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:

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
