Question About Cereals

Does anyone know if the regular cereals like Kix, Rice chex, Frosted Flakes, Rice Krispies,etc, are ok? I know that most of them contain malt, malt flavoring, or either malted barley. I'd love some help with this if anyone can answer this. Also, Captain Crunch and acouple of others have corn meal and oats in them, are they safe?

Absolutely no to Rice Krispies and Frosted Flakes. I wouldn't get anything with oats.....CC. Rice Chex is safe if it says Gluten Free on the box. Don't know about Kix. Dora Stars are supposed to be safe.

Kix are out . . . they have oats (oat bran, I think)

Mainstream cereals:

Trix (read the package to make sure, they label their gluten sources)

Fruity Pebbles

Coco Pebbles

Dora Stars

Tigger & Pooh

Rice Chex (this is fairly new, it will say gluten-free on the box somewhere, they've changed their labeling again)

Anything with malt/malt flavoring etc is out. Corn meal is OK but oats in a mainstream product would be from a cross contaminated source.

Specialty cereals

Amazon Flakes (similar to Frosted Flakes)

Erewhon Crispy Rice (similar to Rice Krispies . . . use for your "Rice Krispy Treats")

Gorilla Munch (similar to Kix)

Rice Chex is our favorite (with a little cinnamon and sugar)

For special occasions, we like Fruity Pebbles and Dora Stars.

The gluten-free EnviroKids cereals are pretty good too but are pricey.

You can get gluten-free corn flakes. I can't remember the brand now because I don't have any. I have gotten them at the health food store and also Big Lots. I really stocked up at Big Lots!

Fruity pebbles are nice and safe. That's what we eat for breakfast a lot!

      Hi everyone, I have celiac disease and I’m asymptomatic, which makes things more stressful because I don’t know when I’ve been glutened. That’s why I try to be really careful with cross-contamination. For almost a year, I’ve been having yellow/orange floating stools consistently. I’m not sure if it’s related to gluten exposure or something else going on. I’ve been trying to identify any possible mistakes in my routine. Today, I made myself some gluten-free bread with cheese. Normally, I’m very careful: I use one hand to handle the cheese packaging (which could be contaminated, since it’s from the supermarket and was probably sitting on a checkout belt that had flour residue), and the other hand to touch my gluten-free bread and plate. But today I accidentally touched the bread with the same hand I used to grab the cheese pack from the fridge. The fridge handle might also have traces of gluten since I live in a shared household where gluten is used. I’m worried this mistake could have contaminated my bread. There were no visible crumbs or flour, but I know even trace amounts can be a problem. Has anyone had similar experiences or symptoms from this level of contact? Could this kind of exposure be enough to trigger symptoms or cause intestinal damage? Thanks for reading.

      So eight days in a row of gluten on top of gluten on top of gluten, I just had to resort to the EpiPen. I wish I could post a picture because you wouldn’t believe how enormous my gut is! It makes my head look like a pinhead.Ahhhgggsahhhhh!!!! I have discovered that I have to read the ingredients when I use a product up that I’ve been able to use without getting a reaction, because they can change the ingredients and bam my toothpaste now has gluten!!! my doctor told me gluten free means it has 20 ppm which someone with a severe a celiac as I’ve got that thing there kills me. I try to find certified gluten-free in everything. I can’t eat any oats unless it’s Bob’s red mill certified gluten-free. Good luck everybody this autoimmune disease is wicked wicked

      I have been using a little bit of Lubriderm when I wash my hands because it’s the lotion offered at a place I frequent once a week. Assuming it was gluten-free I bought a bottle. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting gluten EVERY night. I use a little of the lotion in the morning on my neck, with no reaction, but at night, I use it on my arms and legs and face and get gluten gut pretty bad. After eight nights of having to have diphenhydramine injections for severe gluten, I googled “is Lubriderm gluten-free” and it led me to this forum. I am going to go back to olive oil as I have been gut sick sooooooo bad with a huge gut and pain eight days in a row now. Sick of feeling sick.

      These look great!  I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"
