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.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      @HAUS, I was at an event in the UK a few years back. I remember ringing the restaurant ahead to inquire about the gluten free options. All I wanted was a few gluten free sandwiches, which they provided and they were delicious. The gluten-free bread they used was Warbutons white bread and I remember mentioning it on this site before. No harm in trying...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

All I wanted was a few gluten free sandwiches, which they provided and they were delicious. The gluten-free bread they used was Warbutons white bread and I remember mentioning it on this site before. No harm in trying it once. It's fortified with Calcium and Iron. https://www.warburtonsglutenfree.com/warbs_products/white-loaf/ The only other gluten-free bread that I've come across that is fortified is Schar with Iodized salt, nothing else.

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
