For those of you that enjoyed the Kroger brand of corn pops, your enjoyment is over! It was a sad morning when I reached for the new box and just by chance read the label. They have started adding wheat starch. This is new, it used to be safe.

I hate it when formulas are changed. Malt-o-Meal started using malt in more of their formerly gluten-free cereals :angry: But I did find some chocoBalls (think coco krisp) by Always Brand (Big Yellow bag) that are gluten-free!!! and crunched up should make an acceptable chocolate graham cracker crust - just a little more coco powder and potato starch. I better write the company and ask them to please, please not change their formula!!!

I really am beginning to HATE this when companies do this. I think we all need to bombard the companies with letters expressing our frustrations to them whenever they do something like this.

Cross yet another of my daughter's fave cereals off of the safe list. CRAPOLA!

Does anybody have the contact address for Kroger???

Thank you Vincent.

I wrote to Malt O Meal when they did this... I just really think this stinks. They don't need to add gluten to it other than the fact that it is a CHEAP filler. It has ZERO nutritional value especially in my book!

If I remeber right, I think Malt o Meal makes most all the grocery store brands. Safeway and Kroger's I remeber hearing. It would kind of make sense, because within a month of Malt o meal adding wheat, I suddently noticed both Safeway and Kroger brands had wheat added within a month or so.

The company's top goal is to "help retailers make money," Neugent said. "Value is the greatest growth driver in the category.

I retrieved this statement from the top news article.

oooo that burns me up! We have been eating Malt-o-Meal "corn bursts" and I discovered just last week that they are no longer OK. ARgh. I found this out AS I was eating a big bowl :angry:

My son and I have both been feeling crummy, and I think that this was a big reason why. Too bad, because it was one of the only *cheap* cereals we've found that tastes good and is gluten-free. Sigh.

In case you guys have not noticed, they have also stopped carrying Dixie Lily white grits and Herb Ox bulloin cubes. I shared my frustration the last couple of times I called. I have had to start special ordering several items and have not had much luck getting them in.

The Kroger nearest me has also stopped carrying a lot of the Amy's gluten free meals... The first one they got rid of was the Rice Crust Pizza... grrrrrrr... I asked the Manager and he said he didn't even know why. It came down from a higher up.

I called and spoke with customer service. I shared our concerns that foods were disappearing from their shelves the we would normally drive to their specific store to purchase. I also told him that they were known as a store where we could purchase the foods we can safely eat and that they were the only one in our area where we could. The representative assured me that he would take our concerns up the ladder.

In got to thinking about it and believe that maybe someone has moved into a position to make these decisions and they are not aware of the store's reputation for serving our community so they are making decisions based solely on product movement or pricing issues. Hopefully the word will make it up the ladder to the proper person.

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note:...

      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      By SamAlvi · Posted

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once more developed severe diarrhea. I ended up in the ER again and received IV fluids. In my country, Pakistan, doctors are unfortunately not very thorough, so they treated me for a stomach infection. I visited three or four doctors, including a gastroenterologist, but it seemed like they just wanted to keep me on medications and IV fluids. Eventually, I did some digging myself and started connecting the dots. For years, I’ve had excessive gas buildup and frequent loose stools, but I never paid much attention to it. I also cannot easily digest dairy products. Two years ago, I had a CBC test that showed iron deficiency. My doctor told me to eat more meat and said it was nothing serious. However, for the past five years, I’ve also had severe motion sickness, which I never experienced before. Whenever I get on a bus or in a car, I sometimes lose consciousness for 10–20 seconds and wake up sweaty, and occasionally I feel the need to vomit. After more research on the internet, I came across gluten and celiac disease, so I got two related tests (TTG-IgA & TTG IgG) done along with a stool test and another CBC. The stool test showed weakly positive blood. Ever since eating those pancakes and bread, I’ve had a burning sensation in my gut. My doctor reviewed my tests, he told me to completely stop eating gluten and started me on IV fluids for 20 days, saying that I had severe inflammation in my gut. It has now been two months since I quit gluten, and I’m still not sure whether this is celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I don’t really trust doctors in Pakistan, so I thought I might get some help here.

When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—
