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)

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
