Hi,

I was reading another post and I think it said Tix and dora Stars were some products that were used. This is an area that I have not found anything yet. My son loved co co puffs. He also liked fruit loops so if the trix are ok then maybe I will try them because they are simular to fruit loops.

I anyone can tell me cereals that you have already found that are gluten free I would appreciate it. My son obvesly loves the sugery sweep stuff.

Thanks

Julie

I like Nature's Path's "Mesa Sunrise" flakes -- they're amaranth and a few other gluten-free things. Not sugary in the least however -- I know that Envirokidz makes some gluten-free sugary-type things.

Dora Stars, Fruity Pebbles, as far as mainstream.

PErky O's weren't too bad.

I really want to try GLutino cereals, but haven't yet.

My kids like the Envirokids Amazon Frosted Flakes and Gorilla Munch. Although, Fruity Pebbles is their current favorite right now.

We use Cocoa Pebbles and Trix daily! Read ingredients, and watch out for Malt and oat flour. those are common.

My kids and I are major cereal eaters.

We always have:

Fruity Pebbles, Berry Pebbles

Cocoa Pebbles

Trix

Envirokids Gorilla Munch (tastes like Kix)

Dora the Explorer Cinnamon Stars and Disney's Little Einsteins cereal are also gluten-free.

I've heard that Whole Foods has a new gluten-free cereal called Cocoa Comets, that's supposed to be like Cocoa Puffs. I haven't been able to find it at my Whole Foods yet- still waiting. :D

I'm always checking new "limited time" cereals, too. GM put out a Spider Man cereal for a little while that was gluten-free.

I wish someone would put out a gluten-free version of Lucky Charms :(

while I think that getting away from cereal as the only breakfast meal is a good idea, I have it on occasion still. generally perkys, nature's path mesa sunrise, and health valley corn or rice crunch-ems. (the later mostly as a snack)

If you have a Safeway in your area, they have their own brand like Cocoa Puffs. Comes in a bag. I think it's called Cocoa Astro Stars or something like that.

Also, if you have a Wegmans, they have a Organic Strawberry Corn Flakes cereal, under their name brand. It is marked gluten free on the box and I have had it, very good. I eat it dry. :)

I used to love fruit loops too. I think that the Disney Little Einsteins cereal tastes just like fruit loops. I like them better than the fruity pebbles because they stay crunchier in milk. There's also a cereal you can find in health food stores by Health Valley i think. Called Rice Crunchems. They are pretty similar to rice chex, just without the malt flavoring.

Amanda--

Do you find this in the Nature's Marketplace or the regular cereal aisle?

Actually 3 different places, the gluten free aisle itself, the Nature's Marketplace cereal aisle, and the regular cereal aisle.

Which is nice.

It is very good. I sent them comments on it and got a very nice response back saying how they are very into Celiac Disease and are glad to be able to accomodate us.

I always feel welcomed there.

Pebbles are safe for celiacs. Trix varies depending on the formula, they had been switching back and forth a few months back.

We eat Envirokidz Gorilla Munch, Panda Puffs, Koala Crisp (kind of like Cocoa Krispies and less sweet than Cocoa Pebbles), Amazon Flakes and other Nature's Path cereals like their version of Rice Krispies, puffed corn, etc. (Nature's Path & Envirokidz are the same company.) We also like Trader Joe's gluten free granola.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
