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.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
