Oh No! New Envirokidz Cereal Not gluten-free!

There is a new (I think it's new anyway) envirokidz cereal called penguin crunch or puffs or something like that. I was at whole foods today picking out a new cereal (always arduous) and this looked good, so I decided ot give it a try. I didn't notice the gluten-free label usually on those cereals, but I didn't sweat it, b/c a quick scan of the ingredients looked good. I was thisclose to trying a handful when something made me give the label a second read. Corn, Quinoa...sounds good...Kamut...wait a minute...isn't that on the no-no list?!?! Because it's not a grain you encounter often, you might forget...but Kamut contains gluten! I'm soooo glad I scanned that label again! Oh well, my PB panda puffs are still yummy :)

1 of the new ones is gluten-free, I think it's "lemur" something. It's basically PB puffs and cocoa puffs together. Haven't tried it cuz it hasn't gone on sale yet ;)

Whole foods just FINALLY opened up, just 5 miles from my house . . the first one in Richmond, VA . . ugg . .anyways, I saw they had more than twice as many envirokids cereals as my grocery store and smaller hfs - but also noticed that one of them didnt say gluten-free on it. I thought it was pretty lame that WF had that one righ in the center of the display and all the others were gluten-free and that one wasnt. I also believe the potato flour is 30 cents cheaper at my grocery store . . . geesh. Still, NO one carries the super-fine brown rice flour that Annalise Roberts recomends . . . :angry:

That really stinks! I was looking forward to trying those! I love the Leapin Lemur cereal...it was on sale at Giant Eagle here last week. I was going to buy some at WF the other day b/c DS and I both eat it, but it was $4.99 (OUCH!). Stinks b/c all the other Envirokidz stuff was on sale but that one! Stinkers!

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Samanthaeileen1 · Posted

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.

      Just diagnosed today

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      I have been diagnosed with coeliacs disease today after endoscopy, bloods and CT scan. I have also been diagnosed with Mesenteric Panniculitis today. Both of which I believe are autoimmune diseases. I have been told I will need a dexa scan and a repeat CT scan in 6 months. I had not even heard of Mesenteric Panniculitis till today. I don’t know much about it? Has anyone else got both of these.
