Are rice krispies suitable for celiacs as it says on the ingredients contains barley malt flavouring and on some sites it says it is allowed but on others it says it isnt the reason i ask is because i had a rather large bowl of these and am now suffering with diarrhea yes graphic i know sorry but i want to work out if it was that or something else that caused it.

Rice Krispies are not ok for us. They contain barley malt and are a definite no for us. Hope you feel better :D

One cereal we can have are cocoa and fruity pebbles...they are manufactured by Post which is a branch of Kraft foods so they will not hide anything.

How long have you been on a gluten free diet? I know it can be hard at first since it is a tough adjustment and your not sure what you can have or not have but it gets easier...if you need any help just email me or something and I can help you out

i have only just started i was ill for around 7 weeks constantly having major diarrhea etc so i just ate potatoes and chicken as that seemed to stop it then when i told the doctor this he said i had done the right thing and that i was halfway there to finding out what was wrong as it seemed to be food related he then suggested to try not eating gluten and wheat to see if that helped the situation and he ordered some bloods to be done since i have stopped having it i have been fine and felt 100% ok until i ate these and the symptoms returned he did however say after so long to try having something with it in to see if it returned but i have been apprehensive to try it guess i found out by accident instead lol just waiting for the results coming back now :blink:

That's great you were able to feel better so quick from it. I didn't see a major difference till 3 months and then took me another couple months to get back to normal. Did you get your tests done while you were still on gluten? That can make tests come back negative for celiac if you have been gluten free.

Good luck with everything :D

Well what i meant was i didnt have diarrhea anymore still didnt feel like me or how i used to anyway but at least i aint doing the 100 meter dash now whenever i eat something i had the tests done while staying clear of gluten but i have only been avoiding it for about 1 - 2 weeks i had my tests done yesterday so they will be around 1 week before i get the results i dont know how quick american doctors are but british doctors tend to be on a go slow most of the time in a way im kind of relieved that the rice krispies gave me diarrhea but at the same time it gets to me as it is yet another thing i cant have anymore its hard as it seems like everything i used to eat contains it so now i am avoiding it im sure you know the feeling

Yeah I know how it feels...took me a while to get used to the diet and it annoyed me but I was reminded constantly...it could be worse. Being off of the diet 1-2 weeks prior to testing could change results...hopefully it does not change results in your case but it very well could.

Over here doctors can be the same way. It took me about 4 days to get results and for the in depth panel took about a week.

Talk to you soon :D

My results got back from the lab pretty quickly, but the doctor took a couple days longer to contact me about them. <_< Well, if the average American celiac has the disease for 11 years before getting diagnosed, I guess a few extra days isn't that big a deal.

It is very overwhelming at first--and depressing for that matter--to cut out all those foods and try some gluten-free foods that are...mediocre at best! A few months, though, and you'll know all your favorites, have to think only twice (not 4 times) about what you can eat. Just hang in there. Also, you'll be told sometimes, that you need to go 100% gluten-free immediately. My GI, though, is giving a talk at the celiac conference in New York about how you'll go crazy trying to be 100% gluten-free the first week...it's better to ease your way into it and really plan. Don't worry about the Rice Krispies...nearly all of us (myself included) had a couple slipups in the beginning--right now, just try to work out the kinks. ;)

I buy Erewhon Crispy brown rice, to me tastes just like rice crispies, only it's gluten-free

The first few months I was gluten-free I made some mistakes, and I paid for them, but it is an adjustment period, and even after being gluten-free for 2 years now, I still make a mistake every now and then, I assume something is safe and it's not. Like I assumed that Corn Pops were still gluten-free and didn't realize until it was too late that they had changed their formula. Always double check labels even on products you've bought many times before.

I just finished a box of erewhon crispy brown rice and it tasted a little burnt. I dunno if it was just the box I got or it was the cereal? maybe I should try another box?

In my opinion that brand tastes a little on the burnt side. I use them only for rice krispy treats because they taste the same to me then. I don't eat them plain...for plain cereal I like Envirokidz and Cocoa and Fruity Pebbles.

Hello Andy. I'm from the UK too. I've had more than the couple of slip-ups celiac3270 mentioned and am two years in. Your doctor sounds relatively efficient and sharp - so far!

Because the majority of forum users are U.S. with a few Canadians and others the brand names and company policies are sometimes different. We have a UK section of the forum for UK specific products, places etc but sometimes the issues are just the same in the U.S. so I think you did the right thing there.

I moved home twice after having to go gluten-free and have ended up in a place with a kitchen one-tenth the size so am having to convert half the flat into a kitchen extension, with extra shelves to hold equipment and food stocks.

Keep us posted about your doctor & any more food queries.

Re toasted rice things, Kallo do rice puffs that are plain with nothing else (plus a version with honey) which are relatively expensive. Big Oz do organic ones (lots of food miles :lol: ) ditto. One or two health food shops do an own brand that may be slightly cheaper.

Best of wishes,

:) Queries about products & places are particularly good to raise under "UK & Europe" which I regularly check but on universal ingredients, cooking issues, symptoms and just plain coping the other portions of the forum are ideal.

Keep us posted about your tests, everyone seems to undergo a different procedure, and mine in particular is not a textbook story.

      Cricket Flour Makes Really Good Gluten-Free Bread

      Your concern about certified gluten-free cricket powder is completely valid, as cross-contamination in both feedstock and processing is a real issue. Currently, the availability of certified gluten-free options is limited, but brands like Chapul and Entomo Farms, which I believe have offered products processed in dedicated facilities and labeled gluten-free...

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
