They are gluten free but produced with other products that are not. Everytime I have tried to eat fruity pebbles, it has triggered a celiac attack. I have tried with milk and plain just to make sure it wasn’t the milk and even completely plain, I had the same reaction.

Their website says it is produced on equipment that also handles tree nuts and peanuts. Nothing about equipment that handles gluten containing grains. Perhaps you are reacting to some other ingredient.

No I am not. I know several people with celiacs that can’t tolerate them. I would avoid if you are highly sensitive.

It could be herbicides and pesticides that make us sick. Or arsenic from rice? Our cereal should be tested for that garbage also.

I would urge you to look at the nutritional value of that cereal. Apart from the enrichment additives, there is almost "0" nutrition.

  No, I don't know of anyone in particular. But if you are consuming gluten regularly, it would be a great time to get antibody testing done for celiac disease. Many celiacs are of the "silent" type. That is, even though slow damage is being done to the lining of their small bowel, they are largely asymptomatic and remain that way sometimes for years until...

  Yes its quite possible that my condition wasnt coeliacs but something similar as had the classic symptoms but also more intolerances than just gluten. I have read that it is possible to become intolerant to more and more different types of food if you keep eating what you are intolerant to, not sure if that applied to gluten and coeliacs or not as it is a...

  Thanks for getting back to us Geordie. From time to time we do get reports of what seems like remission from those who have been diagnosed with celiac disease but it doesn't always last. I don't recall you saying you have been diagnosed with celiac disease, but just having various food intolerances and also implying in your last post that these intolerances...
