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.

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely possible you are dealing with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS).  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.   Your situation is a classic presentation: a negative celiac panel but a clear, recurring pattern of symptoms triggered by gluten. The symptoms you listed—particularly the extreme fatigue, bloating, neurological-psychiatric symptoms like depression and anxiety, and even the skin manifestations like facial flushing—are all well-documented in research on NCGS. It's important to know that you are not alone in experiencing this specific combination of physical and emotional reactions. The only way to know for sure is to commit to a strict, 100% gluten-free diet under the guidance of a doctor or dietitian for a period of several weeks to see if your symptoms significantly improve. It is also crucial to rule out other potential causes, so discussing these symptoms with a gastroenterologist is a very important next step.
