Yes they are, as is berry pebbles. Newer Trix cereal is also gluten free. Make sure the food starch is corn. Older boxes of Trix are not gluten-free. Dora's stars cereal, Disney's Little Einsteins, and Mickey Mouse (Clubhouse?) are also gluten-free.

I have no idea. :blink: You should probably contact the companies directly because they have so much protein and fillers in them.

Fruity, Berry, and Cocoa Peebles are indeed gluten free. Cocoa Krispies are NOT. I'm not sure if you were just inquiring about Peebles, but there is also a cereal called Cocoa Krispies. Just wanted to make sure you didn't confuse the two.

BTW, Cocoa Peebles make an awesome substitute for rice krispie treats

Red Bull and Vault energy drinks are gluten free. I would assume most others are also since they are mostly caffeine and sugar, but I'd check with the manufacturers to be safe.

OOPPS. I thought you wrote cocoa and fruity pebbles. :rolleyes: Sorry. The rice crispy type cereals are not gluten-free, but the pebbles cereals are.

Can you please let me know which brand of Corn Flakes? I think I read that Kelloggs contains Malt Flavoring. Thanks! I love cereal and have really been missing it!

Hope you don't mean Kellogg's Corn Flakes, because they are definitely NOT gluten-free (they contain malt, which is from barley, which is gluten). Most dieticians know very little about gluten, unfortunately...

I think most of the general cereals have malt in them. In the health food section there are some good gluten-free cereals.

One of the first things that confused me when I went gluten free was Corn flakes....they seem so simple who would have ever thought they would contain malt? Same with Rice Krispies.

I found Heallth Valley corn "chex" at Fred Meyer. I hope to make a version of gluten-free "chex mix." ;)

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
