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 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)

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
