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:

gorilla munch is great, tastles like a little more sugard version if kicks, really good with bananas, and then there is a peanut butter version as well both are gluten-free but they do contain soy (and cant promiss against cc from milk and nuts) but i have never had a problem with them eat it every morning with almond milk

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.

Dora's Cinnamon Stars are REALLY good. My other stand-by is cocoa puffs. Enjoy!

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.

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June.

      Is this celiac?

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So...

      Is this celiac?

      The symptoms that led to my diagnosis were stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, body/nerve tingling and burning and chills. It went away after about four days but led me to a gastro who did an upper endo and found I had marsh 3b. I did the blood test for celiac and it came back negative. I have gone gluten free. In week 1 I had a flare-up that was similar to...

My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?

      I only went on the multi vitamin AFTER a couple of year of high dose, targeted supplementation resolved most of my deficiencies.  I was on quite a cocktail of vitamins that was changed every 6 months as my deficiencies resolved.  Those that were determined to be genetic are still addressed with specific doses of those vitamins, minerals and amino acids. I have an update on my husband and his A Fib.  He ended up in the hospital in August 2025 when his A Fib would not convert.  He took the maximum dose of Flecainide allowed within a 24 hour period.  It was a nightmare experience!  They took him into the ER immediately.  They put in a line, drew blood, did an EKG and chest Xray all within minutes.  Never saw another human for 6 hours.  Never got any results, but obviously we could see he was still in A fib by watching the monitor.  They have the family sign up for text alerts at the ER desk.  So glad I did.  That is the only way we found out that he was being admitted.  About an hour after that text someone came to take him to his room on an observation floor.  We were there two hours before we saw another human being and believe it or not that was by zoom on the TV in the room.  It was admissions wanting to know his vaccine status and confirming his insurance, which we provided at the ER desk.  They said someone would be in and finally a nurse arrived.  He was told a hospitalist was in charge of his case.  Finally the NP for the hospitalist showed up and my husband literally blew his stack.  He got so angry and yelled at this poor woman, but it was exactly what he needed to convert himself to sinus rhythm while she was there.  They got an EKG machine and confirmed it.  She told him that they wanted to keep him overnight and would do an echo in the morning and they were concerned about a wound on his leg and wanted to do a doppler to make sure he did not have a DVT.  He agreed.  The echo showed everything fine, just as it was at his annual check up in June and there was no DVT.  A cardiologist finally showed up to discharge him and after reviewing his history said the A Fib was due to the Amoxicillan prescribed for his leg wound.  It both triggers A Fib and prevents the Flecainide from working.  His conversion coincided with the last dose of antibiotic getting out of his system.  So, make sure your PCP understands what antibiotics you can or cannot take if susceptible to A Fib.  This cardiologist (not his regular) wanted him on Metoprolol 25 mg and Pradaxa.  My husband told him that his cardiologist axed the idea of a beta blocker because his heart rate is already low.  Sure enough, it dropped to 42 on the Metoprolol and my husband felt horrible.  The pradaxa gave him a full body rash!  He went back to his cardiologist for follow up and his BP was fine and heart rate in the mid 50's.  He also axed the Pradaxa since my husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation.   Oh and I forgot to say the hospital bill was over $26,000.  Houston Methodist!

      The symptoms that led to my diagnosis were stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, body/nerve tingling and burning and chills. It went away after about four days but led me to a gastro who did an upper endo and found I had marsh 3b. I did the blood test for celiac and it came back negative.  I have gone gluten free. In week 1 I had a flare-up that was similar to my original symptoms. I got more careful/serious. Now at the end of week 2 I had another flare-up. These symptoms seem to get more intense. My questions:  1. How do I know if I have celiac and not something else? 2. Are these symptoms what others experience from gluten?  When I have a flare-up it’s completely debilitating. Can’t sleep, can’t eat, can’t move. Body just shakes. I have lost 10 pounds since going gluten free in the last two weeks.
