At a regular grocery store Cocoa and Fruity Pebbles by Post are gluten free.

At health food stores that have a brand called Envirokidz and they have good cereals. The ones that are gluten free clearly say it on the front of the box.

Entirely depends on your supermarket. :-) The ones I've gotten at various places:

Environkids Gorilla Munch (a bit on the sweet side for me, though)

Health Valley Rice Crunch 'Ems and Corn Crunch 'Ems

Pacific Valley's Nutty Rice (NOT the corn variety)

Erewon's Crispy Rice

Nature's Path Mesa Sunrice and Cornflakes

And, of course, hot cereals like Bob's Red Mills Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal, or their rice, soy, buckwheat, or millet grits, or Ancient Harvest's Qunioa Flakes.

currently Malt O'Meal has several cereals that are Gluten free according to the letter I received from them. Their version of Fruity Pebbles, Cocoa Pebbles, Puffed Rice, and Corn Pops... but read the labels because they might be changing some of the ingredients formulations. The rep I spoke with on the phone said that if enough people complain about the possible ingredients change that would make these no longer gluten-free, then the higher ups just might reconsider. Also by contacting the company directly they sent me quite a few coupons to use to buy Malt O'Meal cereals. I got a bunch of them on sale at WalMart's SuperCenter and am well stocked in cereal for a while.

I also really like Nature's Path's Mesa Sunrise cereal, it's really yummy, esp. with honey and milk!

I'm a big fan of Kashi Cranberry Sunrise(or is it Sunshine), wow, I can't think! It's one of those, but it's pretty good. Wegmans has a cereal in their health food section, its corn flakes with strawberries and it tastes a lot like special K with berries, which I miss very much! If there was one thing I wish I could eat again it would be cereal. Normal cereal! Good luck

Erewhon has a gluten-free Crispy Rice cereal with strawberries in it. YUM

I just bought Barbara's Bakery Puffins Peanut Butter from my local Jewel grocery store. I didn't have a reaction, but it's only wheat free, not gluten free, apparently because it contains oat flour in the ingredients. It was definitely yummy if your tummy can handle it! If not, Barbara's also makes other cereals that are gluten-free.

Well oats in the U.S are contaminated with wheat so they aren't safe.

It has been shown some celiacs can handle oats and some can't. There is a protein called avenin that some react to...just ones in the U.S are contaminated so they aren't safe anyway.

thank you . I did check out all the cereals that say gluten free like barbara's and environkids, my problem is one of my allergies is iodine, crazy i know but because of it cant have shellfish, iodine salt or sea salt as well as some of the dye tests hospitals do that contain iodine in their dye. that is how we found i had an allergy to it . so right now the only cereal I have been eating is the cream of rice and i tryed the alf puffed rice , also the arrow heads puffed rice but because still so new dont know how safe these store brand puff rices are . I call when I can but they dont have a number and after reading about cross catamination on arrowheads items I prefer to leave them alone. so any help would be appreciated, a number maybe some one has for them or a way i can contact them . rosie

oh forgot to mention the barbs and kids both have the seasalt , as do many of the organic or gluten free products, seems they add it alot to these items ;)

Barbara's Puffins Honey Rice Cereal is so good. They stay crunchy until the last bite and have just a slight hint of almond to them. Not all the Puffins are gluten-free, but this particular one is. I eat them often and hope that I won't tire of them...haven't so far. I think Bob's hot cereal is awful and miss oatmeal sooooooo much. I haven't tried grits yet, have some on the shelf to try.

Does anybody know why Cocoa pebbles and Fruity pebbles are not on either the CSA product listing or the Delphi listing? There seems to be a number of folks with celiac disease who are using these products.

Guest barbara3675

My health food store sold me organic rolled oats that are produced in a facility that does nothing but those oats and I eat them occasionally, not every day. I was missing oatmeal so much. I don't have a problem after eating them and they taste so good. I wanted to get as many whole grains in as possible and this is one way to do that. My Honey Rice Puffins are also whole grain and I still love them, too. Not all Puffins are gluten-free, though, so you have to watch the labeling.

      To put this in perspective, most recent pretest "gluten challenge" guidelines for those having already been eating reduced gluten or gluten free for a significant time period is the daily consumption of 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks leading up to the day of testing (antibody or biopsy). And I would certainly give it more than two weeks to ensure a valid test experience. Short answer: If it were me, yes, I would assume I have celiac disease and launch full bore into gluten-free eating. I think the tTG-IGA is reliable enough and your score is solid enough to make that a reasonable conclusion. Here is an article to help you get off to a good start. It's easy to achieve a reduced gluten free state but much more difficult to achieve consistency in truly gluten-free eating. Gluten is hidden in so many ways and found in so many food products where you would never expect to find it. For example, soy sauce and canned tomato soup (most canned soups, actually), pills, medications, health supplements. It can be disguised in terminology. And then there is the whole issue of cross contamination where foods that are naturally gluten free become contaminated with gluten incidentally in agricultural activities and manufacturing processes: Eating out at restaurants is a mine field for those with celiac disease because you don't know how food is handled back in the kitchen. Gluten free noodles boiled in the same water that was used for wheat noodles, eggs cooked on the same griddle that French toast was, etc.

      Thank you for the response and article. I was placed on the Mediterranean diet and been on that now for about 3 weeks. While not gluten free I am eating very little bread or anything with gluten ie a slice of whole wheat bread every couple days so assume that would cause issues now with a biopsy.  With the condition my liver is in I am unsure moving back to higher bread consumption is ideal.  In this scenario would my test results be enough to assume positive Celiac and just move forward gluten free?

      Welcome to the forum, @MI-Hoosier! You are operating on a misconception about your "mixed" test results. You only had two celiac disease diagnostic tests run out of six that could have been ordered if your doctor had opted for a complete celiac panel. It is perfectly normal to not test positive for all possible celiac disease diagnostic tests. That is why there is more than one test option. It is the same way with other diagnostic testing procedures for many or most other diseases. Generally, when diagnosing a condition, a number of different tests are run and a diagnosis is arrived at by looking at the total body of evidence. The tTG-IGA test is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing and the one most commonly ordered by doctors. You were strongly positive for that test. It was not an unequivocal result, IMO.  Having said that, it is standard procedure to confirm a positive celiac disease blood antibody test result with an endoscopy/biopsy which is still considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. Had your tTG-IGA been 150 or greater, your doctor many have opted out of the endoscopy/biopsy. The absence of GI distress in the celiac disease population is very common. We call them "silent celiacs". That can change as damage to the lining of the small bowel worsens. Elevated liver enzymes/liver stress is very common in the celiac population. About 18% of celiacs experience it. I was one of them. Persistently elevated liver enzymes over a period of years in the absence of other typical causes such as hepatitis and alcohol abuse was what eventually led to my celiac disease diagnosis. But it took thirteen years to get that figured out. Within three months of going gluten free my liver enzymes were back into normal range. Thank goodness, there is more awareness these days about the many long fingers of celiac disease that are not found in the classic category of GI distress. Today, there have been over 200 symptoms/medical conditions identified as connected to celiac disease. It is critical that you not begin a gluten free diet until your endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel is over. Doing so before that procedure will invalidate it because it will allow healing of the small bowel lining to begin. Here is a link to an article covering celiac disease blood antibody testing:

      Hi,  I was recently diagnosed with stage 3 NASH and doctor is concerned something is caused my disease to progress quicker than they would expect.   During blood tests a celiac screen was pulled as my mom is a celiac. My ttg was a 49.4 (normal >15) but my endomysial antibody was negative. I have never had gluten symptoms and no issues with bread and am 54. Do I need a biopsy to rule celiac in or out with this mixed test? Any thoughts are appreciated.
