gluten-free Cereal ! (good News)

I have DH. Tonight I looked at the ingredients of CAPT CRUNCH Cereal (Quaker Co.).

It USED to have Malt Flavoring, so it was probably not gluten-free.

I looked at a newer box tonight at the Giant Foods here in Fredericksburg, VA and it has the following ingredients: "Corn Flour, Sugar, Oat Flour, brown sugar, coconut oil, salt, niacinamide, yellow 5, reduced iron, zinc oxide, yellow 6, thiamin mononitrate, BHT (preservative), pyridoxine, hydrochloride, riboflavin, folic acid." gluten-free????

THERE IS NO ALLERGEN INFO AT ALL - which supposedly in the U.S. means the 8 common allergens don't exist (milk, eggs, seafood, soy, wheat, peanuts, etc).

So, I think (I'm relatively new to this) that CAPT CRUNCH is gluten-free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know that in U.S. Oats are not "approved" because of potential cross-contamination, but in Europe Oats are allowed (as are several other things that have less than 200 PPM of gluten).

The USA is talking about a "Zero Tolerance" (which can't even be measured by today's methods) gluten-free requirement. So I sort of follow what the Europeans do, because when I was in Germany for 3 weeks (3 different times) I had spontaneous remission (DH) which was hard to explain at the time until I looked into ingredients there (very little Gluten).

This gluten-free is really a challenge for me. I'm starving all the time for want of food that I like!!! So having a cereal that I can eat will really help.

Quaker states that all their stuff has gluten in it because of cross contaminations. I tried oats a couple times with baaaad results. I eat Cocoa Pebbles. Neopets Island Crunch and Cocoa Puffs (check box because newly gluten-free) are gluten free. There are also a lot of other expensive ones out there. I have a list of foods my son eats if that would be helpful to you. I'd be glad to e-mail it if you would just PM me. I know how hard it is, but it gets easier! What kinds of foods do you like. Maybe we can help you find them!

Quaker oats or anything with Quaker oats are a big big risk because of cross contamination. IF you are going to include Oats in your diet, please make sure they are from a supplier that guarantees that they are free from cross contamination. Like McCanns... Personally I wouldn't trust that cereal because of the oat cc issue

No it is not. It states Oat Flour, and we know 2 things about oats

1) All oats, ESPLY FROM QUACKER (who is about the worst there is) , are contimanited with gluten. This is known gluten source ingredietn, might as well say wheat flour.

2) Even pure oats effect alot of ppl with celiac just like gluten does because the protients are so simular.

      The last time my vitamin D was very low, according to a lab test, was before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I've been supplementing ever since, and now the numbers on the lab tests are within their normal ranges, oftentimes way above. I've also been supplementing with methylcobalamin (B12) since I was low before diagnosis in 2010, and now I'm fine. I'm surprised I ever requested a folate level, but I did, in 2019. Result 9.4 ng/mL (range >3.0).

      Do you have any links that show studies where NCGS and/or infections have caused high Ttg iga levels.  I've yet to see anything that truly supports this. Everything I've read says the high levels are celiac specific.

      I get coughing and choking from canola oil. I cough up stuff.  Symptom is like bronchitis.  I have gluten intolerance, maybe celiac.  the choking persists for about a week, it simulates a cold.  I got it from the gluten free menu at Outback too, that time I got cramps for 25 hours. the cramps start about 20 minutes after finishing eating.

      Many of the symptoms, there are over 200, associated with celiac disease and NCGS are vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by small intestine damage in the case of celiac disease and food avoidance and the poor nutrittion of the Modern American Diet (MAD) I used to turn the heat on even at 78 degrees.  The 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine helped.  Also good for hair, nails, skin and brain fog.  Another good thing for brain fog is phosphatyl choline.  It is essentil for acetylcholine- a brain chemical. I have familial hyperlipdemia and instead of a statin I got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid, 2000 mg a day.  I was already taking 500 mg a day and was really surprised when my HDL when up to  44 and I began sleeping better and my legs and back are getting more flexible.  In addition after the first few doses of itchiness I get a warm fuzzy feeling Raising your vitamin D is crucial.  Low vitamin D allows the immune system to run amuck. intermittent bouts of fatigue, chills/cold intolerance, and shortness of breath/air hunger (sometimes feels like a hollowness in my chest, hard to describe).  Look at Thiamin deficiency. consistently ran hot, was always cranking the a/c, to someone who wears a down vest.  Any combination of deficiencies in B1, B2, B3, B5, choline and Iodine can cause this.  Likely all of them. After a lifetime of mouthbreathing GFD cleared my sinuses.  Post nasal drip is my first symptom of cross contamination nowaday.

      If you mean continueing on Gluten Free my answer is yes.  She showed significant improvement in her behavior and that translates to a happy family.  Do get her tested as sooon as you can.  You might want to investigate genetic testing for Celiac Disease.  Children recover more quickly than adults.  It took my son about 6 months on Nutramigen before going to regular food, gluten free.  Blood tests are not always accurate in very young children. You may be advised to see a gastroenterologist instead of relying on blood tests results. Logic: She is better off gluten than before.  Wheat flour has no nutritional value and has an omega 6: omega 3 ratio of 22:1.  Our bodies do better at 3:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation. When my son was diagnosed, back in 1976, his doctor recommended my wife and I also go gluten free.  We declined and lived to regret it.  I started GFD at 63 and have spent the last 10 years undoing the damage, some of my symptons went all the way back to my childhood and things I lived with all my life got better.
