The main things you have to watch in these rice cereals is malt: most of the time, malt comes from barley, which is a big no-no. So, Rice Krispies are definitely *not* gluten-free. I don't know about Rice Chex, but I'm assuming they are not, as well.

Two mainstream cereals that are gluten-free (last I checked, but do always read the ingredients) are Cocoa Pebbles and Fruity Pebbles. It's hard to find mainstream gluten-free cereals. I only eat Perky-Os, which are made by Enjoy Life products, and I've never had a problem with them. They are expensive, though, and sometimes hard to find.

Good luck!

Hi, Rice Chex as well as Corn Chex have malt in them. As the poster before me said, Cocoa Pebbles and Fruity Pebbles are gluten free as well as Dora Cereal if you are looking for kid cereal. Sometimes my son prefers something more grown up so we tried Natures Choice corn flakes this week, very good. Also there is a company (can't remember the name) who makes are cereal that looks like Chex that is gluten free. I have found them in several health food stores. Envirokids makes several kid type cereals but they also have one that tastes pretty similar to a frosted flakes type cereal.

These are probably considered "kids cereals" - but I love EnviroKidz: Gorilla Munch and Panda Puffs. Both are gluten-free.

These are not "kids' cereals". After you pour them into the bowl they are just "cereal". Only the boxes have kiddie pictures on them. Pour them into an unlabeled plastic cannister and they'll never know.

From the health food store, I like Perky's Nutty Rice and Erewhon's Rice Twice. I also liked Heartland's Cinnamon Ceros, but have since had to eliminate legumes and it is made out of bean flour. I didn't care for Enjoy Life's granolas because they are just way, way too sweet for me.

Try Ewhorn gluten free Twice Nice rice cereal. It is good. You can get it at natural food store. They have a couple brand which have Malt, so make sure it says gluten free. Actually, I notice they now have a new box, and only the Twice Nice cereal says gluten free. The others all say wheat free (they have barley malt). So, now I guess they just have the one.

I have to order the PerkyO's from the internet. No store carries them in my area. Sometimes shopbydiet.com has them on sale.

I bought the Frosted Perky O's from the Gluten Free Source in Dillsburg, it was good. I used to eat cereal dry as a snack, so I miss apple jacks,waffle crisp, and all those other things. I have not cared for the Enjoy Life granola yet. Dora cereal is good though.

      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.
