I have a question. I keep seeing Malt o Meal as a cereal people here are eating...as well as Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles. I'm probably brainwashed from an experience years ago, but I always thought those were gluten full. Did something change? Or did I read the boxes incorrectly 4 years ago? Malt= gluten, right? I don't want to take a trip to the store today just to find this out...I've got too much laundry to do today.

The two Pebbles cereals are definitely gluten-free, although some people avoid them because they're made in a facility with a whole pile of cereals with gluten. As far as I know they've always been gluten-free.

Malt O Meal has or used to have some cereals that are or used to be gluten-free. The "malt" in the name doesn't mean all of them have it.

Thanks Richard,

I used to buy my son Corn Pops, but they changed the ingredients to include wheat. My kid would flip if he could have Fruity Pebbles. I just may have to make a run to the store today.

We have both Fuirty Pebbles and Coco Pebbles in my house :)

But the Malt-o-meal cearls are apperantly adding gluten to thier cearls either now, or soon. Theres a therad on this message board about it, but I dont have the link handy.

I eat the Fruity and Cocoa pebbles by Post alot and yes they are definitely gluten free.

I used to eat some cereals by Malt-O-Meal but they were changing their ingredients so I quit eating them so I wouldn't get addicted to it and then have to stop eating them

Well, I'm shocked! Laundry be damned....every child should experience the sugary goodness of Fruity Pebbles. And I'm going to get a bag of marshmallows and make rice crispy treats, too! I hope the 'sugar police' aren't patroling these boards!

I eat Malt-O-Meal corn bursts with no problems, but I hear they will be changing the ingredients soon. Malt-O-Meal is the brand name, as well as the name of one of their cereals.

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
