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.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
