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!

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
