Does anybody else have problems with bloat or any symptoms after eating Chex? I havent eaten any, either as a snack or cereal, for three days and the bloating has lessened in severity. Today i finally ate about a handful and a few min later didnt feel to grand and now im bloating up real good.

Everyone is different and there may be something else in them that bothers you, but for what it's worth all 4 in my family eat Chex cereals regularly...my girls would eat a box a day if I let them.

Yeah maybe it is something else like BHT. Or some other preservative. I was gonna go whole foods anyway so i will probably just cut it out for a while. Thx for your input.

I don't eat much Cinnamon Chex at a time, maybe only 1/2 cup (or less) is a serving for me, or maybe I should say that amount satisfies me. I have not noticed a bloated feeling. But I usually do not want more than the 1/2 cup or less of Cinnamon Chex.

My DS got the crazies after eating them. In comparing them to regular rice chex, my guess was the dyes in it. Not sure that could cause bloating but it may be something to watch for in other things.

Some days when i get called into work, i eat it as a snack off and on throughout the morning and early afternoon

Thats a good point. I think i need to all natural and organic and as little processed foods as possible.

The cinnamon chex got me bad and I'm not sure what it was in it as the honey nut has always been fine. The first time I tried it I was eating every day (ok, sometimes more than once a day) and I bypassed my usual initial 'glutening' symptoms, which are all digestive and moved straight onto the dizziness and balance issues which I don't usually get unless I'm glutened badly or repeatedly. It was like the contamination was so low it took a cumulative effect to get me. I did a thread about it here at the time and a bunch of other people mentioned issues with the cinnamon one that they hadn't had with other flavours. No idea what it is about it though.

No gluten there, but BHT and lots of artificial stuff that you might react to.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I ditched that junk. Considering that, i wouldnt trust them then if i cant trust one. I noticed it didnt have so great a taste after all or it maybe i have now gotten use to the taste of all natural ingredients. I can say it tastes a whole lot better to make your own foods out of fresh ingredients. Its amazing :-)

That looks like a wonderful source and thanks for sharing. I did not eat any this morning and i felt a lot better. I didnt bloat and start feeling real weak and have trouble expanding my lungs. Its hard to distinguish when you know you are still healing. I will definitely use that site in the future i am sure. :)

Considering that, maybe i should check my toothpastes and stuff, i think i heard that BHT is used in many things.

I reacted to even the rice chex. I mainly stay away from processed foods. I seem to react to extremely low levels of cc.

Ditto.

The only processed foods I eat are olive oil, some spices and coffee. If I change it, I get zapped.

I like the Cinnamon Chex, sometimes I feel like crud after eating them. Maybe I'll try the corn chex!

Okay, I have had a bad reaction from eating foods with certain dyes in them.

That is to say that I suspect that the dyes in the foods are what caused my bad reaction symptoms.

Oh wow. Welcome. Yes I have switched to your regular bacon, eggs, buckwheat meal and rice cakes with jam or peanut butter in the mornings. Fruit as well. Once in a while I may make pancake batter but not usually because I work too much to have the time for it.

My son was having stomach issues this past spring and after reading posts on here I started to suspect the cinnamon chex where CC with gluten. So much so that I bought the ELISA test strips and kept the box he was eating from. They checked out A-OK!! It turned out to be gastritis that was irritated by certain foods, one of which was the cinnamon chex. I'm guessing there is some ingredient that is tough on the fragile or healing celiac gut.

That may just be true.

      What do my test results mean?

      By jmiller93 · Posted

      I’m have a vitamin D deficiency. I’m still waiting on a qualitative fat test to see if I have malabsorption.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @jmiller93, Some of us are seronegative and don't test positive on tTg IgA tests.  Anemia, diabetes, and Thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives on Celiac panels.  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Iron? Thiamine?  Vitamin B12?  Vitamin D?  Only one Celiac markers is needed to develop the active disease.   I agree a gluten free diet trial is worth a try.

      strange symptoms/ diagnosis accuracy

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @HWB, Have you been checked for SIBO?  Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth will cause constipation and chemically breath.   The best way to get rid of SIBO is to go on a ketogenic/Paleo diet, like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet.  It starves out the carbohydrate loving bacteria and allows good bacteria to repopulate the small intestine.   The SIBO bacteria can communicate with the brain along the gut-brain axis, making you crave carbs, and in return, the SIBO bacteria can mess with your immune system by lowering inflammation and producing endorphins.  So, it's no wonder you feel better eating sugar.   I took high dose (500-1000 mg/day) Benfotiamine (Thiamine) which promotes intestinal healing and helps keep bacterial in check.  Thiamine and Benfotiamine are safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  High doses (500-1000 mg) every day are required to get results.  The body responds differently to high doses.  Got rid of my SIBO like this.  It was tough, but Celiac makes you stronger.

      Try whole milk yogurt.  I eat Stoneyfield vanilla.  Add fruit if you like.  Cultured Pasteurized Organic Whole Milk, Pectin, Vitamin D3. Live Active Cultures S. thermophilus, L. bulgaricus, Bifidobacterium BB-12®, L. acidophilus, L. paracasei and L. rhamnosus. Looking at the NO Fat Greek Yogurt, consider that to give the mouth feel of real yogurt ahd Manufacterers of no fat yogurt add various processed ingrediant that many Celiacs have digestive issues with such as gums.  Consider it processed food.  Fat is an important factor in our appestat to tell us we've eaten enough.  Remove fat and we eat more.  Compared to whole milk yogurt Chobani no fat greek yogurt has a cardboard mouth feel. Chobani no fat greek: Cultured Nonfat Milk, Cane Sugar, Black Cherries, Water, Fruit Pectin, Guar Gum, Natural Flavors, Cherry Juice Concentrate, Locust Bean Gum, Lemon Juice Concentrate. 6 Live and Active Cultures: S. Thermophilus, L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, Bifidus, L. Casei, and L. Rhamnosus Funny that since recommending low fat diets in the 1970's the US population has gone from 15% to 50% obese.

      Just had my daughter diagnosed and am currently awaiting blood test results for my son. As well as many bowel issues, mostly loose stools with mucus and lots of gassy moments sometimes leading to leaning stool, he has recently soiled himself in his sleep twice. He has been toilet trained for a long time, but is not waking up with the poo. It’s not just a little, it’s a lot.    We have had to make an appointment re his blood test results next week so will find out if it is coeliac too but I’m just wondering whether anyone else has had this? Ive read online that it could mean he’s constipated, but he poos all the time and it’s often soft, never hard.
