If you are looking for good gluten-free cereals, try the EnviroKids choices. They're good for grown-ups too! I like the Gorilla Munch, which hold up well in milk as all of this brand do, the Panda puffs are peanut buttery, and my new favorite is Koala Krisp that are chocolatey. Some of the major grocery stores actually stock these (Genuardi's and Shop Rite in my area--DE) or you can buy them from Trader Joes stores and online from MissRobens. This manufacturer also makes cereal bars that are tasty too. :rolleyes:

I see that the Ener-G granola has coconut in it. How strong is the coconut taste? I seem to be the only person in the world that dislikes coconut, but I really hate it!

Thanks,

Elaine

Elainegl--You're not alone! I hate coconut, too! I eat the Enjoy Life granola, which has coconut as an ingredient and that made me wary, but I can say that I don't taste the coconut at all. Hopefully the Ener-G granola is the same way.

The Enjoy Life cinnamon crunch granola is nothing like the Ener-G granola. There might be other flavors of Enjoy Life granola, but the cinnamon crunch is the only one I've found. It tastes very strongly of cinnamon, and the Ener-G tastes more like almonds (which is the main ingredient). It does have a slight coconut taste, so if you don't like coconut then it might not be worth trying, unless you have someone else who will eat it. I personally like coconut, so I love the taste.

God bless,

I eat the Very Berry Enjoy Life granola and have no problem with the coconut taste, so maybe the berry taste overwhelms the coconut taste because I won't normally touch coconut with a ten foot pole!

Wow...you guys have been active here and I did not even realize it. Sorry it took me so long to get back to this link.

I will check with the enocrinologist when I go back. He did not give me a specific web site but indicated that he had been talking with some of the researchers at a couple of universities and that is where he heard about the link with soy and neuro symptoms in celiacs. If you don't have the neurological symptoms, apparently it is no big deal to eat soy. If, however, you are like me and have significant neurological damage, the soy is a bad thing. Like I said, I'll follow up with him when I see him again. He tends to be on the cutting edge with the research unlike most physicians.

I like the Koala Krunch, but it's a little too junky for an everyday cereal - not to mention too expensive. Barbara's Rice Puffins are fantastic, but you hardly ever see them in the regular supermarkets. You can find the Envirokids cereals at A&P, Shaw's and other supermarkets, along with Barbara's regular Puffins which contain oats.

I miss oatmeal a lot. I've been having grits as an oatmeal substitute, and I like them but it really isn't the same thing. GRRR!

So Donna,

My son who has some neurological issues (might be gluten related), I should try to keep him soy free?? I am allergic to soy, and so I limit it anyhow, but would that also include the soy oils? I'm not allergic to those and would those also cause problems. I have some neuological issues from gluten as well as my son... Please post any information you get from your doctor. In the mean time I think I'll do some research of my own online. ;)

God bless,

Mariann

I just found the Very Berry here and am hoping to use it for hiking/trail/snack food. I haven't even had a chance to try it but at this point, with hiking season (for our family) almost here, I need something fast.

      Celiac support is hard to find

      Hi Cristiana! It's so nice to meet you! Thank you for the kind reply I am glad I live in a time where you can connect with others through the Internet. That is a mercy I am grateful for.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Fruits & Veggies

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
