The last couple of times I have eaten Fruity Pebbles I feel sick. Does anyone know if the cereal is still gluten free? The only other thing I had this morning was a white chocolate mocha from Starbucks.

Thanks,

Mindy :huh:

Couple of things...

1) CC is ALWAYS possible, and with a mainstrem product like fruity pebbles, I guess your bond to get a glutened box from time to time. Note the lot number, then toss it out and get a box from a dif lot and see.

2) CC is posible wth the starbucks too, you realy kind of need ot seperate the two to know where it mihgt have come from.

3) Are you sure its gluten at fualt?

Thank you!

I will rule out each item. Didn't think of cross contamination.

Is Fruity Pebbles really gluten free? I thought all cereal had gluten in it. What other cereals are safe (so far I don't have any other allergies that I know of yet - just gluten)?

the only "mainstream" ones that I know of are Fruity Pebbles, Cocoa Pebbles, and and Cocoa Puffs.

Other then that there are the Envirokids line of cereals, Health valley has Corn Crunch 'ems and Rice Crunch em's that are good too.

JUST BE CAREFULL with cocoa puffs. This is a forumal change to gluten-free. I sitll see old boxes around, so always check the ingredients.

Heres what the new gluten-free boxes look like:

I had cocoa pebbles for lunch today...(too lazy to cook last night so I have no left-overs) I never had problems with fruit pebbles or the cocoa ones either.

Always check ingredients list of the actual box you buy:

I have been successful eating:

Capn Crunch (new boxes are ok, no malt flavoring, but oat flour that Quaker says "can have CC"

Kix (nothing in the box I have, but don't like the cereal anyway)

All Kellogs have "malt flavoring" but OCCASIONALLY I will find a Rice Krispies or Frosted Flakes or Corn Flakes without it (oddly).

But basically I eat Capn Crunch almost every day and do fine.

Franceen (DH, not intestinal stuff)

Oats are a big nono for celiac disease...preahpas becasue you dont have celiac disease, just DH you can get away with it. All oats are contimated, not just Quaker. There is one Candaian and one Americal company making gluten free oats, but both are brand new and have no history to check realy and none of the mainstream companies use them that I know of.

DH is the skin manifestation of Celiac, and those with DH usually have intestinal damage, even if they don't have symptoms. Oats are a big no-no.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      It has been the most terrible illness ever! Going on 3 weeks now… I had chicken pox as a kid… crazy how much havoc this dormant virus has caused after being reactivated! No idea what even caused it to fire back up. I’m scared this pain and sensitivity is just never going to improve or go away

      OKJmartes. Skin and eyes. Also anxiety and frustration. I have read that Celiacs have more skin problems than people who do not have Celiacs. I take increased levels of Vit.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this. He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant ...

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until...

      Stomach hurts with movement

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping...

      OKJmartes. Skin and eyes. Also anxiety and frustration. I have read that Celiacs have more skin problems than people who do not have Celiacs. I take increased levels of Vit. D3, very high levels of B12 and an eating part of an avocado every day. KnittyKitty and others here can add what they take for skin health. A Dermatologist might identify the type of skin condition. By eyes you may mean eyesight problems not just irritated, red eyes. It is not very difficult to get a diagnosis of which eye condition is affecting your vision but much more difficult to find an effective remedy. The ophthalmologists I have seen have been only a little helpful. There seems to have been some advances in eye treatments that most of them are completely ignorant of or just won't add to their treatment plans.  Forcertain you may as well buy some remedy from a facebook ad but that is obviously risky and may actually damafe your eyes. However it is known that certain supplements , taken at the effectivelevels do help with eyesight. Two of them are Luten and zanthamin (spelling?)and certain anti-oxidants such as bilberry..    Hope this helps.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my  GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this.  He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant no celiac bc there may not be damage yet or it’s possible to miss biopsies where there’s damage but he was so sure and convinced me I needed that biopsy I went back on gluten. It was a terrible experience! I took pictures of the bloating and swelling and weight gain during the challenge. I gained 9 pounds, looked pregnant, was in pain , couldn’t work or function without long naps and the brain fog was debilitating. And in the end he didn’t get a positive biopsy… so I wish I had never wasted my time or health going through it. I haven’t been truly straightened  out since and I am currently battling a shingles infection at 43 and I can’t help but wonder if the stress I put my body under to try and get an official diagnosis has caused all this. Best of luck to you - whatever you decide. It’s not a fun thing to go through and I still don’t have the answers I was looking for

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until your holidays, prioritizing your immediate well-being and exams. To answer your questions, yes, it is possible for blood tests to be negative initially and become positive later as the disease progresses, which is why the biopsy remains the gold standard. Many, many people find the gluten challenge incredibly difficult due to the return of debilitating symptoms, so you are certainly not alone in that struggle. Wishing you the best for your exams and for obtaining clearer answers when you're able to proceed.

It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping issues that can affect those with celiac disease. Is it possible you got some gluten in your diet somehow? This could be a possible trigger. Hopefully, tomorrow's appointment will provide clearer answers and a path to relief so you can get back to your lectures and enjoy your weekend. Wishing you all the best for the consultation.
