Can someone give me the defintive answer to whether or not Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebble are gluten free? I have read so mnay conflicting accounts about both cereals. I would love to have some but not willing to take the chance without some assurance that they are safe to eat.

Can anyone proved THE ANSWER?

Thanks so much.

They are made by Post which is a Kraft product. Kraft is a company who will list all sources of gluten.

My kids have been eating them recently without problems.

My kids eat cocoa pebbles almost daily w/out problems. And Trix are safe, now also. My toddler loves them and hasn't had any problems! I have eaten all of them too w/out a problem. Just read the box to make sure.

Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles by Post are gluten free. Cocoa Puffs by General Mills now have wheat starch, though I found the 70% less sugar variety on clearance and scoured the label 5 times-it appears to be the old gluten free formula. We cleared the store shelf! I never used to allow chocolate for breakfast, but it has been a nice treat during the initial stages to remind them that are our still yummy foods they can have.

I was just to the store to get Trix. The origanl Trix are gluten free made with cornmeal, however if you get the Trix with the flower shape and thing they have flour in them.

You know your husbands/friends/coworkers spend too much time on MMORPG's when start reading the title to this post, and think it's a OT post about "Burning Crusades". :rolleyes::blink: Save me from the insanity!

(The gamers, or those with gamers in the family, will get this. The rest of you thank your lucky stars it makes no sense.)

I EAT FRUITTY PEBBLES ALLTHE TIME.

NOW i KNOW ABOUT THE OTHERS THANK YOU ;)

mORE TO EAT YAHOOOOO!!!!!! :lol:

MAYBE JUST MAYBE THEY WILL MAKE CAPTAIN CRUNCH GLUTEN FREE SOMEDAY ?

I would love to be able to eat Captain Crunch, or Honeycomb for that matter( I had both in large quanties before I was diagnosed...)

What does suck, is so many of these cereals are "almost" gluten free, other than malt or something like that. Cocoa and Fruity Pebbles are gluten free, at least in the US. Trix and Cocoa Puffs are sometimes gluten free. It seems they keep switching, at least from my observance. Check the lables, heck, I do that with most everything I buy, other than a few things I really trust(Hormel... namely)

      Dear Community,  I've been a fan of nuts.com for awhile. As the only company I know of that certify their nuts, I have eaten them faithfully for the last several years! Only recently I noticed on the packaging (of the certified gluten-free nuts) the warning label stating that the product is processed in the same facility as wheat.  I reached out to the company to enquire about the safety of the product and received the following answer:  "Our facility is not allergen-free. We handle all 9 major allergens and produce products on shared equipment. While we have strict procedures in place to minimize cross-contamination, we cannot guarantee that our products are completely free of allergens. We recommend individuals with food allergies to exercise caution and consult our product labels and allergen information for detailed ingredient listings"   I was so disappointed to read this! I already reached out to ask if this means they would not recommend even certified gluten-free products to people with celiac, but wanted to reach out here and ask for your all's thoughts too.  No longer safe to eat? Any other recommendations for good companies?  I have to eat low histsamine, so at the moment, I am limited to pumpkin seeds, pistachios, and macademia nuts.   Thanks in advance for the feedback!

      There is no direct evidence that AlgaeCal causes elevated coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores or significantly raises cholesterol levels. However, excessive calcium supplementation—especially without adequate vitamin K2 (which helps direct calcium to bones rather than arteries)—could theoretically contribute to vascular calcification over time, particularly in individuals with absorption issues like celiac disease. Since celiac disease can impair nutrient absorption, it’s possible that imbalances in calcium metabolism or deficiencies in cofactors like vitamin D and K2 might play a role. The spike in your cholesterol is unusual and may not be directly linked to AlgaeCal, but it’s worth discussing with your doctor whether other dietary or metabolic factors (like thyroid function or inflammation) could be influencing both your cholesterol and CAC results. Statins may help manage cholesterol, but further testing (e.g., vitamin K2 status, inflammation markers) could provide more insight into the underlying cause. Always consult your healthcare provider before adjusting supplements or medications.

      Some might. Some might not. Why don't you try it? Taste is a very personal and individual thing. I don't know that anyone can speak for you.
