I've seen a lot of Celiacs across the web complain about issues after eating Chex cereal, more specifically the Cinnamon kind. TWO BITES, and I'm running to the bathroom, mate, I swear to g** they need to take their "gluten-free" lable off it's like a sick joke. I tried this twice just to make sure and yeah, it's definitely the Chex. It straight up says "rice" in the ingredients, so whatever. It might just be from cross contamination, but truthfully it's such an intense reaction it can't just be from trace amounts from cross, that bit** is %100 gluten, I don't care, im mad. CHEX IS THE DEVI*🤮 I'm literally scared to try any other cereal, we can't even trust gluten-free lables, they say lucky charms are gluten free... A sweetened OAT cereal.. BIT** I am not putting OATS in my body that shi* is straight poison. It's infuriating because it's like these companies have no idea what it does to Celiacs. I don't trust those labels, I don't trust anybody, I'm done eating forever, goodbye cruel world.

Since Chex Cinnamon Cereal is labelled gluten-free, it's unlikely to have gluten in it. If this were the case I can assure you that they would quickly become the subject of a class action lawsuit. Is it possible that you are reacting to another ingredient, perhaps even the cinnamon?

I hear your anger. Been there. Everything you believed in has turned on you.

Give up all processed prepackaged food. Boycott the cereal aisle. Get a bottle of high dose vitamin D. See what happens. I think 10,000 iu a day is best because you want to raise your plasma vit D quickly.

Some psychiatric distress such as anger, anxiety, poor quality sleep, depression, and worry are associated with hypovitaminosis D in adolescents. The clinical significance of the current findings should be determined in future longitudinal studies.   https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4511535/#:~:text=The odds of reporting anger,adolescents (P < 0.05).

They showed that treating patients with 100,000 units of cholecalciferol every 2 weeks for 2 months may be enough to significantly elevate serum levels of 25(OH)D to above 30 ng/ml and reduce PTH...Until then, it is incumbent upon us to increase the dose and maintain levels of 25(OH)D in all our patients and in the general population where we may have some small influence. We need to rise to the challenge and make broad public appeals for wider supplementation with vitamin D and a prudent exposure to sunlight.   https://www.kidney-international.org/article/S0085-2538(15)53744-7/fulltext

      Hi. Did your ema levels ever go negative? My son is 2 years in gluten free and they are still positive.  I'm scared he has refractory celiac disease. Please if anyone has any info greatly appreciate it. His ttg is 3 which is considered normal.

      I will have that info soon but it was a laundry list of a test and 9 viles. ok so there were some days she was gluten she barely ate because of the reactions. I told her 3 weeks of atleast 10g’s a day and no gluten-free days. Thanks so much for your help! I didn’t know my suggestion for gluten-free days would have hurt her.    I will come back with the list to make sure the req was proper!!

      A "gluten challenge" of two weeks would be the bare minimum for expecting to render valid testing, and that would have been paired with eating a minimum of 10 g of gluten each day (the equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread). And with the three gluten free days in the midst of that two week gluten challenge I would not have confidence in the results of the testing. Was there a blood test done for IGA deficiency? Can you post the test names that were done with the scores and with the reference ranges used by the lab? By the way, with celiac disease the issue is not being able to digest gluten. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder defined by the fact that ingestion of gluten triggers an immune system response that attacks the membrane that lines the small bowel. The immune system mistakenly identifies the protein gluten as a biologic invader.

      Hey all!! M i want to thank everyone for their suggestions and advice - I am a single mother of 4 (now 3) and was helping with my oldest leaving the nest. I have another child with medical issues and with work (it’s our end year), life has been crazy and I haven’t had the time to answer.    so we got a blood test done for my daughter that can’t digest gluten. She had been eating gluten for 2 weeks. The blood work came back normal? How is that possible. I see her with my own eyes and it’s not normal. Is that not long enough?  I am thinking about having her eat gluten another week then go to the hospital and see what they say.    She did have 3 gluten-free days in those 2 weeks but she was getting afraid to eat and I told her to may take a day off - was this a bad thing to do? Girl was having constant back pains and muscle soreness as well. Headaches/migraines…should I wait longer. I did see 4-6 weeks of Gluten consumption prior to testing… kind of at a loss now.    Thanks to everyone for whatever advice you can give.   Enjoy your Sunday 😃👋👋
