My son didn't like the Perky-O's either. Thank goodness they were on sale for a bargain $4.99 :o down from $6.99 for a 263g box.

They seemed pretty bland. I suppose I'll try to convince him to eat them and I'll put gobs of brown sugar on them for encouragement. He used to live on Honey Nut Cheerios, so that's what we're looking for.

I tried them too, thought they were awful, it made me so mad to throw a whole box away, I paid almost 7 bucks :angry:

yeah the Perky O's were pretty yuck...

Have you seen the Glutino ones? I don't know if they meet all of your allergen free requirements, but might be worth checking out...

I actually add honey to the perky'os instead of sugar and my daughter likes them :) Have you tried that?

I used to eat 3 bowls of Cheerios a day, and I gave up after struggling through half a box of Perky-Os. No more for me, thanks. I think it was the salt that made Cheerios so good.

I have yet to find any Cheerio's or CAPT Crunch or Rice Krispies, or Corn Flakes substitue that I can tolerate. Don't know what's wrong with them, but they are awful. I've tried lots of substitutes and no joy.

So, I no longer eat cereal except for CAPT Crunch once in a great while (a bowl once in a while doesn't bother me, but everyday does). Lucky Charms is ok too, but I don't really like them that much - and same deal, once in a while is ok, but not often.

(That's MY sensitivity level - most others can't tolerate ANY amount of Capt Crunch or Lucky Charms).

Good luck, it is NOT easy. I wish Cocoa Puffs would be gluten-free again!

Have you tried any of the Envirokids cereal's?

I find them quite tasty. I know they are gluten free, but I cannot verify if they would meet the rest of your

dietary requirements.

I finally found Perky-Os and I only bought the Apple Cinnamon once, those are actually good. they are sweeter if you add sugar. Maybe you should try those?

I haven't tried them yet, but I heard the Glutino cereal that looks like cheerios is pretty close. I think they are called Cereal O's.

Gluteno has two ... Apple Cinnamon and Honey Nut, both are fairly good.

Having said that ... Perkyos has a lot more vitamins by far! And I find the Apple cinnamon one not bad.

      It sounds like you’re doing a really thoughtful, disciplined job listening to your body and tightening things up where needed. Tracking symptoms alongside foods in MyFitnessPal is a smart next step, especially since bloating and gas can come from specific GF ingredients (like gums, fibers, or certain flours) rather than gluten itself. Your approach to eating o...

      Just be sure that she continues eating lots of gluten daily for at least 2 weeks before the endoscopy, otherwise going gluten-free beforehand could create false negative results.

      Her results only showed greater then 100 which over 10 is considered positive. But American standards still recommend the endoscopy to confirm.

We figured since it’s still recommended here, do the endoscopy so Insurance can’t argue anything in the fut...

      My daughter also has it, and it's much better to discover it early. What was the positive level for her test?

      I forgot to mention that I also had to avoid eggs for a few years after initially going gluten-free, but could eat duck eggs without issues. Fresh duck eggs can often be found in Asian markets (be sure they are fresh eggs, because they sell various kinds of duck eggs that look the same like salted eggs, eggs with embryos inside, etc.), farmer's markets, and...

      It sounds like you’re doing a really thoughtful, disciplined job listening to your body and tightening things up where needed. Tracking symptoms alongside foods in MyFitnessPal is a smart next step, especially since bloating and gas can come from specific GF ingredients (like gums, fibers, or certain flours) rather than gluten itself. Your approach to eating out, avoiding places that can’t confirm safety, and planning ahead for travel is exactly how many people stay well long-term. It’s also very common to discover that even “certified” or restaurant GF pizza doesn’t agree with you, so trusting that pattern makes sense. Overall, this reads like progress, not restriction—and the fact that you’re feeling better most of the time suggests you’re on the right path.

If she has over 10x that level, and you have celiac disease, I'm not sure if a biopsy is necessary to diagnose her. In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children!
