gluten-free Breakfast Cereal & Chocolate?


kasia

Recommended Posts

kasia Rookie

Hi there,

I posted this earlier & it appears to have vanished, so if I double post my apologies!

I'm from the UK & we are visiting WDW in May (which appears to be coeliac heaven!).

Just wondered if anyone could recommend some gluten-free breakfast cereal for an adult which isn't too sweet & is relatively healthy - can you get a gluten-free porridge type cereal (oatmeal but without the oats?).

Also I'm a bit of a chocoholic & would love to know of some great chocolate that I can snack on.

And finally ....... do any Floridians know the nearest store to get Redbridge beer please? We're staying in a villa near Formosa Gardens (highway 192 - is the area Kissimmee?). The gluten-free beer & lager here leaves a lot to be desired, & I'm looking forward to trying Redbridge, as it's not available in Britain.

Thanks for your help

Kate

dear husband has been gluten-free for 20 yrs and is so delighted with redbridge beer. to find it we went on the manufacturers site Ans . Bush and found the link to it. it also has a link to find where it's sold. i know that walmart's has it in my area and that stores in fla were listed. Can't spell anhauser correctly, so that's why i did not add the link . good luck. try www.anhauserbush.com

Bob's Red Mill has a Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal that is a comb of corn and other grains and is cooked with water on the stove. I add fruit and raisins and cinnamon. After cooking I add milk and a pinch of brown sugar.

Both Dolfin and Dacoba have some very interesting ingredients added, rosemary, rose hips, cinnamon, earl grey, etc.

Well, this isn't an adult cereal, but it might be perfect for a chocoholic! Cocoa Pebbles is gluten-free.

I also eat the Bob's cereal mentioned above.

We buy Redbridge at the grocery. I don't drink it, but non-gluten-free hubby loves it! He never used to be a beer drinker.

The great chocolate I buy is local to Ohio, but if you see a Kroger where you are, they sometimes carry it since they're out of Ohio-- Esther Price Chocolate. Other than that, I like the cheap stuff -- Reece's Pieces or Peanut Butter M&M's are my favorite. There are also good chocolate bars at places like Wild Oats or Whole Foods (you can search the internet for locations near where you'll be).

Lots of pure chocolate is gluten free - my favorite brands are Tropical Source and Dagoba, but I found Pralus today, and it's quite good.

your post did not disappear; you just did not have any responses yet on that thread. Please refrain from duplicate postings. At any time, you can click on your user name, and click on your threads or your posts to find things you have written. That is one way to find them.

Usually the admin will delete the re-posting, but since your re-posting is the one with responses, I have requested that your original post is deleted.

Thanks,

Hi Laura

How odd. My post did not appear I posted the 1st post at 8.36am & did not repost until 2.26pm having checked the board 5 times and my 1st post was not there. Very strange? BTW I did click on my user name & the post was there, just not on the board (5 hours later?)

As you can tell from my messgage I do not double post, but it really wasn't there. Do posts not get added immediately (maybe because the 1st post would have been posted in the middle of the night US time).

The second post showed up immediately, & when I checked the forum later I saw my 1st post further down.

I did try to delete the 1st post but couldn't

Sorry.

Kate

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!

      good luck! vital wheat gluten made me violently ill. I will touch the stuff ever again.  
    • catnapt
      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding.   I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th   I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose   they are going to have to come up with a test that doesn't require it.

      What Thiamine Hydrochloride brand do you take? Is it like the other vitamins I have added? What brand Tryptophan and amount do you take. Thanks
