My husband overheard a couple of people talking about Gluten Free Weet-Bix. My daughter is a coeliac and I have looked in a couple of supermarkets but can’t seem to find it. Does anyone know where I can find Gluten Free Weet-Bix? 

 

Thanks, Hilary

I did a google search and found Weetabix cereal but it all seems to contain gluten.  Probably not very helpful but it's what I found.

Welcome to the forum, Hilary!  I checked out weetabix cereal... it looks like it is kind of a crumbly wheaty granola bar thing you stir into milk to make cereal.  Something I think may be similar to that is Udi's granola.  Can you tell us what country you are in, since product information and ingredients can vary across borders. If you are in the UK, it is possible they may have something coming out from that brand, but the best way to be for sure is to pull up the manufacturers website and use the contact info there to ask them.

Thanks for your help Beth. I guess they haven't made gluten free Weet-Bix yet. Hopefully they do soon!

Thanks for your help Laura! I'm based in Sydney Australia. The Udi granola bar sounds pretty good but I don't think they have those here. I'll definitely check with the Weet-Bix website. It looks like they don't have anything gluten-free just yet, hopefully it's something they look into soon.

Hey, Hilary! Maybe post your question on this thread, too? There are several people that seem to keep an eye on it and might know.

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      The intestinal tract can be as long as twenty-two feet long, so intestinal damage may be out of the reach of endoscopy tools.  Some people have had more success with capsule endoscopy, but this method cannot take biopsies.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jack Common, It's possible that your antibiotic for giardiasis has caused thiamine deficiency.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-thiamine-deficiency-wernickes-encephalopathy/ And... Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/ For clarification, the weight of your slice of bread is not equal to the amount of gluten in it.   Gluten helps form those big holes in breads, so breads like thick chewy pizza crust and artisan breads contain more gluten than cakes and cookies.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Sorry about that link.  It was meant for a different post.   Do consider taking high dose Vitamin D in order to get your level up to around 80 nm/l quickly.   This is the level where Vitamin D can properly work like a hormone and can improve the immune system and lower inflammation.  It makes a big difference.   I took high dose Vitamin D and really improved quickly.  I ate Vitamin D supplements throughout the day like m&ms.  My body craved them.  Very strange, I know, but it worked.   Before you have surgery, you really need to improve your vitamins and minerals.  Vitamins A and D, Vitamin C and Niacin are extremely important to skin health and repair.  Without these, the body does not repair itself neatly.  I've got a scar worthy of a horror movie.  My doctors were clueless about nutritional deficiencies. A sublingual Vitamin B12 supplement will work better for boosting levels.  Tablets or liquid drops in the mouth are easily absorbed directly into the blood stream.   Do bear in mind that about half of Celiac people react to the protein in dairy, Casein, the same as they react to gluten because segments of the protein in Casein resembles segments of the protein Gluten.  Some people lose the ability to produce lactase, the enzyme that digests Lactose, the sugar in dairy, as they age.  Others lose the ability to produce lactase because the intestinal Villi become damaged during the autoimmune response against gluten, and damaged chili can't produce lactase.   Do try Benfotiamine.  It has been shown to improve gastrointestinal health and neuropathy. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thanks sending me additional links including how to test for thiamine deficiency. With regards to your first link, I wasn't diagnosed with giardiasis and I didn't take antibiotic for it. I try to generally stay away from antibiotic unless absolutely necessary as it might affect gut health. For treating phimosis, the doctor didn't give me antibiotics. I need to have a circumcision surgery which I haven't got around to schedule it.

      I'm not vegan, just vegetarian. I consume dairy but not egg. So I have started including some Vitamin D fortified milk as well as a multivitamin with 2000 IU daily. For Vitamin B12, like you said it's very difficult to get it from just vegetarian sources and have started consuming Vitamin B Complex daily. My PCP was worried when my Vitamin D result came out as It was 3.7 ng/ml last year. He said that being low for a lengthy time could have done some damage to the body over the years. Now, though Vitamin D level has improved after the supplements, I'm not sure if the neurological damage has already been done. I'll continue including the supplements and see if my symptoms improve. I'll also get tested for celiac to see if I need to be in gluten-free diet.
