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.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared. I highly recommend the two shot shingles vaccine as soon as your turn 50--I did this because I started to get the same tingling sensations in the same area, and after the vaccines I've never felt that again.  As you likely know, shingles is caused by chicken pox, which was once though of as one of those harmless childhood viruses that everyone should catch in the wild--little did they know that it can stay in your nervous system for your entire life, and cause major issues as you age.

      Gluten free nuts

      By Clear2me · Posted

      Thanks for the info. I recently moved to CA from Wyoming and in that western region the Costco and Sam's /Walmart Brands have many nuts and more products that are labeled gluten free. I was told it's because those products are packaged and processed  in different  plants. Some plants can be labeled  gluten free because the plant does not also package gluten products and they know that for example the trucks, containers equipment are not used to handle wheat, barely or Rye. The Walmart butter in the western region says gluten free but not here. Most of The Kirkland and Members Mark brands in CA say they are from Vietnam. That's not the case in Wyoming and Colorado. I've spoken to customer service at the stores here in California. They were not helpful. I check labels every time I go to the store. The stores where I am are a Sh*tshow. The Magalopoly grocery chain Vons/Safeway/Albertsons, etc. are the same. Fishers and Planters brands no longer say gluten free. It could be regional. There are nuts with sugar coatings and fruit and nut mixes at the big chains that are labeled gluten free but I don't want the fruit or sugar.  It's so difficult I am considering moving again. I thought it would be easier to find safe food in a more populated area. It's actually worse.  I was undiagnosed for most of my life but not because I didn't try to figure it out. So I have had all the complications possible. I don't have any spare organs left.  No a little gluten will hurt you. The autoimmune process continues to destroy your organs though you may not feel it. If you are getting a little all the time and as much as we try we probably all are and so the damage is happening. Now the FDA has pretty much abandoned celiacs. There are no requirements for labeling for common allergens on medications. All the generic drugs made outside the US are not regulated for common allergens and the FDA is taking the last gluten free porcine Thyroid med, NP Thyroid, off the market in 2026. I was being glutened by a generic levothyroxin. The insurance wouldn't pay for the gluten free brand any longer because the FDA took them all off their approved formulary. So now I am paying $147 out of pocket for NP Thyroid but shortly I will have no safe choice. Other people with allergies should be aware that these foreign generic pharmaceutical producers are using ground shellfish shell as pill coatings and anti-desicants. The FDA knows this but  now just waits for consumers to complain or die. The take over of Wholefoods by Amazon destroyed a very reliable source of good high quality food for people with allergies and for people who wanted good reliably organic food. Bezos thought  he could make a fortune off people who were paying alot for organic and allergen free food by substituting cheap brands from Thailand. He didn't understand who the customers were who were willing to pay more for that food and why. I went from spending hundreds to nothing because Bezo removed every single trusted brand that I was buying. Now they are closing Whole foods stores across the country. In CA, Mill Valley store (closed July 2025) and the National Blvd. store in West Los Angeles (closed October 2025). The Cupertino store will close.  In recent years I have learned to be careful and trust no one. I have been deleberately glutened in a restaurant that was my favorite (a new employee). The Chef owner was not in the kitchen that night. I've had  a metal scouring pad cut up over my food.The chain offered gluten free dishes but it only takes one crazy who thinks you're a problem as a food fadist. Good thing I always look. Good thing they didn't do that to food going to a child with a busy mom.  I give big tips and apologize for having to ask in restaurants but mental illness seem to be rampant. I've learn the hard way.          I don't buy any processed food that doesn't say gluten free.  I am a life long Catholic. I worked for the Church while at college. I don't go to Church anymore because the men at the top decided Jesus is gluten. The special hosts are gluten less not gluten free. No I can't drink wine after people with gluten in their mouth and a variety of deadly germs. I have been abandoned and excluded by my Church/Family.  Having nearly died several times, safe food is paramount. If your immune system collapses as mine did, you get sepsis. It can kill you very quickly. I spent 5 days unconscious and had to have my appendix and gall bladder removed because they were necrotic. I was 25. They didn't figure out I had celiac till I was 53. No one will take the time to tell you what can happen when your immune system gets overwhelmed from its constant fighting the gluten and just stops. It is miserable that our food is processed so carelessly. Our food in many aspects is not safe. And the merging of all the grocery chains has made it far worse. Its a disaster. Krogers also recently purchased Vitacost where I was getting the products I could no longer get at Whole Foods. Kroger is eliminating those products from Vitacost just a Bezos did from WF. I am looking for reliable and certified sources for nuts. I have lived the worst consequences of the disease and being exposed unknowingly and maliciously. Once I was diagnosed I learned way more than anyone should have to about the food industry.  I don't do gray areas. And now I dont eat out except very rarely.  I have not eaten fast food for 30 years before the celiac diagnosis. Gluten aside..... It's not food and it's not safe.  No one has got our backs. Sharing safe food sources is one thing we can do to try to be safe.
