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.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
