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

      So as some of you already know I was 47 turning 48 before my diagnosis so a lot and a lot of internal damage. I no longer obviously drink beer unless gluten-free variants of it but does anyone else really struggle when just drink any sorts of alcohol now. I'm really thinking going tea total and avoiding it completely

      Hi CathiJean, Wipe those tears my friend.  Finding out that you have celiac just gave you the cheat code on how to start feeling better!  It may feel like a loss right now, but honestly within 6 months you will start feeling better.  Within a year you will look back and wonder how in the world did I survive feeling like that for what feels like a lifetime?  You mentioned 15 years, that's about how long I have been really ill as well.  I had told every doctor I saw that I kept getting sick, infections, hair loss, joint pain, etc. and nobody would listen to me until I turned 45.  I went in for a colonoscopy and the doc says how often do you have bowel movements and I said usually between 10-15 times a day.  Suddenly I had someone actually listen to me and the testing began.  What I can tell you is use this forum, talk to peers, read everything you can about how to gluten-free your kitchen, encourage your family to participate in your journey (trust me they love you enough to make the effort), how to order food in restaurants, and how to avoid cross contamination.  Accept that you will make mistakes and allow yourself grace as you implement your new normal and have a clear understanding that going gluten free will begin healing your body in ways that you will not even begin to understand until you actually do it.  So, have faith that the nutrient deficiencies that you are probably experiencing right now can be corrected and you are on a bright path to feeling SO much better.  Think about how incredible your mom journey is about to become as you begin to feel better!!  Your kids are going to be amazed at your energy levels, ability to play and go do stuff...you are leveling up knowing that you have Celiac.  Knowing gives you power my friend, harness it and have gratitude that it was discovered...even if the docs missed it - you know now and keep moving forward.  You got this!!

      If you have been eating the gluten equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for say, 4 weeks, I think a repeat blood test would be valid.

      it did include Total Immunoglobin A which was 135, and said to be in normal range. when i did the blood test in January I would say I was on a "light' gluten diet, but def not gluten free.  I didn't have any clue about the celiac thing then.  Since then I have been eating a tonne of gluten for the purpose of the endoscopy....so I'm debating just getting my blood test redone right away to see if it has changed so I'm not waiting another month...

      Welcome to the forum, @englishbunny! Did your celiac panel include a test for "Total IGA"? That is a test for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, other IGA test resultls will likely be falsely low. Were you by any chance already practicing a reduced gluten free diet when the blood draw was done?
