Hi I'm doing an article on popular gluten-free cereals. Are you a fan of Special K Touch of Brown Sugar Gluten-Free Cereal? If so I'd like to ask you a few questions. Deadline is in a matter of days. Thanks in advance! See updated questions below.

What are your reasons for buying Special K Gluten Free Cereal?

How often do you eat Special K Gluten Free Cereal?

How does it compare to other brands?

What impact does having more gluten free cereal options like Special K have on your life?

If you could tell Kellogg’s one thing about Special K Gluten Free Cereal, what would it be?

I haven't seen this cereal in a long time so you may want to email the company to see if they still make it.

Also the first 4 questions you list should not be needed for your survey. You may get more response if you remove them. Giving that much info could make people fearful of identily theft.

I wouldn't give him that info and my email address.  That could be bad.

but the one thing I would say to Kelloggs is - I really liked the cereal and wish you could make it again.

 

and why did you pick this cereal to ask questions about?  It was discontinued last spring.  The site might not be up-to-date.  Obviously, you don't know anything about the cereal

@kareng The cereal is listed on the Kellogg's website and their map indicator shows several stores in my area selling the product, but I will definitely contact the company directly to verify. Thanks!

As someone who has done market research for a living your request seems strange to me.  First, asking for private information really does not and should not impact research results.  Second, unless you are a fifth grader (and we do not know really how old you are), you would use a simple survey website like (Survey Monkey) to handle your survey and tabulate your results.  

Why not be more transparent with us?  

Now, let me give you my Social Security number now.......NOT!

You have a good point.  Maybe this is a kid? they don't understand how those store locator things usually work - they tell you who carries the brand but not necessarily a specific product.  I bet they just googled gluten-free cereal and saw that and chose it.  

 

So, if you are a kid, i am sorry.  But, because this cereal is not available where I live any longer - it kind of makes it hard to give you valid answers

Gluten-free Special K is my favorite cereal.  This is my go-to breakfast cereal at least 3 times week.  I have Celiac Disease and I  need to eat more fiber and this cold cereal has it.  I love the taste and crunch ... and it doesn't get soggy like other brands.  Please don't stop making this cereal.  It is a bit pricey and it would be nice if Kellogg could reduce the price.

Special K Gluten Free  touch of brown sugar is the best  I live this cereal but very hard to find in my area I live in South Glens Falls NY  and the stores in Glens Falls & Queensbury  that have this product is few and far between

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates? https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
