Hi everyone,

We're new to Celiac's so we're still finding our way. I know some Celiacs don't eat oats but for those of you who do, what's your opinion on Cheerios? Thanks for your help.

Cheerios are NOT gluten free. Don't know where he/she got there info but I wouldn't be trusting the things they say are gluten free.

However, you can have Cocoa and Fruity Pebbles by Post

Thanks for the quick replies. I didn't think so but I did email general mills too just to confirm so I'll get an "official response" too. No wonder she doesn't seemed phased by the whole gluten free diet. Chris

Just for the record, General Mills is a brand that will not hide anything just like Kraft :D

RE: Cocoa and Fruity Pebbles

Don't we have to be concerned about cross contamination with this manufacturer?

Cocoa and Fruity Pebbles are a Kraft brand. I really trust Kraft and never had a problem with the cereals and I am very sensitive. I eat foods that are processed on the same lines as wheat (alot of gluten-free things in the store are not made in dedicated facilities so there is that risk with alot of foods we eat) but if I have a reaction I get rid of it and won't eat it again.

It's quite amazing actually, the amount of misinformation that can float around. Last month, someone in the medical establishment (a nurse) told me that her celiac friend was overjoyed because she learning that Tim Horton's crullers were gluten free. I, of course, was totally skeptical (even if they didn't contain wheat, the contamination issue would make them off limits). Anyway, after contacting Tim Hortons, they said that they didn't know how this rumour was started (they already knew about it), but crullers were definitely NOT gluten free.

Just goes to show you.........

People who aren't celiacs just don't understand the whole gluten thing. They usually think just wheat. <_<

We went to my mom's house last week for lunch. She has always been very understanding and at least tries to feed us correctly. She even made a home made pastuerized, (yes pasturized) mayonaise one time. Anyway...she had some left over home made soup. She said it was made with beans and ham. I asked about the ham,. if there was any glaze on it ect. no...I asked if she put any canned broth in it...no...only canned tomatoes, Contandina. Everything seemed fine and she was so sure that it was gluten free we went ahead and ate it. It was delicious. Well....We later discovered it was a bag o f 15 bean soup that she had used. :blink: 15 bean soup has barley in it!!! :rolleyes:

Well now my daughter and I are paying the price. We both feel so achey, like we have the flu, and it's been a week now. Too costly for the pleasure of a little soup.

You can never be too careful, even with people who mean no harm. :)

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thank you for sharing all of this, Knitty Kitty! I did just want someone to share some commonality with. I did not know This one Deficiency was a thing and that it's common for Celiac Disease. It makes sense since this is a disorder that causes malabsorption. I will have to keep this in mind for my next appointments. You also just spurred me on to make that Dietician appointment. There's a lot of information online but I do need to see a professional. There is too much to juggle on my own with this condition.<3
