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 ;)

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

grantschoep Contributor

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)

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. 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.
