General Mills Cocoa Puffs - the newest forumal is gluten-free, older ones are not.

Post Furity Pebbles (NOT the one iwth marshmellows)

Post Cocoa Pebbles

General Mills Neopeots (not seen this one my self, but many here report it)

Kroger Brand Friuty Pebbles

Those are the only mainstream cearls I know of other then some of the plain rice puffs. There are tons of "gluten-free" cerals in the specitiy asiles, but most of them will cost more then the mianstream stuff.

The gluten free Nature's Path line is generally less expensive than others. Good luck!

I love Envirokidz Peanut Butter Panda Puffs. The last 2 times I've been to Whole Foods, they've had it on sale for $2.99.

Thanks you for advise. I will look for them. I have had a hard time finding Nature's Path cereal.

Thanks for your time - Nancy :rolleyes:

I will just reiterate the EnviroKids.

Krogers carries them in their health section, and Trader Joes also has them. I love the Koala Crunch and Gorilla munch.

I can't go a day without one of their rice crispy snacks either - Cheetah Snacks yummmm

There's a Neopets Islandberry Crunch that is gluten-free too. I'm a Cocoa pebbles girl, myself, but my hubbie likes these.

Another hand goes up for Nature's Path Envirokidz. My personal favorite are the Panda Puffs; the Koala Crisps are also good, but a very chocolate way to start the morning.

These are both very sweet cereals. I usually eat Enjoy Life, but then you're into the $5 for the little box that you were wanting to enjoy.

Nature's Path's gluten free cereals come in enviro bags that are larger than the boxes, and I look for them on sale... also the Envirokids cereals are a fave of my daughter!

The important thing to remember is that you're worth it! I look at these items as staples that are necessary items. Personally I do not care for Rice Crispies or corn flakes. They get too soggy and taste like mush. This may sound crazy, but I keep a box of baby rice cereal for mornings that I need to get out extra early. It's not bad with milk, a shake of cinnamon, and a squeeze of honey.

If you have a Trader Joe's near you, their prices are about the best that I've found for gluten-free cereal; these are the cereals that I like best: Enviro Kids Peanut Butter Panda Puffs and Enviro Kids Koala Krisp, Puffins-the plain and cinnamon-these come in a larger box and are great. Don't let the kid names fool you. These cereals are all good. My 6'2" son watches to see them on sale and will buy them for me at his super size grocery store. since some of the larger chain stores do carry more gluten-free products. You may want to try Red Mill products. They make a hot ceral mix called "Mighty Tasty gluten-free Hot Cereal". Yes that is really the name! And it's not bad, but it takes 10 minutes to cook. If you think it's expensive, remember that one bag lasts a long time (much longer than a box of cereal), and it's very nourishing. Also, Mr. Ritts Bakery in Philadelphia makes a pancake and waffle mix that is a pleasant change from cereal in the morning. They also have bags of a variety of flavored gluten-free cereals that are good and priced sensibly.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal. My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet. I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies. IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells. Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy. Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope. Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine? Were...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.

Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.
