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.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50. US 2024 - Increased Risk of Herpes Zoster Infection in Patients with Celiac Disease 50 Years Old and Older Sweden 2018 - Increased risk of herpes zoster in patients with coeliac disease - nationwide cohort study

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
