, Lucky Charms, etc) - it was hit and miss with ingredients. But Oats - either whole grain or as "flour" was pretty consistent.

I've been told that oats are ok and that the cross contamination varies greatly......and some are that sensitive that it bothers them and some are not. I'm still trial and erroring.

It appears to me that just about every food that I like COULD have cross contamination or wheat or gluten.

I have to eat something other than a hamburger patty (100% pure beef) with a slice of cheese on it!

I've been noticing that Fruit on the Botton Yogurt by both Dannon and Giant are gluten free and eat those and any other yogurts I can find with no stated hidden potential problem substances.

Most of the Dorito's, Tostitos, Lays/Utz potato chips are good to go (see the list posted previously). But I'm supposed to limit iodine (so too much salt).

I found TACO shells and Tortillas tonight both with and without wheat. Same brand, differing ingredients.

I also found cocktail sauce for shrimp both with and without "suspicious" stuff.

Are "emulsifiers" ok?

Trying very hard, but having hard time. Losing weight tho. :unsure:

The cocoapuffs have as an ingredient 'natural and artificial flavouring'. Isn't that a potential gluten source?

Yes, but in this case it General Mills and they will list any gluten soruces so its okay.

don't feel bad, I bought the same box a couple weeks back and ate it once or twice and felt a little odd afterwards, thinking it was my mind. Well I reread the labels and saw Wheat Starch towards the bottom....hmm I feel like an idiot because I completly missed it the first time I read the label....oh well. I will keep munching on my neoPets cereal and those frosted Perky O's.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
