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!

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      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.

      @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!
