I don't know specifically about cornflakes in Canada but in the UK alot of mainstream cornflakes (including Kellogs) have Barley malt in them - just a thought :)

Let me see if I can clarify. :) I was eating Kelloggs Corn Flakes, they have malt flavoring, but I wasn't having any problem eating these. But because I've learned that malt means they have gluten I've switched to a gluten free brand. The brand is Nature's Path, they are organic and say gluten free on the front of the package. The ingredients are organic corn meal, concentrated organic grape juice, sea salt. May contain traces of peanuts, tree nuts, or soy. I use regular 1% milk and am not bothered by milk products. I don't get why I'm having digestive problems now that I'm eating these. Except that it may be the grape juice?

I spent a bit on these but Kelloggs are cheaper and weren't bothering me at all, I think I will go back to Kelloggs Corn Flakes. <_<

I don't know what it is, but I have problems with nature's path gluten-free cereals, too. Always get a big stomach ache when I eat them. I don't know if it's too much corn at one time. I know some people have corn sensitivities. For me, I think it's just hard to digest, so eating too much of it gives me problems. That's what I think. I switched from corn to rice-based cereals and it's much better.

DON'T GO BACK to Kelloggs corn flakes... even if you aren't feeling any symptoms from them because they do have gluten in them you are doing silent damage to your intestines. No question about it. As far as the Nature's Path ones are concerned, I don't personally have a problem with them, but there may be something else in them you are having a problem with. Not every product agrees with every person. I'm sorry that they made you feel ill, and I don't know what to tell you other than, keep looking for another brand of corn flakes that are gluten free that you can tolerate.

how long have you been gluten free?

It very well could be the grape juice. I'm sensitive to sulfites and react to grape juice because its high in sulfites. Alot of the gluten-free foods or healthier type products are sweetened with grape juice or other fruit juices. If you were sensitive to sulfites you would also react to red wine, dried fruits and vegetables, dried coconut, etc.

Anything with these ingredients contains sulfites

Sodium Sulfite, Sodium Bisulfite, Sodium Metabisulfite,

Sulfur Dioxide Gas

Depending on the persons sensitivity they may react to only those foods which are very high in sulfites (i.e. grape juice) or they may react to nearly ALL processed foods, as sulfites are in nearly everything.

It might be something to look into if you notice a pattern.

Definately dont eat Kellogg's Corn Flakes...try another brand that is gluten-free but not sweetened with fruit juice and see if it helps.

Okay, thank you all, I'll try another brand. I won't do rice because for some reason it doesn't fill me up enough and I get hungry really quickly, then my hypoglycemia is trigured. Corn products fill me up more and I don't seem to get that drop. :) I'll see what I can get tomorrow to replace these Corn Flakes but I don't remember there being much else.

Rachel - I don't eat many dried fruits due to sugar levels and I get heartburn from too many? I do eat coconut and seem to have no problem with any of it. I also have no problem with vegtables but fruit doesn't always sit well with me especially banana's, apples and oranges. :huh:

I got sick from a gluten free brand of corn flakes too. It was that Nature's Path too I believe. I thought it was just me. :P

My Dietician told me that Kellogs Corn Flakes were gluten free. I was so happy because I was really missing cereal for breakfast. I have not had any problems with it at all.

Jerri-

Your dietician is wrong. They have malt. Malt comes from barley. Barley is not a safe grain on the gluten free diet. There are plenty of other gluten free cereals out there. Please don't risk eating a non-safe one just because you aren't having visible problems. You are still doing damage to your intestines.

Okay, here is what I've done (and please be patient with me and don't slam me) :P I went back to eating Kelloggs Corn Flakes. Simply because I was in way too much pain and discomfort from the other stuff, and yes I tried another brand, same problem. I'm back to the Kelloggs and am not having the pain or discomfort. After Christmas I might try to find something else to eat but I might not. So there you go, I'm doing what keeps me from having indigestion and heartburn. :rolleyes:

not gonna slam you, you are a grown up and it's your body.

I just want to clarify for any other newbies reading this thread that Kelloggs Corn Flakes are absolutely NOT gluten free, and are not recommended on the gluten free diet.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By trents · Posted

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Roses8721! How long were you off gluten before getting the celiac blood testing done? The testing is not valid after having been gluten free for a significant period of time. Many of your symptoms align with celiac disease.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      Hello, I am feeling frustrated. I have hEDS and lifelong digestive issues but my GI PA is very focused on my celiac panel and I just want to make sure that she should be focused on that because completely changing my diet seems to have worsened my symptoms.  Symptoms are constipation, diarrhea, and acid reflux with spicy foods and certain foods like tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions. I also don't have a gallbaldder as it was removed almost a year ago. This also exacerbated my symptoms. I did have joint pain from hEDS but that was already treated with low dose naltrexone about 4 months prior to going completely gluten free. Endoscopy was abnormal but inconclusive; basically showed some inflammation - which common with hEDS. I don't have any vitamin deficiency.   Celiac Panel Results: TTG-A <0.5 U/ML Reference Range: 0.5-14.9 U/ML NEGATIVE: <15 POSITIVE: =>15 DGP-A 72.0 U/ML Reference Range: 0.2-14.9 U/ML NEGATIVE: <15 POSITIVE: =>15 TTG-G <0.8 U/ML Reference Range: 0.8-14.9 U/ML NEGATIVE: <15 POSITIVE: =>15 DGP-G 24.0 U/ML Reference Range: 0.4-14.9 U/ML NEGATIVE: <15 POSITIVE: =>15 IgG-A-M Results: IMMUNOGLOBULIN A, QN, SERUM 165 MG/DL Reference Range: 87-352 MG/DL IMMUNOGLOBULIN M, QN, SERUM 164 MG/DL Reference Range: 26-217 MG/DL   What are your thoughts, internet? Are there any questions I should be asking the PA? Thanks!

      By Roses8721 · Posted

      Help. I’m spiraling. Years of extensive symptoms:  What could this be? Years of: Mildly elevated alk and alt Fatty liver Random days of feeling like I’m coming down w flu but no fever and nobody else in house sick Intermittent diarrhea Severe abdominal distension Long history of cavities and enamel deficiency Sound sensitivity Anxiety and depression Low libido Sun skin allergy Frequent fatigue ended up seeing PCP because I looked 8 mo preg. Started gluten-free diet then celiac serology negative. SW GI Dr dx me w celiac as I had been in bed for 3 days after eating gluten after cutting. GI said not to do biopsy because it was clear what was going on and added to chart. My spiral is not seeing anywhere this is done and want to see if anyone else has dealt w this. If not celiac idk what else I will do. Family history or celiac as well as a death related to this.
