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.

  Implications of glutening after repairing villi

  Implications of glutening after repairing villi
  
  HI, I am new to this and am still in 'repair' mode, which I know will take time. But I'm wondering if anyone knows what happens if you ingest gluten after you have made a lot of progress in repairing your villi. Does anyone know if you just have a short-term issue? Or does an accidental ingestion of gluten derail all the work you've done and set you back...

  There aren't good studies that have been done on celiac disease remission, and I'm going from a distant memory of an older post here, but the longest remission that Dr. Stefano Guandalini from the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center has witnessed was ~10 years, then the symptoms of celiac disease and the damage came back. The real issue though, is...
