Krispies Or Beans?

My 5 year old boy who gas been gluten and dairy free since February with massive improvements in his behaviour has restarted being aggressive/tantrums/unreasonableness over the past week both at home and at school. He was back to being lovely today. The only thing that I can think of that could have changed (apart from end of term madness at school) is that he had cereal (ricekrispies and gluten/dairy free chocolate stars)in the morning on many occasions instead of his usual hot food (eggs/sausages/bacon/salmon/beans).

Does this affect any other children?

most rice crispies (like kellogs and store brands), unless specifically marked otherwise, have barley malt and are not gluten free.

I thought that Rice Krispies were gluten free. I thought that maybe we were doing something strange to his metabolism not that I was giving him gluten. Is this alone really enough to cause symptoms? As he doesn't have any gastro symptoms it is really difficult to work it all out - behaviour is so subjective.

Rice Krispies and Corn Flakes both have barley as far as i know - Kellogs does not have any gluten-free products.

Triple ditto (or whatever!) on the cereal. Rice Krispies are without a doubt not gluten free.

As always, check the ingredient list. Kellog's Rice Crispies contains barley malt - that means they are not gluten free.

Yes, getting a little bit of gluten can cause these sorts of things, depending on the person.

Yes, an overload of carbs can cause a hypoglycemic crash which can also lead to behavior issues (because you feel crappy).

So it could just be the gluten or it could be both.

The Erewhon brand is gluten free and comes plain, with berries and as a cocoa crispie. They are really good and also make good rice krispie treat bars. Open Original Shared Link free.com/index.cfm/manufacturer/Erewhon/958043-___-Crispy-Brown-Rice-Cereal-with-Berries.html

General Mills Corn Chex and Rice Chex are gluten free and clearly marked in large letters right on the front. Nice is yo don't have access to the larger markets with the specialty areas.

Yes, but just a note of caution. The Chex cereals and the Erewhon cereals are gluten free but with super sensitive people they react to them. I am one of those people :(:angry:

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By trents · Posted

      TTG would refer to a blood antibody test. Not valid if you are already eating gluten free or mostly so. DQH would refer to a genetic test to see if you possess either or both of the two genes that have been connected most strongly to developing active celiac disease. The genetic test is more of a rule out measure than a diagnostic test as about 40% of the general population have one or both of those genes but only about 1% of the general population develops active celiac disease. If you don't have the genes but gluten causes you issues then the conclusion is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. So, the genetic testing helps with a differential diagnosis. I don't know about the 2P. 2 Pairs of genes?

      gluten-free Canada finds

      Tell him to get me a case...just kidding! I wonder why they are not labelled gluten-free here in the USA? They don't have gluten ingredients.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Pamela Kay · Posted

      Glad this helped. There are lots of alternative breads out there, so someone has likely made some sort of paleo bread with no grain. And if you bake, experiment with some of the alternative flours to see what you can come up with. If you commit to the gluten-free diet 100%, you may want to do a bit of research on some of the tricker aspects of getting gluten out of your diet, such as cross contamination in the home kitchen (pots and pans, cutting boards, toaster, airborne flour). Don't feel you have to do everything at once, or let this overwhelm you. I've always said that going gluten free is a process, not a moment. The reason I mention this is that, if you think you are gluten-free, but still having symptoms, you may realize that even minute amounts of gluten cause a reaction for a while. Let me know if you have any questions.  Pam

      The doctor was correct--if you are gluten-free the blood panel for celiac disease will not work, you would need to go on gluten challenge in order to be tested. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      A question - eggs & dairy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It could, but it could also mean that gluten still not being fully eliminated. It's important to get a celiac disease blood panel to help figure this out. For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions that can cause damaged villi:
