Oh Happy Day, gluten-free Honey Nut Cheerios!

Honey nut Cheerios now says gluten free on the front of the box! My kids had to stop eating it yrs ago when they tested positive. And now they are able to eat it again!

I always wondered since this is an oat cereal why it wouldn't be gluten-free, but I think cross contamination was the issue.

Thank you General Mills for stepping up and certifying that this favorite cereal is now gluten-free!!

Happy days are here again....

I've been eating them with no issues however, I wanted to bring to your attention some 'conversations' that have been happening in the Celiac world that they may not be consistently gluten free.   General Mills developed a process to take regular oats (not certified gluten free from the farm) and remove the traces of gluten in it to make their product.   Some are saying that one box could be gluten free within the 20 ppm limits and another may not as their testing loads boxes together and takes a mean sample.   I don't know how true this is and General Mills is addressing those concerns as well.. Just want to let you know that in case you have issues.    I don't as I said, I've been eating them a few weeks now with nothing so I'm not sure I believe the hype of the concerns being voiced.   

 

I love Cheerios!!   :)

My kids are not the sensitive type so anything that says gluten-free, is perfectly fine. I know they eaten cross contaminated foods w/ o any issues, and have even been gluten ex on occasion. No problems.

I've been working my way through a box of regular Cheerios (my favorite) and I've had some vague symptoms that could be CC or could be "I'm eating more greens and grains than before." (I told you they were vague.) They're symptoms I get from CC for sure, but more of "someone touched a tortilla before touching my chicken, but there were no crumbs" level.

I'm going to see how I feel as I make my way through the box. Regardless, I hope they figure out a safer way to do things and use some certified oats. I never have a problem with certified oats.

I feel they are safe to eat for me.  I have been eating them for breakfast lately, and was screaming jumping up and down when I first found them at a store with the gluten-free logo on them.  Just like anything else, they are not going to be for everybody.  Not all Celiacs can tolerate oats, and if you aren't used to eating a lot of oats and high fiber foods, you may have some discomfort if you go and eat a whole bunch, just like you would get discomfort after eating a bunch of beans if you weren't used to it.

I ate them today!!! I eat them for breakfast with milk and when I was little they used to be one of my favorite snacks.  I would melt a tablespoon of butter in a pan and add honey nut cheerios.  Buttered honey nut cheerios!! Yum!!

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
