My 5 year old was just diagnosed. He is in Pre-K. His school serves ceral and crackers during snack time. They said they will serve all the kids in his class the same thing if I just tell them what to serve.

Does anyone have any recommendations for cerals that are just regular brands from the ceral isle (not organic) that are gluten free?

Dora the Explorer's cereal is supposed to be gluten free -- I think it's Dora's Stars or something like that. It's cinnamon flavored.

Perky-O's are good, although $$, and they are gluten free. (gluten-free version of cheerios - frosted, apple cinnamon varieties available)

maybe veggies and fruits? raisins? trail mixes with gluten-free ingredients?

It's nice that they are willing to accommodate. I'm sure lots of moms on this site will have plenty of suggestions.

Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles are also gluten free! Those are the only "mainstream" cereals (other than Dora) that I know about.

Vampella--I can relate. We are from Canada too, and the mainstream foods that are gluten free here are definitely more limited. As for cereal that we can buy right off the shelf (not from a health food store), the only one that we have found is from the Real Canadian Superstore. It is President's Choice Crunchy Corn. It is in their "Organics" line, but not at the organic price. We buy a box of them for between $2.99-$3.29. They are like Corn Pops and all of my kids love them.

I send in all of my daughter's snacks to her preschool. I do not do it so the class can all have her snack for fear that another kid would say, "Eww, this is gross." After reading "Kids With Celiac Disease" by Donna Korn, I have always stuck to this method. At her birthday parties, I have had some food for everyone - Pirate's Booty, Tings (all by Robert's Gourmet) or Soy & Flaxseed chips from Trader Joes, fruits. But I had a regular cake for all the other kids and a special cake for her (her own Cinderella which was a HUGE hit!!!). I also had regular dinner for everyone else and her food for her. I have been very lucky that all of her little buddies have been very supportive and are used to hearing that other kids have eating restrictions. Her teachers are AMAZING and always let me know when someting is coming up so I can send in substitutes for her and they always have me read ALL labels. Her school has purchased gluten free play-doh for the class.

Good luck!

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
