Yes, they ARE! And so are Fruity Pebbles! However, the marshmallow versions are not. When I found out that Cocoa Pebbles were gluten free five years ago, I was ecstatic because that had been my favorite cereal before getting diagnosed with celiac.

I can't wait to make some cereal bars with them also! woot! And you know what else I love? The fact that celiac/gluten intolerant kids can have a sweet mainline cereal that they can eat. Nice for their parents wallet, and so nice for them to feel "normal". :)

does the box say 'gluten free' on the front?

i looked at giant tonight but didn't see anything labeled. it actually said 'may contain wheat' so i'm assuming it was an old box still...

Yes! It says "Gluten Free!" in huge letters right at the top. :) Your store probably has old boxes. I bought mine at Target so maybe Giant is still behind the times.

I wouldn't buy them for the longest time because I didn't see the gluten free in big letters on the top of the box. One day I picked up a box and found it written on the side panel. Just look over the boxes to see if you find the gluten free words. My kids have been eating the cocoa and fruity pebbles a lot. They don't like the pebbles cereal bars at all. Come to think of it they didn't like the prepackaged rice crispy bars (when they could eat them) either. They, and the pebbles bars, to me have a funny "wang" to them. I can't quite put my finger on it. When me make them from scratch they don't have that taste and are soooo good. I have looked at the cupcake pebbles and I have yet to find a box that has gluten free on it, so I won't buy those.

The Cupcake Pebbles are pretty gross anyway. :)

I agree about the premade cereal bars. They have a funny aftertaste. My ds ate them, but then again he's a teenage boy and will eat anything that isn't moving. lol.. But I thought they were icky. I'm going to make my own pretty soon. yummmm....

I bought a box of gluten-free Cocoa Pebbles when my 12-year old granddaughter spent the night with me. They came with a sample of the Cocoa Pebbles Treat. I had one bite just to taste them. I thought they were sickening sweet but she loved them!

I'm thinking the Cocoa Pebbles cereal crushed might make a good chocolate pie crust (no additional sugar needed though).

ETA: I found them at Wal-Mart

I just had one of the bars and I actually liked it, didn't notice the aftertaste. Its sweet but a much better option if you're craving a candy bar or something!

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
