Gf Cereals

hi can anyone advise me what gluten-free cereals you can buy from supermarket please thankyou

[KaitiUSA]

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.

thankyou so much you have been a big help in a number of my queries thanks again good to know i'm gonna be prepared

[tarnalberry]

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

hi , im six weeks new at this so hope someone can tell me ? I have been eating a walmart brand 'ALFS, BROWN RICE PUFFS" IT JUST SAYS BROWN RICE FOR INGRED. my body is in such bad shape and have so many allergies even with a food log im having trouble finding what is or isnt helping, just keep losing weight , i have been told i am probably celiac sprue because my blood came back 99% positive , but as yet havent had the biopsy. I was so sick all winter with flu like symtoms , and everything i ate or tryed to eat made me sick. I am having good and bad days , at least the awful migraines are gone and the awful pain and sleepless nights are mostly gone .

this site has been so helpful and before finding it i was lost. thank you for all the information and help this format offers

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.

[KaitiUSA]

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.
