Ok Ss's (Super Sensitives) tee hee :)

I need some cereal. I have always been a big cereal person. Do any of you do ok with Chex cereals? I emailed them and they dont make them on dedicated equipment but have strict guidelines etc. The Pebbles line is on dedicated equipment and I'm not sure about the gluten free rice krispies. Any thoughts on these?

Do you get "natures path" cereals in the US? They are approved by the UK celiac society, and I haven't had any overt problems with them, but have been careful about quantity etc. They have nice rice crispies and "mesa sunrise" which is made with quinoa and aramanth flours. I also like rice and buckwheat flakes from our supermarket which make a nice porridge, if I have time to make it. Another possibility is boiling up some quinoa with rice milk, or whatever milk you prefer.

I can't say much about the risk of reactions to these foods as I am still new to all this. The only cereal reaction I have had was to a bag of basmati rice, which I am positive must have been contaminated as I got sicker and sicker after starting this particular bag, and got better when I stopped using it. A bag of long grain rice and other rice products have been just fine.

I'm pretty much the biggest cereal fan ever! I'm from the UK but now living in the US.

Chex are meant to be safe for celiacs. I ate them for months, a huge bowl every morning and often more at night, and was fine but more recently I've been getting diarrhea after eating them. I've stopped for a while and I'm back to Envirokids cereals...yummy! Peanut Butter panda puffs and gorilla much are my favourite right now and they go perfectly with Nature's Path Corn Flakes. Nature's Path have lots of other good gluten-free cereals too.

I've heard from a few friends that the gluten-free rice krispies have made them sick but haven't tried them personally.

My sensitive daughter can have a small bowl of Envirokidz a day without a gluten issue, usually. I believe they are the Nature's path cereals, yes? My family hasn't tried any of the others from that company.

I react to the envirokidz, but not too badly. It's a bit hard for me to say how much, any more accurately than that, because I'm allergic to some of the ingredients, so things are just overall crappy for a few days, you know?

I did not do well with Rice Chex, but you know me - gluten can sneeze my way and I react. :lol: Most celiacs I talk to have eaten Chex without issue. However, I have seen a few people now saying that they felt ill after eating honey nut chex. I've found this on a few different sites, only this flavor mentioned, so that might be a flavor to approach cautiously if you choose the chex route.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By trents · Posted

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By Skydawg · Posted

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      Gluten Free Cannabis Edibles

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By RMJ · Posted

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
