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. :)

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Matthias · Posted

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By trents · Posted

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
