I was told at the gluten free expo i went to today that Lite bix is a gluten free form of weet bix. I am worried because the main ingrediant is Whole grain wheat. Is this ok?? :unsure:

I did get into the website for this product, but I could not get an ingredients list to come up. If it says "whole grain" and it lists wheat as the grain, it is NOT SAFE!!! As long as a product says "wheat" anywhere in the ingredients, then you shouldn't trust it. From what I read, it's lower in sugar, that's all.

Thanks for the reply. That's what I thought....still getting used to all of this. Is there a gluten free alternative to weet bix? that was my sons favorite breakfast and hes just not taking to any of the others as well?

Hi there,

I'm actually not sure what Wheat Bix is, so I'm not going to be able to answer your question. But my 7yo son loves Peanut Butter Panda Puffs by Envirokids and Rice Chex. For the Rice Chex, we put blueberries in it. I hope you can find something that will work!

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!

      Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. Many of them are found close together on the chromosomes.

      Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point).  So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another possible explanation for some of the issues that I'm dealing with.

      Newbie with Celiac / NCGS symptoms

      I would pressure the lab to do the IgA control test for free so that you won't write a poor review about their testing services. You could get this done at any time, whether or not you are gluten-free, however, the celiac disease Tissue Transglutaminase tTG-IgA test must be done after you've been eating lots of gluten for around 6 weeks. This way you could salvage the results of your tTG-IgA test, as long as you were eating lots of gluten beforehand.
