Is whole grain corn safe to eat? Also whole grain oats? I just bought this cereal called My Friends Tigger and Pooh corn puffs and I wasn't sure. It doesn't have whole grain oats in it but Kix does and I wasn't sure. Do You know of cereals that ARE safe to eat? So far I've found trix, fruity pebbles, cocoa pebbles, rice chex- new one,dora the exploreer cinnamon stars and that's 'bout it. Also other breakfast foods in general like we found these tapioca rice English muffins and their really good but what about pancakes? THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE IF YOU CAN ANSWER EVEN ONE QUESTION!

If you list the ingredients of the Corn Puffs cereal, I'm sure someone would be happy to help interpret the ingredients.

Oats are only safe if they are oats that are specially packaged and say that they are gluten free. There are a only a few companies that sell gluten free oats.

I'm not sure about the Tigger cereal, although as Happygirl said- we can help if you list the ingredients. :)

I do buy Trix, Rice Chex, and Pebbles cereals, too. There's a couple others I like, but they're usually found in health food stores or Whole Foods- not mainstream grocery stores.

- Envirokids Gorilla Munch. This has a similar taste to Kix (Kix is NOT safe,) although the little "puffs" are a lot harder/crunchier.

- Envirokids Peanut Butter something or other. Basically a peanut butter Gorilla Munch. A little sweet/rich for me, but the kids like it dry as a snack.

- Erehwon Brown Rice Cereal With Berries. One of my favorites. It's a bit like Rice Crispies (also NOT safe) with berries.

Perky-Os. My kids LOVE the apple cinnamon variety.

My kids and I are big cereal eaters. General Mills has said that they'll be adjusting more of their cereals to be gluten-free, and that Rice Chex was only the first. :D

I get that cereal off and on and haven't really had a problem with it. Since it is not gluten free (labeled) you may come across a box where it may have been CC. I have had that happen where I would feel fine with one box but then not with another one. If you end up liking the ceral I would make sure each time you buy the box to look at the ingredients. I have not seen this one change but have read on here about other cereals changing ingredients sometimes.

I am not really a cereal person so I make pancakes and freeze them instead.

Edit: Here is the Whole Grains Council website shows a chart of gluten grains and gluten free ones...

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
