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.

      Celiac support is hard to find

      Hi Cristiana! It's so nice to meet you! Thank you for the kind reply I am glad I live in a time where you can connect with others through the Internet. That is a mercy I am grateful for.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Fruits & Veggies

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
