hi, everybody, i'm trying really hard on finding "regular things" that are gluten free.

(I hate to pay double price just because there is a big "gluten free" thing on the box).

Im doing very good whit walmart products and Publix product (I send them an email to publix, and they send me a very big list of their gluten free products).,

:blink: but the thing is none of them include any cereal and thats what my son eats every morning.

so... the question is: any "regular" cereal that is gluten free (and whit no posible cross contamination?)

thx to evrebody!!

The only "regular" cereals that I've found that are gluten-free are some of the kid cereals and they are so full of junk I don't want to eat them anyway. My daughter however, likes Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles, and we get Nature's Path Mesa Sunrise and Nature's Path Corn Flakes. Envirokids cereals are also some of my daughter's faves... and since places like Publix and WalMart are starting to carry them, the price isn't that bad.

I thought I herd somthing about the fruity pebbles not being gluten free anymore? We buy the cocoa pepples though. We also get one called dora cereal that someone on here mentioned....I hope they were right and I can't find anything bad on the lable but i am new at this...they are little rice stars with cinnamon.....I wasn't that fond of them but my 5 year old daughter loves them. Other than that we do buy some of the enviro kids cereals. We bought frosted perkios and my husband and I hated them but once again our daughter loves them. It would be nice though if some of the main stream "normal" cereals would make some things gluten free. It's disapointing to find all the corn and rice based cereals are bad.

I just bought a box of Enviro Kidz Amazon frosted flakes at Meijer for $2.99. They are good as well!

The box I bought last Friday was ... but it's always a good idea to read the box every time ... after all, they changed the Cocoa Puffs recipe with no warning!

I just noticed that about Cocoa Puffs. I'd been buying them for my daughter and when I went to pick up some more, I checked the label like normal and saw WHEAT. I was so mad I could have thrown a serious tantrum right there in the store!

As for Cocoa Puffs I think they must make them in two different locations. I have went in to the same grocery store one day, and find one without wheat, and then a week later, I will go in, and see one with wheat. I don't think its "old" versus "new" as each time I check, the exp. date is moving forward, but sometimes the labels have wheat, and some show it doesn't

Kind of odd, for a product to actually be different in ingredients. I've just been afraid to buy it, as I always wonder if the ones that don't show wheat truly are gluten free.

That, and my fear of walking down the cereal aisle... I'm also afraid to go over by the bakery/bread area. But then I'm Mr. paranoid... I make my wife go check out the cereals for me...

hi, and thanks :) to evrebody, I ve just bought a couples of dora post cereal , cocoa , fruity and frosty pebbles in supertarget (hanna I hope you have one close). I checked the ingrdients and all were ok.

But you know what?, I called to the companies anyway, and while Kraft is telling us to check the labes (read as: dont call for evrey single product); I think that they relly need to compromise as I told to the kind lady who answer the phone and Write GLUTEN FREE on the labels, because maybe I know how to read labels but Im lucky and when I go to my mothers house, or brother or friends they want to buy products to feed my son that wont make him sick and they dont know how to read labels.............

anyway maybe, just maybe if we keep calling the 1000 times a day theyll realize that we are a few with the same needs, and whay to pay to 3 ladies answering the phone when thay can write it on the boxes,.....

i dont know, maybe because im new in this........

anyway, thx again!!!!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      It has been the most terrible illness ever! Going on 3 weeks now… I had chicken pox as a kid… crazy how much havoc this dormant virus has caused after being reactivated! No idea what even caused it to fire back up. I’m scared this pain and sensitivity is just never going to improve or go away

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this. He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant ...

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until...

      Stomach hurts with movement

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping...

      OKJmartes. Skin and eyes. Also anxiety and frustration. I have read that Celiacs have more skin problems than people who do not have Celiacs. I take increased levels of Vit. D3, very high levels of B12 and an eating part of an avocado every day. KnittyKitty and others here can add what they take for skin health. A Dermatologist might identify the type of skin condition. By eyes you may mean eyesight problems not just irritated, red eyes. It is not very difficult to get a diagnosis of which eye condition is affecting your vision but much more difficult to find an effective remedy. The ophthalmologists I have seen have been only a little helpful. There seems to have been some advances in eye treatments that most of them are completely ignorant of or just won't add to their treatment plans.  Forcertain you may as well buy some remedy from a facebook ad but that is obviously risky and may actually damafe your eyes. However it is known that certain supplements , taken at the effectivelevels do help with eyesight. Two of them are Luten and zanthamin (spelling?)and certain anti-oxidants such as bilberry..    Hope this helps.

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my  GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this.  He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant no celiac bc there may not be damage yet or it’s possible to miss biopsies where there’s damage but he was so sure and convinced me I needed that biopsy I went back on gluten. It was a terrible experience! I took pictures of the bloating and swelling and weight gain during the challenge. I gained 9 pounds, looked pregnant, was in pain , couldn’t work or function without long naps and the brain fog was debilitating. And in the end he didn’t get a positive biopsy… so I wish I had never wasted my time or health going through it. I haven’t been truly straightened  out since and I am currently battling a shingles infection at 43 and I can’t help but wonder if the stress I put my body under to try and get an official diagnosis has caused all this. Best of luck to you - whatever you decide. It’s not a fun thing to go through and I still don’t have the answers I was looking for

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until your holidays, prioritizing your immediate well-being and exams. To answer your questions, yes, it is possible for blood tests to be negative initially and become positive later as the disease progresses, which is why the biopsy remains the gold standard. Many, many people find the gluten challenge incredibly difficult due to the return of debilitating symptoms, so you are certainly not alone in that struggle. Wishing you the best for your exams and for obtaining clearer answers when you're able to proceed.

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping issues that can affect those with celiac disease. Is it possible you got some gluten in your diet somehow? This could be a possible trigger. Hopefully, tomorrow's appointment will provide clearer answers and a path to relief so you can get back to your lectures and enjoy your weekend. Wishing you all the best for the consultation.
