Barbara's Bakery Puffins Cereal?

This cereal is wheat-free (and delicious!) and I've been eating it for the past few months. One of the flavors is rice flour only, but the others are made from a combination of corn and oat flours. I've never gotten sick from them...should I be worried?

Oats are not gluten free. You can buy gluten free oats but the oats in the Puffin cereal are not gluten free.

The cereal needs to say gluten free...not just wheat free. Hope that helps.

I would avoid the puffins cereal that has oat flour...I have been eating it since I have was diagnosed w/ Celiac in early November, and have not felt any improvement in my sensitive stomach.....Just noticed that the Puffins peanut butter flavored cereal was not gluten free, just wheat free....I'm hoping that is why my small intestine has not repaired itself yet......

What about regular milk chocolate candy that has no cookie pieces of any kind in it? That ok? Also, I don't believe I'm lactose intolerant, but I read where if you have Celiac you should avoid dairy while you are trying to heal? Is that true?

Thanks for the help!

If you're just getting started and trying to heal, I'd stick to things that are clearly labeled gluten-free and not take any chances. I'm not sure what to tell you about dairy, as I've been avoiding dairy for longer than I've been avoiding gluten.

      "My GI doctor ruled out gluten celiac entirely because I didn't have skin rash." Are you serious? The overwhelming majority of people with confirmed celiac disease do not have the rash. It's called dermatitis herpetiformis. It is found in only about 10-15% of those with celiac disease: https://www.celiac.ca/gluten-related-disorders/dermatitis-herpetiformis/ If your GI doc is operating on that piece of misinformation, I would start looking for a new GI doc because I wouldn't trust him/her in general.

      Thank you so much for your informative reply. My GI doctor ruled out gluten celiac entirely because I didn't have skin rash. I had a histamine response to wheat and milk by scratch test by an allergist. I'm not always symptomatic but the older I get the worse it gets. I've found through trial and error that I can react to all grains. Buckwheat and corn included. I tolerate some rice but I wouldn't want to eat it every day. Potato is pretty good for me but I can't eat it every day either. I compromise with squash. I tolerate it well. The Best I feel is while fasting. When I'm in pain and discomfort it's easy to fast even long term, it helps. The problem I'm having is I'm great with my diet for 3-6 months...

      This isn't the first potential celiac disease treatment in the pipeline that failed. There have been others...

      First of all, being able to return to foods that you have developed a sensitivity to in connection with celiac disease is not a given. You may or may not be able to do this with time. But the ability to do so seems to be connected with the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel which often takes 2-3 years in adults after attaining to consistently truly gluten free diet. But you will just have to test the waters. Experimentation with those foods is the only way. Realize also there are thresholds of tolerance. You may be able to consume those foods without issue but not as often and in lesser amounts than in your pre celiac days. So, start small and go slow.
