At a regular grocery store Cocoa and Fruity Pebbles by Post are gluten free.

At health food stores that have a brand called Envirokidz and they have good cereals. The ones that are gluten free clearly say it on the front of the box.

Entirely depends on your supermarket. :-) The ones I've gotten at various places:

Environkids Gorilla Munch (a bit on the sweet side for me, though)

Health Valley Rice Crunch 'Ems and Corn Crunch 'Ems

Pacific Valley's Nutty Rice (NOT the corn variety)

Erewon's Crispy Rice

Nature's Path Mesa Sunrice and Cornflakes

And, of course, hot cereals like Bob's Red Mills Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal, or their rice, soy, buckwheat, or millet grits, or Ancient Harvest's Qunioa Flakes.

currently Malt O'Meal has several cereals that are Gluten free according to the letter I received from them. Their version of Fruity Pebbles, Cocoa Pebbles, Puffed Rice, and Corn Pops... but read the labels because they might be changing some of the ingredients formulations. The rep I spoke with on the phone said that if enough people complain about the possible ingredients change that would make these no longer gluten-free, then the higher ups just might reconsider. Also by contacting the company directly they sent me quite a few coupons to use to buy Malt O'Meal cereals. I got a bunch of them on sale at WalMart's SuperCenter and am well stocked in cereal for a while.

I also really like Nature's Path's Mesa Sunrise cereal, it's really yummy, esp. with honey and milk!

I'm a big fan of Kashi Cranberry Sunrise(or is it Sunshine), wow, I can't think! It's one of those, but it's pretty good. Wegmans has a cereal in their health food section, its corn flakes with strawberries and it tastes a lot like special K with berries, which I miss very much! If there was one thing I wish I could eat again it would be cereal. Normal cereal! Good luck

Erewhon has a gluten-free Crispy Rice cereal with strawberries in it. YUM

I just bought Barbara's Bakery Puffins Peanut Butter from my local Jewel grocery store. I didn't have a reaction, but it's only wheat free, not gluten free, apparently because it contains oat flour in the ingredients. It was definitely yummy if your tummy can handle it! If not, Barbara's also makes other cereals that are gluten-free.

Well oats in the U.S are contaminated with wheat so they aren't safe.

It has been shown some celiacs can handle oats and some can't. There is a protein called avenin that some react to...just ones in the U.S are contaminated so they aren't safe anyway.

thank you . I did check out all the cereals that say gluten free like barbara's and environkids, my problem is one of my allergies is iodine, crazy i know but because of it cant have shellfish, iodine salt or sea salt as well as some of the dye tests hospitals do that contain iodine in their dye. that is how we found i had an allergy to it . so right now the only cereal I have been eating is the cream of rice and i tryed the alf puffed rice , also the arrow heads puffed rice but because still so new dont know how safe these store brand puff rices are . I call when I can but they dont have a number and after reading about cross catamination on arrowheads items I prefer to leave them alone. so any help would be appreciated, a number maybe some one has for them or a way i can contact them . rosie

oh forgot to mention the barbs and kids both have the seasalt , as do many of the organic or gluten free products, seems they add it alot to these items ;)

Barbara's Puffins Honey Rice Cereal is so good. They stay crunchy until the last bite and have just a slight hint of almond to them. Not all the Puffins are gluten-free, but this particular one is. I eat them often and hope that I won't tire of them...haven't so far. I think Bob's hot cereal is awful and miss oatmeal sooooooo much. I haven't tried grits yet, have some on the shelf to try.

Does anybody know why Cocoa pebbles and Fruity pebbles are not on either the CSA product listing or the Delphi listing? There seems to be a number of folks with celiac disease who are using these products.

Guest barbara3675

My health food store sold me organic rolled oats that are produced in a facility that does nothing but those oats and I eat them occasionally, not every day. I was missing oatmeal so much. I don't have a problem after eating them and they taste so good. I wanted to get as many whole grains in as possible and this is one way to do that. My Honey Rice Puffins are also whole grain and I still love them, too. Not all Puffins are gluten-free, though, so you have to watch the labeling.

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      @SamAlvi, It's common with anemia to have a lower tTg IgA antibodies than DGP IgG ones, but your high DGP IgG scores still point to Celiac disease.   Since a gluten challenge would pose further health damage, you may want to ask for a DNA test to see if you have any of the commonly known genes for Celiac disease.  Though having the genes for Celiac is not diagnostic in and of itself, taken with the antibody tests, the anemia and your reaction to gluten, it may be a confirmation you have Celiac disease.   Do discuss Gastrointestinal Beriberi with your doctors.  In Celiac disease, Gastrointestinal Beriberi is frequently overlooked by doctors.  The digestive system can be affected by localized Thiamine deficiency which causes symptoms consistent with yours.  Correction of nutritional deficiencies quickly is beneficial.  Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine, helps improve intestinal health.  All eight B vitamins, including Thiamine (Benfotiamine), should be supplemented because they all work together.   The B vitamins are needed in addition to iron to correct anemia.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Currently, there are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out and we do have testing for celiac disease. There are two primary test modalities for diagnosing celiac disease. One involves checking for antibodies in the blood. For the person with celiac disease, when gluten is ingested, it produces an autoimmune response in the lining of the small bowel which generates specific kinds of antibodies. Some people are IGA deficient and such that the IGA antibody tests done for celiac disease will have skewed results and cannot be trusted. In that case, there are IGG tests that can be ordered though, they aren't quite as specific for celiac disease as the IGA tests. But the possibility of IGA deficiency is why a "total IGA" test should always be ordered along with the TTG-IGA. The other modality is an endoscopy (scoping of the upper GI track) with a biopsy of the small bowel lining. The aforementioned autoimmune response produces inflammation in the small bowel lining which, over time, damages the structure of the lining. The biopsy is sent to a lab and microscopically analyzed for signs of this damage. If the damage is severe enough, it can often be spotted during the scoping itself. The endoscopy/biopsy is used as confirmation when the antibody results are positive, since there is a small chance that elevated antibody test scores can be caused by things other than celiac disease, particularly when the antibody test numbers are not particularly high. If the antibody test numbers are 10x normal or higher, physicians will sometimes declare an official diagnosis of celiac disease without an endoscopy/biopsy, particularly in the U.K. Some practitioners use stool tests to detect celiac disease but this modality is not widely recognized in the medical community as valid. Both celiac testing modalities outlined above require that you have been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months ahead of time. Many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even reducing their gluten intake prior to testing. By doing so, they invalidate the testing because antibodies stop being produced, disappear from the blood and the lining of the small bowel begins to heal. So, then they are stuck in no man's land, wondering if they have celiac disease or NCGS. To resume gluten consumption, i.e., to undertake a "gluten challenge" is out of the question because their reaction to gluten is so strong that it would endanger their health. The lining of the small bowel is the place where all of the nutrition in the food we consume is absorbed. This lining is made up of billions of microscopically tiny fingerlike projections that create a tremendous nutrient absorption surface area. The inflammation caused by celiac disease wears down these fingers and greatly reduces the surface area needed for nutrient absorption. Thus, people with celiac disease often develop iron deficiency anemia and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiencies. It is likely that many more people who have issues with gluten suffer from NCGS than from celiac disease. We actually know much more about the mechanism of celiac disease than we do about NCGS but some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease.

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.
