hey guys!

my mom makes an amazing party mix...BUT it's not gluten free. i know it shouldn't be hard to adapt to gluten-free (nuts, i found gluten-free pretzals) but i'm having trouble finding a subsitute for cheerios and the chex/crispix type cereal. i've looked in all of my local health food areas....so i was just wondering if anyone had any specific brand of those cereals that were good and where you found them? also, are the seasonings ok? worshtishire (yeah i butchered the spelling... haha), and then like garlic powder and stuff should be ok?? thanks in advance for your help guys! hope you all make it safely through the holiday foods! enjoy :)

- cheerios - nothing I've seen/heard come terribly close to the taste, but there are a couple (amaranth o's and perkys o's are the two that I can think of)

- 'chex' - health valley makes rice crisp'ms and corn crisp'ms cereals that taste just like chex (only better, imho)

- worstershire - IIRC, lea & perrins is fine

- garlic, spices - yep, stick to pure spices, and you're generally fine (not spice/seasoning mixes)

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By Kiwifruit · Posted

      Hi I just wanted to update you all and let you know that I finally have my diagnosis. 2 weeks ago I had my third gastroscopy and the biopsy confirmed the damage. Thank you for giving me the information I needed to advocate for myself when I a was a feeling so lost!

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree that the gastritis may go away after you've been on a gluten-free diet for a while. If you are concerned, it might make sense for you to do a follow up biopsy after  a year or so on a gluten-free diet. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Testing for celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Getting tested for celiac disease is a valid concern, especially given your history of microscopic colitis and the potential risks associated with undiagnosed celiac disease, such as cross-contamination, nutrient malabsorption, and increased cancer risk. Since you’ve been gluten-free for years, reintroducing gluten for the standard celiac blood tests or endoscopy would be challenging, as it requires consuming gluten for several weeks to months, which could worsen your symptoms and disrupt your daily life. Gene testing (HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8) through a lab like EnteroLab could be a helpful first step. While these genes are present in nearly all celiac patients, having them doesn’t confirm celiac disease—it only indicates genetic susceptibility. If you don’t have these genes, celiac disease is highly unlikely, which could provide some peace of mind. However, if you do have the genes, it doesn’t confirm celiac disease but suggests further testing might be warranted if you’re willing to undergo a gluten challenge. Another option is to discuss with your doctor whether a follow-up endoscopy or other non-invasive tests (like stool tests for gluten antibodies) could provide insights without requiring a gluten challenge. While a formal celiac diagnosis can be important for ensuring strict dietary adherence, access to gluten-free options in hospitals, and monitoring for complications, it’s also worth weighing the risks and benefits of reintroducing gluten. If you’re already strictly gluten-free and managing your symptoms well, the urgency of a formal diagnosis may depend on your personal health goals and concerns. Consulting a gastroenterologist familiar with celiac disease and Microscopic Colitis can help guide your decision.
