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!

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
