I'm not sure about anyone else...but I sure do miss cereals like "Great Grains," "Clusters," and other wheat-based nutritious cereals.

But, I found one! :P

Many of you know that I just got my first shipment from Ener-G (I ordered on-line). Anyway, one of the things that I ordered was "Granola" trail mix. I am so happy that I bought this!

Honestly, if you pour milk over it, it tastes VERY similar to one of the grain/wheat cereals made by Post or Kellog's.

Also, it is high fiber, a good source of protein...the only negative is high fat, but it is low sodium. It is gluten-free and dairy-free.

It has dates, rice flour, almonds, coconut, tapioca syrup, walnuts, and almonds...

and boy oh boy is it good! :D

So, if you are like me, and craving your "old favorites" in the "healthy" cereal section, you may want to give this a try.

It is a little expensive, but 1/2 cup at a time is a good serving. So it lasts for a little while.

Hope I've helped someone! -Julie ;)

:( Oh I wish we had that here in Australia. It sounds so good.

I am missing my porrige something chronic. Good old Uncle Toby's Oats. Not sure if you have it in America?

I'm thinking of getting tapioca. :huh: I'm not too sure if I'd be ok with it though. I can't have oats, wheat, barley, corn, or rice.

Does anyone know what tapioca is <_< and whether it is gluten-free??? Maggie

:D morning maggie--to my knowledge, tapioca is not a cereal--i have used tapioca flour but otherwise here in america--tapioca is used as a pudding, and might i add, it taste wonderful, i love tapioca pudding and it is also used as a thickening agent like cornstarch--if its a cereal, its news to me ;), but then i am quick to add that i definitely do not know everything :P and also--nope, never heard of uncle toby's oats---quaker oats here and many store brand names and i cant have oats either---for as long as i can remember oats have bothered me, even before i knew about celiacs ;) deb

I was about to write that I thought it was from casava but had a fearful moment wondering if I'd misremembered, so I looked it up in Open Original Shared Link :rolleyes:

I too am yearning for a good cereal. I miss my frosted mini wheats! On our limited budget, I cannot afford to feed a family of five (with 3 on the gluten-free diet, we keep a gluten-free kitchen) with the expensive versions. At least the others can periodically have some of Kroger brand's corn pops. I can't since some of the newer research may be indicating that soy is also a trigger for the neurological damage seen in some celiacs. The endocrinologist read me the riot act about absolutely no soy. Would you believe it was harder to adjust to that the usual 4 culprits?

:D morning donna---do you know of a website where i could read about the research on soy and neurological damage---i do realize i have to be careful with soy, but am hoping i dont have to give it up all together---geez :angry: it's in everything---and yes--worse then the usual 4 culprits :( soy hides even better :ph34r: --maybe sometimes you could get kellogg's fruity pebbles or cocoa pebbles for all of you, i have never much liked these cereals, but my kids did and they are gluten-free as of now----kroger's christmas krispies used to be gluten-free, but i havent seen any tnis year yet----let me know about the website--thanks--maybe email it too me--i'm not sure i will remember which thread i found this in :rolleyes: deb

Donna, I'm also very interested in this soy/neurological damage correlation. My father had severe Purkinje cell damage when he died two years ago causing his cerebellum to almost completely atrophy. As I and my three kids are all gluten intolerant with this kind of history, this is very important to me.

Hi Donna,

i would like to know more about the soy/neurological damage correlation, too. I still want to win a (one more actually B) , but in a far bigger association) world title, before i get my first kid. And with the nerve problems i have sometimes (you never know, when it hits you), it's impossible to prepare properly. Duhh!!! :blink: Would be cool, if i know what triggers it, so i could avoid it. And no food diary to keep track about what i eat has helped me so far. It's really frustrating... :angry:

I am currently drinking soy milk, because I am not doing well with regular milk, so is this a bad thing. I thought soy was supposed to be so good for us. Is it just bad for celiac people. I'm so new at all of this I don't yet understand much of anything.

;) barb--if you can tolerate soy, then it is fine for you--i cant drink soy milk, cant have tofu, tuna in water, cause it usually contains soy, mayo bothers me---but you may be just fine with it--we are all different--my symptoms with soy--i cant sleep, my hip pain comes back, my tummy rumbles and i tend to get constipated--different from gluten--some tell me that i may just need to limit my soy and just stay away from the soy proteins--i hope :rolleyes: deb

ooohhhh, Donna, frosted mini wheats...also one of my favorites!

I understand about eating on a budget. This is why I only allow myself a few bowls a week of the Granola mix from Ener-G (as a treat for myself when I'm REALLY craving my old favorite nutritious cereals)

soy and neurological damage? :blink: I think I've got enough worries. ;) At this point, if I can digest it, I'm eating it.

This reminds me of research trying to prove a causation between caffeine and seizures. To date, the best research has been able to prove is a correlation in some people with epilepsy to increased caffeine intake and increased seizure frequency. Something important to keep in mind though...correlation does not equal causation. B)

Example of correlation does not equal causation:

The sun went down and I'm sleepy. This happens every night for a month. My sleepiness is correlated with the sun setting (when one happened, so did the other). But does that mean the sun setting CAUSED me to be sleepy? If we charted it, at first glance we may say yes. However, with further research, we would see that the sun sets at 7:00 pm, and most people aren't sleepy at 7:00 pm. If we looked at my schedule, we would see that I've been preparing for a marathon for the last month. With further investigation, researchers would see that my fatigue may more likely be CAUSED by my intense exercise and not the sun setting.

My point? When research shows more Causation than limited correlation between soy and neurological problems, then I'll worry. Until then, I've got enough to keep my mind occupied :blink: (or the piece-of-a-mind that I have remaining...it doesn't take much to "occupy" my mind lately) ;)

Happy holidays everyone!

Much hugs and blessings

-Julie

I'm using Pacific Almond milk substitute with my cereal. It's gluten-free , non dairy, AND Soy free! It tastes great. Also, Vance's makes a milk substitute just like Pacific.

Ener-G granola mix is so good I eat it straight out of the box as a snack. I just ordered a 12 pack and got it today. It is a bit expensive, but so is organic gluten-free cereal.

I haven't found any cereal that tastes good enough to me because all the gluten-free cereal I have with milk, gets soggy INSTANTLY!

Cranberry Sunshine and Nature's Path Corn Flakes (in the bulk bag, at least) and Mesa Sunrise don't get soggy right away in milk. (Gorilla Munch doesn't get soggy very quickly either.)

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis before any gluten sensitivity or Celiac entered my vocabulary. I searched "anti soy" and found soy is not as good a food source as some suggest. It inhibits thyroid function.

Mesa Sunshine is one of my favourites.

The amount of sugar in Gorilla Munch, it is certainly not a cereal, it is confectionery.

On the soya theme, when I knowingly eat or drink soya my being simply says straight to me, "I know this is not good food". It's rather like cardboard I think.

(Must admit my cardboard eating days are quite a long way behind me now :lol: )

I don't know how to avoid the hidden soya that's probably in a lot of things, though.

If I get better than I was, I shall be well content.

If you ever find my grumpy, remind me I said this! :P

I LOVE Mesa Sunrise! That cereal is the BOMB!!!!!

I've gotten some "granola's" from Enjoy life foods that are pretty good without milk as a snacky thing. They are just filled with fiber.

If you want a cereal that stays crunchy to the end get Barbara's Honey Rice Puffins.....I eat them practically every morning with rice milk and I love 'em. They just just a slight almond taste, really good. I have tried lots of others and this the only gluten-free cereal that I like.

You must eat the Puffins pretty quickly, because the last time I had them they got soggy on me. :(

I LOVE the Ener-G Granola/trail mix cereal. It tastes almost exactly like I remember Quaker granola tasting like. I don't even miss the oats! It was a little strange at first, since it is almost all almonds and dates, but I really like it.

I can't find the Mesa Sunrise cereal anywhere. Where do all of you buy it?? I get so nervous buying things online before I have tried them. I have Whole Foods, Trader Joes and supermarkets like Save Mart, Foods Co., Food Maxx, and Albertsons in my area.

God bless,

Mariann

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
