While still specialty foods, I've found that Health Valley Rice Crunch 'Ems and Corn Crunch 'Ems are gluten-free and taste just like Chex. Nature's Path and Health Valley both make corn flakes (one yellow, one blue) that are gluten-free and I think taste better than Kellog's (particularly the blue).

I've gotten an off brand of corn flakes that has no malt in it. Sorry, can't remember the brand. Got it at Big Lots.

Glutino's has a apple cinnamon 'cheerio' type cereal, as well as a honey nut.

And there is another 'cheerio' type cereal called Perkyo's that also come in apple cinnamon. I perfer the Perkyo's because it is fortified with vitamins and also cheaper that Glutino's Both say gluten free right on the box.

Both items have oat flour, which is - outside of a two or three expensive specialty suppliers - pretty much universally contaminated. It is a personal decision, but be aware that commercial oats are a very risky item.

Whenever I eat cold cereals (even before going gluten-free), the ones I like have always been those plain natural puffed ones, like puffed rice, corn, and millet. To me they just taste good, even without anything on them. But some fresh berries, raisins, or various other fruits go well with them too.

I think the only gluten-free specialty one I ever tried was an amaranth cereal, and that was good too. Tasted like rice crispies, and even made the snap-crackle-pop noise.

We like the Envirokids, our favorite is Gorilla Munch, and also like Arrowhead Mills Maple Buckwheat Flakes. For a hot cereal like Cream of Wheat nothing comes close to Cream of Buckwheat we get the one made by Pocono. It is high in protein and great comfort food.

Cream of Rice always seemed fairly equal to Cream of Wheat to me, even before going gluten-free. I have since discovered Kasha, which is roasted buckwheat. I think it's truly yummy, and even has a slight "mapley" flavor IMO. From the very first time I tried it, I got the distinct impression of Wheatena, only with a pleasingly smooth, creamy texture. The grittiness of Wheatena was the one thing I didn't like about it. Kasha quickly takes on a wonderful aroma as it cooks too. I actually use it most often as a grain with a medley of veggies. Seems to go well with everything I've tried so far, including blending it with millet or brown rice.

I eat Rice Twice (by Erewhon) every day. It is very good with bananas on it or plain. Sometimes I add Dora the Explorer on top to make it sweet. I get it at Wild Oats.

:D We were at Walmart last night so I checked out the cereals...Trix now looks like it gluten free! Still wish we had more choices. Do any Walmarts carry envirokids?

It really burns my behind just how outrageously expensive gluten-free cereals are in the HFS's!!! As someone who grew up eating the more "sensible" cereals like raisin bran, bran flakes, total, wheaties, cheerios, Kizx...I really find the fruity, artificially colored cereals repulsive.

The one gluten-free cold cereal I LOVE the most, but I feel totally ripped off buying is an Amaranth Corn Flake it is really yummy in a Natural Grain kinda way. It has an Aztec on the front and I cannot think of the name at the moment. It is incredibly overpriced as are all the grossly undersized for the price boxes of gluten-free cereals.

When I am in the mood while making a bowl of gluten-free cereal for my son, I swipe a small handful of gorilla munch..,it looks like my kid days of Kix although it tastes to me more like Captain Crunch!!!

Fortunately for me as an American of Russian / Ukrainian heritage I LOVE Kasha or Buckwheat and eat it several times a week.

I did ONCE find a gluten Free cereal in a discount store (maybe discontinued???) it was a Gluten Free Buckwheat fllake (like the texture of cornflakes) slightly sweetened with maple...it tasted like Buckwheat pancakes with syrup. I thought I had died and gone to heaven because it was after I realized I was unhappy with the lack of nutrition in most gluten free cereals (they are all like rice or corn to me) and buckwheat was a comfort food taste from my childhood.

But I have never seen it again.

OMG! I just googled Buckwheat flakes maple and gluten free and found them there~~~~

Woops I meant to say Kix...oh yeah and Grape Nuts were always more an adult cereal, but I loved that whole grain nutty taste. Here is another website that as if the gluten-free cereal is not expensive enough....they have to charge MORE for the cheeri O's type cereal we have long yearned for!!!

Is it just me, or do others find this upsetting? Especially the kid cereals...they must know how fast it goes...do they have to charge so dern much???

I do not know if any of you guys have a Wegmans around, but their brand of Organic Strawberry corn flakes are gluten free and they are actually very good. I eat them dry all the time (a habit I have always had)

LOL, I just edited the post. I am trying to post and my Maine Coon cat loves my lap top anymore, so as I am typing he is stepping on the keys and I am trying to shoo him off....:)

hahaha! I was hoping it was a typo and not that the flakes were so good, that even with Gluten, you couldn't stop eating them! :-)

Well in that case Strawberry Corn Flakes sound good to me...it's a shame I don't have a Wegman's! Enjoy!

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

      Son's legs shaking

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
