I think I might have found a cold cereal I can eat today. It is the Amarath O's by Nu World Foods and although they definitely weren't high on the list of "best cereal I've ever had" they were tasty and did the trick to make me feel normal (I ate three bowls in a row I think the last time I had a bowl of cereal was at least February if not December :blink: ). Now, I wait to see if I react. Please Please Please I hope these are okay. :D:lol:

What kind of cereals do you generally like? Erewhon makes a really good brown rice and berries cereal that is gluten free. I enjoy sweeter cereals so I generally eat the Envirokidz Panda Puffs and Gorilla Munch. My husband swears by the Erewhon stuff.

The labels of the ones I've found beofre usually contained soy flour or casein of some type which I can't have in addition to the gluten. Plus, I wasn't "ready" to add something back in but I was craving something new yesterday at the store so I bought the box. So far so good. I think I just might be having cereal for breakfast now :)

I need to look at the ingediants agian when I get home but have you tried the Enviro- Kids cold cerals. The corn flakes are good. They have several diffrent kinds. I got that since my parents went organic about a year ago and buy that kind for my nephews. I had tried it before.

We eat the Enviro-kids cornflakes and they are good and gluten-free. :P

Nieather are an ingrident in the Enviro Kid corn flakes but it says it may contain traces of peanuts, tree nuts, or soy.

Somebody on here said we can have coco pebbles I been eating them I can't see any thing in it that can be bad.

Coco pebbles are full of artificial junk and sugar - not good for anyone. Envirokid would be a much better choice, they even have coco pebbles knock off.

My son tried the envirokidz cocoa pebbles and they tasted just like the sugary kind - only better for you!

Sometimes, it's just about being able to go into a regular store and buying something off the shelf and not paying an arm and a leg for it. Or if you're dealing with kids (like I am) - something that the other kids are eating, too.

The nutrionist that I spoke with also recommended Dora the Explorer Cereal as gluten-free. I don't see soy or casein in there either but I don't have to screen for that and don't know all the ways they hide it in a label.

Does anyone know if westsoy Rice drink is gluten free?

Also Im pretty sure the Puffins cereal is gluten free, the peanut butter flavor is better than capn crunch. They just need to make their boxes bigger, only get 2 bowls out of them.

be careful with the envirokids. i forgot whats in it, maybe malt. but i ate for about a year, stopped, and then bought a box the other day. i ate a bowl and became so sick. they added something to it thats not completely gluten-free

      Do You Know Your GlutenID?

      This fascinates me, in part because I used to work for Illumina (the sequencing platform that this lab uses). The price has me tempted but I'm sitting on the fence for now. Fwiw, one thing this article does not mention is that the Company is offering a discount if you buy multiple tests: "GlutenIDTM Kits Quantity Discounts: Buy 3–4 → 10% o...

      Gluten Free Sugar or Starch known to increase gas?

      Even if you don't have Celiac Disease, you can still get SIBO. Glad to hear you're taking the vitamins and magnesium! Are you getting sufficient Omega Three oils like flaxseed, olive oil, or Sunflower seed oil? I didn't like coconut oil because it upset my digestive tract. How is your Vitamin D level?

      Gluten Free Sugar or Starch known to increase gas?

      I was looking at SIBO but I don't think I fall into that category. Yes I eat meat. I don't think I'm celiac I think I am just gluten intolerant but I take multivitamin, Super B Complex, Benfo with Thiam, Thiamax, Neuromag that you suggested.

      Prospective CRISPR research

      @Lotte18, thank you for providing this page from the research proposal. Some comments, if I may (apologies for what you already know): They start by saying that previous research has shown that it's possible to modify the HLA-DQA1 gene and have that new version expressed "in humans" (not sure if they mean intact humans or just cells in culture).

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      thank you for that info too!! will keep this in mind if he ends up in the ER again!

      @Lotte18, thank you for providing this page from the research proposal. Some comments, if I may (apologies for what you already know): They start by saying that previous research has shown that it's possible to modify the HLA-DQA1 gene and have that new version expressed "in humans" (not sure if they mean intact humans or just cells in culture). This is a standard form of scientific communication where you explain what is already known as it relates to what you want to do next. The HLA-DQA1 gene encodes 1/2 of a series of "locks" from my earlier metaphor. Two of the types of locks that can be made by variants of this gene are called DQ2.5 and DQ8 (either of which will confer susceptibility to celiac). DQ2.5, DQ8, and other DQ's are referred to as "heterodimers" - "dimer" means made up of exactly 2 pieces and "hetero" means that the pieces are not identical to one another (identical parts would be homodimer). HLA-DQA1 genes each make a protein that becomes one of the two parts of a series of heterodimers. Different forms of HLA-DQA1 are called "variants" or "alleles".  Next they say that they propose to use the same technology in attempt to minimize/cure celiac. The idea is reasonable science and before considering all of the caveats it certainly has merit as something to consider. As a side note, I would challenge some of their language. DQ2.5 and not-2.5 are both "variants" or "alleles" - one is not "wildtype" nor the other "mutant". Their proposal is to "modify", not "correct" the gene. This might sound picky but I have a background in genetics and this is jarring to me. The last paragraph outlines more of the roadmap for their proposal using relatively mundane steps (apheresis) and relatively advanced steps (CAR-T). There is a logic to their approach but there are severe caveats. CAR-T is kind of a nuclear option. It has shown many miracle cures in certain kinds of cancer and it is being studied for some kinds of life-threatening autoimmune disease. It also has devastating side effects. If tomorrow someone offered me a fully validated CAR-T procedure for celiac along the lines of this proposal, based on my understanding of the risks I would turn them down. Separately, I would also have concerns about the "off target" risk of the CRISPR part of the procedure. In addition to funding issues, there may be significant ethical issues that would challenge their proposal. Human clinical trial proposals go through extensive review before they are approved and one of the significant considerations is whether the risks to the patient are warranted (relative to the benefit). If a procedure has really horrible side effects but it is the only available option for a dying patient, the review board is likely to approve. However, if there is a much less harmful treatment option that delivers enough of a benefit, then there is a higher chance that the trial would not be approved. For celiacs, the availability and relative effectiveness of gluten-free diet will raise the bar for trying risky therapies in the clinic. Science and medicine constantly progress, so it's entirely possible that someday there will be a safe and effective genetic "cure" for celiac. However not anytime soon and I believe it would only come after these CAR-T procedures have become routine in the treatment of a long list of other diseases. In a world of unlimited funding for scientific research I would definitely fund this proposal. In the world of tight competition for research funding that we live in I would need to know a lot more about their proposal and the greater context of how it fits in with other research before I would give them money at this time (not that anyone is asking me).

      @Heavenly Flower and @lehum, How are you doing?   My favorite book is The Paleo Approach by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.   This book explains the AutoImmune Protocol Diet (AIP diet) which is the diet I follow.  Yes, it is very strict, just meat, veggies and some fruit.  But it really works.  You cut back to just meat and veggies to let your digestive system calms and starts healing.  Then you add back foods slowly looking for intolerance symptoms.  Supplementing with B Complex vitamins, Vitamin D and minerals like Magnesium ensures you're receiving sufficient nutrients needed to heal.  Correcting any vitamin deficits is important in Celiac disease.   Hope you're doing well!
