I'm not a teenager. Just noticed what section this was. My family likes the Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice with Mixed Berries. Also Envirokidz cereals. I believe Panda Puffs is gluten free (it does have soy oil I think). They also have Amazon Flakes. There is also Buckwheat Maple Flakes from Arrowhead? I think. A lot of the flake cereal taste better with fruit. Hope this helps.

Hope I'm forgiven for posting on this thread. :unsure:

Every night I make a mixture of Panda Puffs and fruit sweetened (not honey) Corn Flakes (both Nature's Path), as well as Quinoa Puffs (Go Go QUinoa).

Gorilla Munch, I hear, tastes like Cap'n Crunch (never had Cap'n Crunch, so I don;'t know).

Neopets Islandberry crunch is supposedly gluten free. I like a lot of the specialty cereals like Perky-O's and Nutty Rice cereal. You can find a ton of options online at shopbydiet.com. Their prices are reasonable too.

It's been too long since I had Cap'n Crunch to say for sure, but Gorilla Munch is quite tasty! :)

Barabara's Puffins are fabulous. Gorilla Munch is good and the Panda Puffs are also excellent, but my vote is the Puffins.

Careful with Puffins - only the Honey Rice variety are gluten-free. (And I think some have reported CC issues with those.)

New boxes of Trix are gluten free, but read the label and check the date. They haven't been gluten-free for that long.

Nature's Path fruit sweetened cornflakes. I like these the best out of everything I have tried. Haven't tried the Perky'Os, because I haven't seen them.

hey!

thanks for all the suggestions everybody! :) i tried the gorilla munch...very tasty! panada puffs were pretty good also. i tried one (i can't remember the name because i threw it directly in the garbage!) that wasn't very good, but i bought it because it was a healthier one and higher in fiber and stuff. any ideas for one like this?? is quinoa or whatever like that?? i'm still looking for a kashi go-lean type replacement :)

thanks! have a good weekend!

I found the miracle of all cerials if you like peanut butter. I used to live on cereal, too and I found that I love with my life peanut butter panda puffs. I have gone through like 7 boxes this month and I am not kiddin! I also like enjoy life cinnamin (sorry I was never much of a speller) granola with bananas and yoplat banana creme yogurt. lemon burst is good to. HIH!! :lol:

I know one thing. Don't try Cer-os. Look like Cheerios. Don't taste like 'em :wacko: Nasty!

This threads a little old but I just got hooked on a cereal so I thought I'd share. I used to be a big Cheerios fan and would eat bowl after bowl. When I got Celiac Disease I couldn't find a cereal that was plain, but not nasty. Everything was either too sugary for my tastes or just plain gross. However, recently I came across a box of Rice Crunch-Ems Cereal, made by Health Valley. And I must say it really fills Cheerios shoes well. Not quite as many Vitamins and minerals but the taste is good and you can always suppliment it with fruit and juice.

Koala Crisp by Envirokids is really good, they remind me a little of Chocolate Rice Krispies you can usually find them at Whole Foods or at My Organic Market (MOM's). Hope you like them.

I really goofed up and used crushed Kelloggs Corn Flakes as a coating for Oven Fried Chicken only to realize that they contain malt flavoring. I am really sick right now. I made the chicken Thursday, ate 2 leg quarters that day, 2 on Friday and 2 more on Saturday. So, I am really in a mess right now.

I do have this question though. I found the following statement on www.kelloggs.co.uk/health/ntrn_ntrn_gluten_free.asp

Please note that only the cereals listed above have been removed - although Kellogg Rice Krispies, Ricicles and Coco Pops contain malt flavouring they fall well within the international Codex Standard of 200ppm.

Now, I realize that this is a UK site, which I didn't intend to search, but, was looking at a google search, so the information here may be only for UK products and not US products. But, are Rice Krispies actually OK? I don't know how much malt Corn Flakes have, but, I am miserable right now and will NOT be using Corn Flakes ever again!

Thanks for any info.

ohhh....kashi crunch....that is my favorite. My husband eats it 3 times daily in front of me. I have tried envirolife????? granola cceral. Its not kashi, but its alright. Most of the time I mix Perky's Nutty flax it has 7 fiber and 6 protein 5 fat :angry: with panda puffs. Perky isn't so tasty.

Erewhon makes a safe crisp rice cereal and Nature's Path makes a couple of varieties of safe cornflakes.

I am under the impression that the Codex requirements are more for the convenience of the manufacturers than the safety and health of celiacs.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
