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.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.
