I would LOVE suggestions.

To my knowledge there are not too many gluten-free cold cereals on the shelf without looking in the health food section of your grocery store. My family is able to tolerate Fruity Pebbles, its made from rice and as far as I know is gluten-free. Corn pops are still gluten-free now but will be changing their formula to add what starch sometime this month so be sure to check the label.

I have not tried oatmeal so I cannot help you there. I do know in the health food section of my grocery store they have wonderful gluten-free hot cereals made by Bob's Red Mill.

Hope this helps :)

Also for cooked cereal try Lundberg's Sweet Almond Rice cereal, it's wonderful. Shirley

I found that oatmeal was a problem for me so I had to give it up. There is a company called Nature's Path that makes gluten free cereals and they taste good. Its web site is www.naturespath.com. It is a Canadian company so I'm not sure if it's available elsewhere.

I LOVE :wub: the EnviroKidz Cereals. My favorite is the peanut butter panda puffs. YUM!!! Adults can enjoy fun cereals too! ha

As far as the oatmeal question goes. I personally have trouble with it. I had purchased the McKaans Oatmeal that says they are not cross contaminated and safe for celiacs. However, my tummy rumbled every time I had some.

All I can say it try it for yourself and see if you have a reaction, but do be sure to get a brand like McKaans that does not have cross contamination. Some people ARE able to eat it, I am just not one of them. :rolleyes:

These are the ones I've had:

Nature's Path makes a Corn Crunch-Em's and Rice Crunch-Em's that are like Chex.

Arrowhead Mills makes a Maple Buckwheat Flakes that are tasty.

Envirokidz's Gorilla Munch is pretty good too.

Nature's Path makes a Blue Corn Corn Flakes, which I was ambivalent on.

And some stores make corn flakes or rice puffs without malt.

Unfortunately, none of them are as well rounded as I'd like and tend to be low on fat and protein. :-( There are some online places you can get granola from that are gluten-free that I might try at some point, but haven't yet. Cream of rice with dried fruit (mmm... blueberries), milk (or milk substitute), and crushed almonds is good.

Oatmeal gives me a stomachache quicker than cream of wheat. It's been noted that some celiacs can tolerate oats though. Good luck! Thanks everyone for the great info on cereals. Fruit every day for breakfast just isn't doing it for me!

An idea for breakfast might be to make your own fruit breads, and eat a slice in the a.m. most of the prepackaged mixes have great recipes on them, also maybe you could get your library to order some gluten-free cookbooks for you to browse through. I am fortunate to be a homemaker and have time to do this, hope you do too!

I like Bob's Red Mill gluten-free Hot and Tasty Cereal. Also, I've found polenta makes a nice hot cereal for a change. I like my breakfast cereal sweet so I add butter and maple syrup or brown sugar.

Health Valley has a corn and a rice cereal that come pretty close to Corn Chex and Rice Chex. I forgot the official name of the Health Valley Corn Chex like cereal, but I eat it straight out of the box for snacks!

I have tried Kashi Cranberry Sunshine, and haven't had any problems with it. It's a change from some of the more nasty things that I have tried in the last couple of months. ;)

Keep the great ideas coming.

I know I have read that EnviroKids cereals may be cross-contaminated, and I have to say that my experience seems to bear this out. Several days ago, I was taking an afternoon nap, and I woke up to discover that my older boy had eaten an ENTIRE box of cereal (either Gorilla Munch or Amazon Corn Flakes--I can't remember which, but both are labelled gluten-free) while I was sleeping. Well, by that evening he had developed rough, red cheeks (almost bleeding) and the same sort of rash on his bottom. He's still not totally back to normal! I won't be trusting those cereals again, unfortunately!

      Thank you Knitty Kitty, what type of doctor would diagnose Barrett’s esophagus? What is involved in the testing? Thanks!

      Top Celiac Disease Travel Destinations and How to Eat Gluten-Free Abroad

      I had a wonderful experience in Istanbul last Spring. Before I left home, I purchased cards written in Turkish explaining that I had celiac and explaining what I could not eat. The restaurant owners were so accommodating and caring. I stayed well the entire time we were in Istanbul.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      @Ginger38, Are you taking a B Complex vitamin? Vitamin D? Thiamine in the form TTFD or Benfotiamine? I think increasing my B Complex vitamins and taking additional Thiamine and Vitamin C and zinc helps along with the Lysine.

      There's simple dietary changes that can be done to improve Barrett's esophagus. There are vitamins that improve Barrett's esophagus --- most of the B vitamins! Reducing sugary foods and drinks will help. A diet high in simple carbohydrates can deplete Thiamine and other B vitamins needed to process them into energy. Eating green leafy vegetables helps...

      Osteoporosis: Does the body start rebuilding bones after starting a gluten-free diet?

      By Bogger · Posted

      Thanks for your reply I’m a nearly 69yr old female. My only medications are Fosamax and Lamotrigine for seizures. Thank you for that drugs.com link! There are soooo many common side effects for Reclast and almost nothing for Fosamax. Since it’s working well and I haven’t had any side effects from Fosamax (stomach bleeding, pain or upset) my doctor recommends it first over Reclast. Reclast is introduced into a vein thus bypassing the stomach which avoids all those stomach issues. But, once it’s in me, it’s there for a year or so. Any complications can’t be undone. With Reclast, I’m concerned about not being able to treat dental issues, several weeks of bone pain and the chance, although rare, of kidney damage. Plus all those other dozens of common side effects. It’s a very effective drug but looks pretty complicated to deal with. Hopefully I’m not just being a big chicken. In 2018 I fell and broke my ankle in two places. It took three screws to put it back together which is normal for that surgery. There was no mention of any difficulty or signs of bone loss. Thanks to my dog, I fell about a month ago onto a concrete floor with thin carpet. I landed on my left hip, then my spine, one vertebrae at a time, then clunked my head on the door frame. Twisted my wrist too. It was all in slow motion waiting to feel a crack that didn’t happen. Went to the ER tho. Amazingly, I didn’t even see any bruises. Thanks again for that link. I need to read through it some more. My doctor’s appt is next week when I’ll make the big decision.
