Cereal

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 really like the newer Glutino Flake Cereals.

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.

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
