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!

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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!
