Does anybody else have problems with bloat or any symptoms after eating Chex? I havent eaten any, either as a snack or cereal, for three days and the bloating has lessened in severity. Today i finally ate about a handful and a few min later didnt feel to grand and now im bloating up real good.

Everyone is different and there may be something else in them that bothers you, but for what it's worth all 4 in my family eat Chex cereals regularly...my girls would eat a box a day if I let them.

Yeah maybe it is something else like BHT. Or some other preservative. I was gonna go whole foods anyway so i will probably just cut it out for a while. Thx for your input.

I don't eat much Cinnamon Chex at a time, maybe only 1/2 cup (or less) is a serving for me, or maybe I should say that amount satisfies me. I have not noticed a bloated feeling. But I usually do not want more than the 1/2 cup or less of Cinnamon Chex.

My DS got the crazies after eating them. In comparing them to regular rice chex, my guess was the dyes in it. Not sure that could cause bloating but it may be something to watch for in other things.

Some days when i get called into work, i eat it as a snack off and on throughout the morning and early afternoon

Thats a good point. I think i need to all natural and organic and as little processed foods as possible.

The cinnamon chex got me bad and I'm not sure what it was in it as the honey nut has always been fine. The first time I tried it I was eating every day (ok, sometimes more than once a day) and I bypassed my usual initial 'glutening' symptoms, which are all digestive and moved straight onto the dizziness and balance issues which I don't usually get unless I'm glutened badly or repeatedly. It was like the contamination was so low it took a cumulative effect to get me. I did a thread about it here at the time and a bunch of other people mentioned issues with the cinnamon one that they hadn't had with other flavours. No idea what it is about it though.

No gluten there, but BHT and lots of artificial stuff that you might react to.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I ditched that junk. Considering that, i wouldnt trust them then if i cant trust one. I noticed it didnt have so great a taste after all or it maybe i have now gotten use to the taste of all natural ingredients. I can say it tastes a whole lot better to make your own foods out of fresh ingredients. Its amazing :-)

That looks like a wonderful source and thanks for sharing. I did not eat any this morning and i felt a lot better. I didnt bloat and start feeling real weak and have trouble expanding my lungs. Its hard to distinguish when you know you are still healing. I will definitely use that site in the future i am sure. :)

Considering that, maybe i should check my toothpastes and stuff, i think i heard that BHT is used in many things.

I reacted to even the rice chex. I mainly stay away from processed foods. I seem to react to extremely low levels of cc.

Ditto.

The only processed foods I eat are olive oil, some spices and coffee. If I change it, I get zapped.

I like the Cinnamon Chex, sometimes I feel like crud after eating them. Maybe I'll try the corn chex!

Okay, I have had a bad reaction from eating foods with certain dyes in them.

That is to say that I suspect that the dyes in the foods are what caused my bad reaction symptoms.

Oh wow. Welcome. Yes I have switched to your regular bacon, eggs, buckwheat meal and rice cakes with jam or peanut butter in the mornings. Fruit as well. Once in a while I may make pancake batter but not usually because I work too much to have the time for it.

My son was having stomach issues this past spring and after reading posts on here I started to suspect the cinnamon chex where CC with gluten. So much so that I bought the ELISA test strips and kept the box he was eating from. They checked out A-OK!! It turned out to be gastritis that was irritated by certain foods, one of which was the cinnamon chex. I'm guessing there is some ingredient that is tough on the fragile or healing celiac gut.

That may just be true.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      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...

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!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      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 🤗
