Response From Post Re: Fruitty Pebbles

I saw on the box of Fruitty Pebbles from Post that they now say GLuten Free. I contacted the company and this was their response in case anyone else wants to know. (And I know they aren't the best thing for you...lots of sugar! But nice change every once in a while for my 10 yo Celiac Daughter and I!!)

Thank You Post for realizing the importance of CC.

Dear Darissa Perry,

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your inquiry regarding gluten-free Post Cereals.

Post does not utilize wheat, oats, barley or rye in the formulation of Post Cocoa, Fruity and Cupcake Pebbles. We are happy to finally announce that these select products are gluten-free and produced on a dedicated line; containing no other gluten products.

Now that Celiac Disease is a concern among consumers, we have evaluated our process to ensure there is no cross-contact with products that contain gluten. We now have strict supplier verifications and a finished product testing protocol in place to ensure that our products meet or exceed the FDA

Just an FYI, it is not just Fruitty Pebbles, but Cupcake Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles too that are gluten-free.

This is great news! Another cereal that we can eat. I would love to make marshmallow treats with these! Also, its nice to have more options. Even if it isn't the healthiest thing, it sure beats having only the Chex as an option as far as mainstream cereals go.

I looked for them at Walmart today and didnt see where it says gluten free. Are they plainly labeled and where did you find them?

Thanks! :)

Didn't see them yet at my grocery. Maybe it so new, the old ones have to be sold first. Not really my kind of cereal, but they make good snacks and I thought I might get them for the food pantry.

On the box, they don't say Gluten Free on the front. It is on the side panel, on the top above the nutrition label. Kinda hard to see unless you are looking for it. Not our kind of cereal on a regular basis either, but a nice treat every once in a while for my daughter who is almost 11.

Found them at Walmart and Safeway here in Arizona. They don't say gluten free on the front of the box, only on the side of the box, on the top, above the nutrition label. Hard to see unless you are looking for it. My kids want me to make rice krispie treats with them also. We normally use "rice twice" for rice krispie treats, which works great, but like you said, nice to have another option.

Awwww... the subtle approach.

      Gluten Free ADHD medications

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Gluten Free ADHD medications

      By Gluten is bad · Posted

      I have Celiac, and just got diagnosed with ADHD as well, but the internet is not being helpful in researching which meds are safe for me or not. Does anyone know off the top of their heads which ones are safe?

      Are they safe for a corn allergy? I know white claw is corny!

      Glutensensitive? or something else?

      By trents · Posted

      Any testing for celiac disease done while on a gluten free or even a restricted gluten diet will not be valid. The blood antibody tests for celiac disease are designed to detect specific kinds of antibodies produced by the inflammation in the small bowel lining produced by gluten ingestion so when you remove gluten or restrict it you eliminate or reduce the inflammation to the point where it's levels fall below what can be detected by the tests. You say you had been eating "some gluten" in the weeks leading up to the testing. Recent guidelines for the pretesting "gluten challenge" call for the daily consumption of 10g of gluten for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. 10g is about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread and I would certainly give it more time than two weeks, say four, to be sure.  You may have NCGS or celiac disease but you may also have IBS as well or SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) which are all more common among celiacs than in the general population.
