Hey all! I'm a newbie to Gluten free. In a book I was reading (Gluten Free Living For Dummies) it said to take your favorite glutenated foods, and make substitutions accordingly; So .... I was wondering what are some of your favorite gluten free cereals and snacks (both naturally gluten-free & specialty)

Thanks, Everyone :)

Oooh, I maybe can help here! ;)

Do you like oatmeal? Many say that oats should also be cut out of a gluten-free diet, but you could try Bob's Red Mill Oatmeal.

Or if you want a rice substiture, I've tried Rice & Shine (with a little brown sugar......yum!) and Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal (Bob's Red Mill). Both are excellent.

Cold cereals......the only thing I can vouch for would be Rice Chex - just make sure they actually say Gluten Free on the box.

I know others will have awesome suggestions for you!

top gluten-free snack .. . corn chips and hummus! I also like to eat pecans out of the bag.

cereal - my son really missed the cereal w used to get - a generic called oats-n-more, which is one of those flakes and nuggets cereals. We recreated it by combining gluten-free corn flakes (I cant remember the name, but they say gluten-free on the front, and my supermarket had them in the natural cereal section in a box, and my hfs has them in big bags, cheap), plus enjoy life very berry crunch granola (he has some other allergies and this was the best for him) and almonds on top. I sometimes sprinkled extra sugar on top, too.

Since we have so very many food issues, its harder for us . .. hopefully other people have other good ideas.

There are several things I would eat even if I didn't have to be gluten free.

1. Granola by Bakery on Main. I love the stuff, I could eat this and often do, everyday. I order it in bulk from amazon.

2. Pretzels by Ener-G, esp. the sesame ones. I like these better that regular pretzels. They are lighter and have a nice crispness to them.

3. Pamela's chocolate cake. I make cupcakes and muffins. Love them, this is how I get my chocolate fix.

4. Mary's gone crackers. I like the original and pepper flavors the best.

5 Erewhon cereal - crispy brown rice and berries.

6. Kinnikinnick chocolate covered donuts. Now I have to admit I would probably go for the real thing here, if I could. But since i can't, I find these to be very good.

7. Food tek microwave chocolate cake and brownies. Ready in 1 minute and only have to add water. They are very good and so convenient. I keep these at home and work, and carry them with me when I travel.

My husband and son regularly eat up the above items, even though they have gluten alternatives available.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      You’re raising a very real and very well-documented problem, and you’re absolutely right to be frustrated. Medication labeling is a major blind spot for people with celiac disease, because unlike food, drug manufacturers are not required to clearly disclose the source of binders, fillers, or excipients—even when they may be derived from wheat. That puts ...

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies c...

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
