Cereal Anyone?

My 10 year old son was officially diagnosed in Jan. 05. We are still in a stage of shock. He had been having some stomach pain for awhile but nothing major. One day he had some blood in his stool so I made him an appointment. The doctor asked a lot of questions and told me that he wanted to do a couple of screening tests on him. I was scared to death of course. When the tests came back he informed me that he might have Celiac's. I had never heard of it. From what I have read though unless it's already in your family it can take awhile for a doctor to test for it, so I guess in that aspect I was lucky with our doctor. Although I've learned a lot the past couple of months I'm worried that he might still be getting some gluten through things. I am a single mom that works full time, goes to school part time and on a very fixed budget. Can anyone give me some suggestions on some cereals that are gluten-free that I don't have to pay $5 a box for. Also are there any good gluten-free breads that make a good sandwich. I bought the tapicoa bread and he hated that. :( Anything will help this newbie. :D

      @N00dnutt, been there, done that! Cheers!

      @trents You're right, thanks for pointing that out. On @somethinglikeolivia comment regarding potential ingesting or cross contamination; there is a product marketed in Australia as "GluteGuard" which is designed for just this scenario. It is not a defence for and is not recommended for use by full-blown celiac disease but, it helps those with GI. I'll be reading slower in future so I don't skim over the subject matter. Cheers.

      @N00dnutt, as OP explained earlier, she had a gastroscopy done earlier while she had been eating plenty of gluten for months. It was negative despite strong positive antibody scores.

      The best way to determine positively is to undergo a Gastroscope. Your Endocrinologist will assess the condition of your "Villi". These tenticles are what extract the nutrient from what we ingest. The Protein in Gluten is like acid to these tenticles.
