I found a brand at my local grocery store called Puffins. They have cereals and bars and a few other things. They say wheat free, but I don't know if they are gluten free as well. Does anyone here eat that brand? They look really good. I did notice in the ingredients list that it has oat flour. Is oat flour a no-no for celiacs? I've read so much concerning oats and things with oats and whether or not its okay for celiacs to eat that its all jumbled in my brain now. Any thoughts from anyone? I need help! :D

I wouldn't eat them because of the oats.

I am one of the people completely against oats. In the US contamination of wheat is with the oats so those are definitely a no no. There is also a protein in oats called avenin that some celiacs may react to.

I would stay away from them..when something says wheat free then read over the label very carefully because most likely it will have rye,barley, or oats

Please let me back one of the former people up when I say that Barbara's Honey Rice Puffins IS gluten free....I am eating a bowel of them now and eat them for breakfast nearly every morning. I searched high and low for a cereal before finding them. The are so good, stay cruchy in your bowl until the last bite, kind of have an slight almond flavor. I eat them with rice milk as I have an intolerance to cow's milk/can eat it if it is highly processed, but not just poured or I don't eat cow's milk ice cream either. Some of the other Barbara's cereals DO have gluten, but the HOney Rice Puffins do not. Give them a try.

I, personally, would not eat anything with oat flour in it. Yes, there is a debate ~ some do, some don't. I would not. Sorry!!! :(

I completely agree. But I do like the Puffins Honey Rice cearal (which does not have oats in it, and is labled Gluten Free)!

REMEBER WHEAT FREE DOES NOT MEAN GLUTEN FREE

I have to hammer this in with my family constantly. :(

I know what you mean about the family. My wife & sister both bought me those bars on separate occassions.

The Honey Rice puffins are very good. I even find myself snacking on them out of the box.

Honey Rice Puffins are gluten free and really good, I buy them for my daughter and eat them myself. The Puffins cereal say wheat free on the front of the box but that doesn't mean gluten free, we learned this the painful way. Look on the side panel of the box under "Dietary Features" and it will list whether it is gluten free. We've only tried the cereals. Hope you like them! JP

The honey rice Puffins are great. You can get them (here in the south florida) at any Publix store that has a decent size "GreenWise" (organic/specialty food) section. Whole Foods carries them, obviously, and Publix Corp. is starting a new kind of store, to compete with Whole Foods, called GreenWise. We don't have a Whole Foods nearby so we're anxiously awaiting the arrival of the GreenWise store in Palm City, FL.

Anyway, here's the ingredient list: Wholegrain Brown Rice Flour, Dehydrated Cane Juice, Rice Bran, Honey, Expeller Pressed High Oleic Oil (Canola and/or Sunflower), Sea Salt, Natural Flavor, Natural Vitamin E (Mixed Tocopherols).

"Made in a peanut-free facility. Made on equipment that manufactures products containing dairy, soy, and tree nuts."

"Dietary Features - 100% Natural, Low Fat, No Hydrogenated oils or Trans Fats, No Cholesterol, Dairy Free, Vegetarian, Wheat Free, Gluten Free, No Artificial Flavors, Colors or Preservatives, Kosher"

...oh, and PS - save the crumbled bits at the bottom of the bag, they're really good on ice cream!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
