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

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
