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:

      This older article makes me wonder about the GFCO and its protocols:

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By Aphrodite · Posted

      I’ve been using almond flour from nuts.com for over 10 years. I have dermatitis herpetiformis all over. The rash started about two months ago. I finally eliminated the almond flour, labeled certified gluten free, two weeks ago, and I think the dermatitis herpetiformis is finally healing. I am so bummed.

      Gluten free Areds 2 Vitamins

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you need that designation you'll likely need to switch to a different brand. It's unfortunate that they don't add it to their label and test for gluten.

      Thank you for the reply  , I have tried the Baush & Lomb brand and did have a gluten reaction.  O spoke to the mfg and they state the same as many other mfgs.   - NO Gluten intentionally added to product , but they have no control ( they choose not to) over their suppliers of various ingredients  I am really trying to only take vitamins  that clearly state gluten free

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      DiGiorno reformulated and have not been using wheat starch for a couple of years now, so this should not be an issue: https://www.goodnes.com/digiorno/products/digiorno-gluten-free-frozen-pepperoni-pizza/ It does contain other ingredients that may be causing you IBS-like issues, for example guar gum.  Many gluten-free foods and baking mixes contain xanthan gum or other gums like guar gum. Although they are both gluten-free, they may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:
