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.

      I  notice a reaction to tea bags, possibly due to gluten or other substances. Is this recognizable?

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.

      Thank you, really.  I took a test for DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG. Effectively, it is not enough to discard Celiac Disease. I was consuming gluten until then, I only started gluten-free some days ago, when the symptoms became horrible and now I feel considerably better, which is a second confirmation that gluten is the main problem. It's been more than 4 years I have the same suspect, when I first thought gluten was causing me problems, I made a gluten-free diet for a year, I felt really good as never before. However, neither I or my parents were well informed about Celiac disease, so none of us tried to make further exams. My father suffer digestive problems and other members of my family as well. Unfortunately, no one have ever been tested for Celiac disease. I'll have to restart eating gluten in the next weeks, so I can make a serious blood test in laboratory, hopefully between two or three months.

      As Scott said, in order for celiac disease testing to be valid, you need to be eating generous amounts of gluten on a regular basis for weeks or months before the blood draw. The blood tests are designed to detect antibodies that the immune system produces in response to the ingestion of gluten. It takes time for them to build up in the blood to detectable levels.

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely crucial that you pursue further medical exams for Celiac Disease and related conditions with a gastroenterologist. Your symptoms—especially the worsening fatigue, loss of muscle mass, neurological symptoms like migraines, and palpitations, coupled with being underweight—are significant red flags that extend beyond typical IBS. The negative home test is not reliable, particularly given your concern about sample contamination and the fact that you were likely not consuming sufficient gluten at the time for the test to be accurate, which is a common issue. While probiotics like Bifidobacterium Infantis can support gut health, they cannot resolve an autoimmune response to gluten or heal intestinal damage caused by Celiac Disease. Your declining blood test results, even if still "in range," further indicate a trend that needs a doctor's investigation. Please do not hesitate to seek a specialist; a formal diagnosis is the first step toward getting the correct treatment, allowing your body to heal, and finally addressing your weight and overall health concerns. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
