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:

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
