I think the recipes are actually a bit different in the UK so the same rules don't apply.

Thanks! I don't know how I missed malt flavoring in the list on Corn Flakes because there are only like 4 or 5 things listed. What is even more interesting is the big bold type that usually lists allergens says:

"Corn used in this product contains traces of soybeans"

No mention of other allergens! I thought they were supposed to list allergens, and most of the Kelloggs products I have looked at do. Does the Codex thing allow them to now mention the malt flavoring?

As far as other cereals, Lucky Charms are the bomb! BUT!!!!!! Schnuck's sells a "knock off" called Magic Stars that I read the ingredients list on because they are the Schnuck's brand of Lucky Charms. I had a good size bowl of those Friday night after having eaten 2 pieces of my "poison chicken"! I later re-read the list and found WHEAT STARCH! No wonder I feel like I am going to die right now!

I think NOW would be a great time to go to my Dr. and have the tests run for Celiac, because after having been exposed like I have been over the last week, I should be full of antibodies. Would I need my Dr. to order the tests from Entrolab or let him choose who to order from? I am wanting as much as possible to have this testing paid for by my insurance.

Thanks!

The allergen labeling law only requires them to list the eight most common food allergies - wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, milk, shellfish, fish, eggs, and soy. Barley is not on the list, and doesn't have to be labeled.

Puffins made me sick. I don't remember what kind I got, but I checked that it was gluten free.

Enviro-Kids cereal is gluten free and healthy too! You can find it at Albertsons or Safeway. Maybe Nugget too.

Thanks for all the great responses.

My electricity went off on the 19th after a bad storm came on shortly late on the 20th, knocked out again on Friday morning and just came back this evening, so I have been out of the loop for awhile.

I want to add one more thing. I am really sorry about posting in the wrong forum. I did not realize that this was Teenagers Only when I posted the first time. I had performed a search on Corn Flakes and when this thread came up, I posted. I hope this did not cause great difficulty.

Thanks again.

Glen

I'm not a teenager, so I'm not sure how I ended up here... but I do have small children, and a child like love of cereal. So, I thought I'd comment.

I LOVE Envirokids Koala Crunch. It's chocolately - and turns the milk chocolaty!! And, it makes great "rice krispy-like" treats! =)

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

ugh....totally agree. the texture, the taste, everything. yuck!

If you are looking for a cereal with high protein, more fiber and less sugar than Perky's Nutty Flax is for you. I think its wonderful. I usually have it with a few walnuts and sliced bananas. If you close your eyes its like eating banana nut bread with milk. YUM!

3/4 cup serving...

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

Old thread, but I found it with google? I just ate a big bowl of the Cinnamen flavor puffins. Damn. Is it the oat flour?

Damn.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take both Benfotiamine and TTFD. You might want to start with the Benfotiamine for a few days and then add in the TTFD. You can look for NeuroMag (Magnesium Threonate). A magnesium glycinate is fine, too. Doctor's Best is a good brand. Don't take more than 300mg total per day of magnesium or it may have a laxative effect. Be sure...

      Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine has 100MG of Ben and 25 of Thia..... Do you think this is the one I should take or Objective Nutrients Thiamax (TTFD) which has 100MG Thiamine. How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for...

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state...

How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for men and doesn't have BHT which has shown to cause liver cancer in animals. I was never big with multivitamins as well as doctors I just read when I was first going gluten free to take a multi but I think I will stop them and work on trying the super B Thia and Ben, Mag.

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.
