I think I might have found a cold cereal I can eat today. It is the Amarath O's by Nu World Foods and although they definitely weren't high on the list of "best cereal I've ever had" they were tasty and did the trick to make me feel normal (I ate three bowls in a row I think the last time I had a bowl of cereal was at least February if not December :blink: ). Now, I wait to see if I react. Please Please Please I hope these are okay. :D:lol:

What kind of cereals do you generally like? Erewhon makes a really good brown rice and berries cereal that is gluten free. I enjoy sweeter cereals so I generally eat the Envirokidz Panda Puffs and Gorilla Munch. My husband swears by the Erewhon stuff.

The labels of the ones I've found beofre usually contained soy flour or casein of some type which I can't have in addition to the gluten. Plus, I wasn't "ready" to add something back in but I was craving something new yesterday at the store so I bought the box. So far so good. I think I just might be having cereal for breakfast now :)

I need to look at the ingediants agian when I get home but have you tried the Enviro- Kids cold cerals. The corn flakes are good. They have several diffrent kinds. I got that since my parents went organic about a year ago and buy that kind for my nephews. I had tried it before.

Somebody on here said we can have coco pebbles I been eating them I can't see any thing in it that can be bad.

Coco pebbles are full of artificial junk and sugar - not good for anyone. Envirokid would be a much better choice, they even have coco pebbles knock off.

My son tried the envirokidz cocoa pebbles and they tasted just like the sugary kind - only better for you!

Sometimes, it's just about being able to go into a regular store and buying something off the shelf and not paying an arm and a leg for it. Or if you're dealing with kids (like I am) - something that the other kids are eating, too.

The nutrionist that I spoke with also recommended Dora the Explorer Cereal as gluten-free. I don't see soy or casein in there either but I don't have to screen for that and don't know all the ways they hide it in a label.

Does anyone know if westsoy Rice drink is gluten free?

Also Im pretty sure the Puffins cereal is gluten free, the peanut butter flavor is better than capn crunch. They just need to make their boxes bigger, only get 2 bowls out of them.

      Hasn’t been given folic acid as GP says vit b and folic acid can’t be given together which I find strange cos any time I did venepunctures B12 and folate were always grouped together? Her folate level was 2.2, just below the normal level

      Hi Thanks for your input. Don’t know which exact medication she’s on, keep asking but she keeps forgetting!!! I still think her Vitamin D levels might be low cos she had the back pain and tingling last year( around March /April) and levels were low so she had 3 month course then and it helped. She’s coming home next week (as in to ours) for a long weeke...

      how long does it take for the genetic blood test for celiac to come back?

      Genetic testing for celiac disease (the HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genes) usually takes about 3–10 days to come back, depending on the lab your doctor uses, though some places may take up to two weeks. The test itself doesn’t diagnose celiac disease—it only shows whether you carry the genes that make celiac possible. About 30–40% of people have one of these genes, ...

      Vitamin B9 (Folate): The UL for Folic Acid is set at 1,000 mcg (1 mg) per day for adults. This limit primarily applies to synthetic folic acid found in supplements and fortified foods, not naturally occurring folate in food. High intake of folic acid can mask the symptoms of Vitamin B12 deficiency, which can lead to neurological damage if left untreated. This is because folic acid supplementation can correct anemia caused by B12 deficiency without addressing the underlying neurological damage. Some studies suggest that excessive folic acid intake might increase the risk of certain cancers, such as colorectal cancer, particularly in individuals who have precancerous lesions.

      Genetic testing for celiac disease (the HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genes) usually takes about 3–10 days to come back, depending on the lab your doctor uses, though some places may take up to two weeks. The test itself doesn’t diagnose celiac disease—it only shows whether you carry the genes that make celiac possible. About 30–40% of people have one of these genes, but only a small percentage actually develop celiac disease. However, if the test is negative for both genes, celiac disease becomes extremely unlikely, which is why your doctor mentioned possibly canceling the endoscopy if the result is negative. If it’s positive, it just means celiac remains a possibility and further testing, like a gluten challenge followed by endoscopy, helps confirm it. Since you have an identical twin, it’s definitely useful information to share if the genes are present, because twins share the same genetic risk. It sounds like you found a very thorough GI doctor, which is great, especially since she’s also monitoring nutrients and looking at the whole picture.

      @Heatherisle, You're not a bother at all.   What "Vitamin B medication" is she taking?  Is it just B12 and folate?   All eight B vitamins, Vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals need to be supplemented because the malabsorption of Celiac disease affects all the nutrients.  All the B vitamins work together.  Just supplementing one or two can throw the other B vitamins out of balance causing worsening deficiencies in other B vitamins.  Doctors are undereducated about nutrition.  Heavy sigh. This is worrisome.  These are all symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi caused by Thiamine deficiency.   An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay needs too be done to check her Thiamine level.  But because this test is so expensive and takes so long for the results to come back, it's much simpler to administer 500 mg Thiamine Hydrochloride several times a day for several days and look for health improvement (WHO recommendation).  Doctors can administer Thiamine Hydrochloride by IV along with a "banana bag" with all the B vitamins in it.  (Riboflavin gives it the yellow color.).  I've experienced vitamin deficiencies which my doctors didn't recognize.  When thiamine and B12 deficiencies started affecting my brain function, my doctors wrote me off as a depressed hypochondriac.  I had Gastrointestinal Beriberi myself.  I took over the counter thiamine hydrochloride at home and had health improvement within an hour.  High doses (500 mg) of Thiamine are needed to "jump start" the body into proper functioning.   Apologies if I was curt.  I get very frustrated because the nutritional deficiencies that occur with Celiac disease are not addressed properly.  All I can do is tell people about what I learned on my Celiac journey.  Have you visited my blog?  Tap on my name, look for pull down menu Activities and go to blog.   I do hope your daughter can get the nutritional support she needs.  I'm very worried.  Please keep us updated!
