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.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
