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)

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.

      I have been diagnosed with coeliacs disease today after endoscopy, bloods and CT scan. I have also been diagnosed with Mesenteric Panniculitis today. Both of which I believe are autoimmune diseases. I have been told I will need a dexa scan and a repeat CT scan in 6 months. I had not even heard of Mesenteric Panniculitis till today. I don’t know much about it? Has anyone else got both of these.
