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.

      What are Celiac Disease Symptoms?

      In addition to gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea, I had gastroesophageal reflux that was becoming intolerable despite treatment with PPIs and antacids. When I went gluten-free, the GERD lessened tremendously (as did the other symptoms).

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      Thank you so very much Scott. Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful. If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to ...

      My only proof

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating...

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many...

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.

      I think I am gluten intolerant

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely possible you are dealing with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS).  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.   Your situation is a classic presentation: a negative celiac panel but a clear, recurring pattern of symptoms triggered by gluten. The symptoms you listed—particularly the extreme fatigue, bloating, neurological-psychiatric symptoms like depression and anxiety, and even the skin manifestations like facial flushing—are all well-documented in research on NCGS. It's important to know that you are not alone in experiencing this specific combination of physical and emotional reactions. The only way to know for sure is to commit to a strict, 100% gluten-free diet under the guidance of a doctor or dietitian for a period of several weeks to see if your symptoms significantly improve. It is also crucial to rule out other potential causes, so discussing these symptoms with a gastroenterologist is a very important next step.
