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.

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
