Response From Post Re: Fruitty Pebbles

I saw on the box of Fruitty Pebbles from Post that they now say GLuten Free. I contacted the company and this was their response in case anyone else wants to know. (And I know they aren't the best thing for you...lots of sugar! But nice change every once in a while for my 10 yo Celiac Daughter and I!!)

Thank You Post for realizing the importance of CC.

Dear Darissa Perry,

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your inquiry regarding gluten-free Post Cereals.

Post does not utilize wheat, oats, barley or rye in the formulation of Post Cocoa, Fruity and Cupcake Pebbles. We are happy to finally announce that these select products are gluten-free and produced on a dedicated line; containing no other gluten products.

Now that Celiac Disease is a concern among consumers, we have evaluated our process to ensure there is no cross-contact with products that contain gluten. We now have strict supplier verifications and a finished product testing protocol in place to ensure that our products meet or exceed the FDA

Just an FYI, it is not just Fruitty Pebbles, but Cupcake Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles too that are gluten-free.

This is great news! Another cereal that we can eat. I would love to make marshmallow treats with these! Also, its nice to have more options. Even if it isn't the healthiest thing, it sure beats having only the Chex as an option as far as mainstream cereals go.

I looked for them at Walmart today and didnt see where it says gluten free. Are they plainly labeled and where did you find them?

Thanks! :)

Didn't see them yet at my grocery. Maybe it so new, the old ones have to be sold first. Not really my kind of cereal, but they make good snacks and I thought I might get them for the food pantry.

On the box, they don't say Gluten Free on the front. It is on the side panel, on the top above the nutrition label. Kinda hard to see unless you are looking for it. Not our kind of cereal on a regular basis either, but a nice treat every once in a while for my daughter who is almost 11.

Found them at Walmart and Safeway here in Arizona. They don't say gluten free on the front of the box, only on the side of the box, on the top, above the nutrition label. Hard to see unless you are looking for it. My kids want me to make rice krispie treats with them also. We normally use "rice twice" for rice krispie treats, which works great, but like you said, nice to have another option.

Awwww... the subtle approach.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
