Okay, I have been gluten free for about 1 month. Most of the gluten free cereals I have tried I don't like. Dose anyone eat mainstream cereals? I hear fruity/cocoa pebbles are gluten free...I would love some feedback about any gluten free cereals

I'd love to help, but "good" is such a relative term - what I think is really good, you might not like at all. I think if you could tell us what your favorites used to be as well as some new things you've tried and not liked, we'll be better able to make some relevant suggestions.

yes....I do like envirokids cereals...in my opinion they have been the best so far. I used to eat kelloggs special K selections alot, and I really liked raison bran crunch. In this first month after being diagnosed with celiac, I read some people won't eat products if they were made on shared equipment. Any thoughts on that?

Arrowhead Mills Maple Buckwheat flakes are good.

Rice Chex gets my vote to be one of the main stream cereal product to declare "gluten free" by removing the malt flavoring as a previous ingredient.

Both Fruity& Cocoa Pebbles are gluten free.

I've never eaten them, but I don't think Trix are.

I really like Nature's Path Honey'd Cornflakes and Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice with Berries.

Whole Foods also has a cereal by their own label that tastes like Coco Puffs.

Those are my favorites.

I just bought a box of Rice Chex. The thing I noticed about them is that they are enriched with vitamins/minerals.

I've been eating Perky's but they are not enriched and do not provide any extra vitamins/minerals, only protein and fiber.

I haven't tried them yet, but will be tomorrow morning!

I get Nature Path Organic Corn Flakes and Erewhom Crispy Brown Rice (can also make crispy treats)

Recently I have been getting Rice Chex (look at the box to make sure it is not an old one).

Last night I got General Mills Tigger and Pooh Corn Puffs -- doesn't say gluten free but if you look at the ingredients it doesn't have anything gluten related in it (they also have a Mickey one and Dora).

I have been eating the Berry Berry Kix and loving them! I might get Trix one of these day but I was never a big Trix eater. I also love the Winnie the Pooh crunch and the Dora Stars. I always used kids cereals as a snack, I would eat them dry....I missed that a lot going gluten free.

Fruit Pebbles does not travel well dry for me...

Rice Chex is also a good vote for me!

In my usual rotation I have Crispix, Trix (keep an eye on each box ingredients to be safe), gluten-free Rice Chex, and Western Family Cocoa Moos (like cocoa puffs). Western Family also has a corn pop like cereal that doesn't list anything bad in the ingredients, yet below says it contains wheat. I'll have to drop them an email. I was raised on cold cereal in the summer and oatmeal in the winter. Don't want to change too much! Hope this helps.

Rice Chex with a little cinnamon and sugar sprinkled on the top is my favorite.

I don't believe it is gluten free. Here's the ingredients list from the Kellogg's website.

Ingredients

MILLED CORN, RICE, BROWN SUGAR, SALT, MALT FLAVORING, BAKING SODA, ASCORBIC ACID (VITAMIN C), IRON, NIACINAMIDE, TURMERIC COLOR, ZINC OXIDE, PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE (VITAMIN B6), RIBOFLAVIN (VITAMIN B2), THIAMIN HYDROCHLORIDE (VITAMIN B1), VITAMIN A PALMITATE, FOLIC ACID, VITAMIN B12 AND VITAMIN D.

As I understand it, malt flavoring is off limits.

Crispix is not gluten-free. It contains barley malt. To my knowledge. there is no Kelloggs cereal that is gluten-free.

I buy Puffins at Wegmans , this is wheat free, but is processed on equipment that also processes wheat so if you are very sensitive I wouldn't eat it. I prefer the peanut butter as it is kinda like captain crunch (used to be one of my favorite indulgences) but not as sweet

Peanut Butter Puffins are not gluten-free. They contain mainstream oats that are contaminated with wheat in growing/storing/processing.

Open Original Shared Link

Ingredients

Corn Meal, Dehydrated Cane Juice, Natural Peanut Butter (Ground Peanuts, Salt), Oat Flour, Rice Flour, Sea Salt, Natural Vitamin E (Mixed Tocopherols), Baking Soda.

The only Puffins flavor that is made without gluten ingredientsis the Open Original Shared Linkflavor. It is still made on shared lines, though.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

The kellogs website identifies barley malt syrup in the ingredients of crispix (meaning it is not a gluten free product). They admit on the site that there is no kellogs cereal that is truely gluten free.

I haven't been able to find "Chex Cereal" in my grocery stores, but general mills does identify this cereal as truely gluten free, as well as many other products.

This is one of my pet peeves as Kellogs is a Michigan company and I like the idea of buying local products to cut down on transportation costs. And if you research them a bit you will find that Kellogs makes a much better quality product to sell in Europe than they make to sell in the U.S. :angry:

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed...

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
