Kroger Golden Corn Nuggets

I knew that Kellogg's Corn Pops contained gluten, but have consistently read the packaging on Kroger brand Golden Corn Nuggets -- and nowhere was it listed that it contained wheat. My latest package, however, says at the bottom, in dark letters, CONTAINS: WHEAT. I am wondering how LONG it has contained wheat and if, in fact, Kelloggs produces them and forgot to inform Kroger. I am in the healthcare field, and therefore despise the prospect of litigation (there are so many frivolous lawsuits) HOWEVER: gluten destroys my brain, my retinas and my peripheral nerves. It also wreaks hell on patients with celiac enteropathy. If we have been glutened because of incomplete / improper food labeling, I am all for a class-action lawsuit. I know that sounds extreme, but I am FURIOUS. I just ingested about 1/3 of a new box within the last two weeks, and can't understand why I'm falling so much more and my vision has gotten worse. Now I know why . . . .

Does anyone know anything about this? Lynne

They added wheat a couple months ago. If you looked though the old posts here you can find the date prbly 6 months ago when I told everyone that kroger planed to add wheat, the later some one posted when the ifrst boxes started showing up with wheat. Sorry I dont recall a more exactl time then that. :(

yeah it's been a few months... my daughter LOVES those, and I bought up the last 6 boxes of the old formula that my Kroger had... I absolutely HATE it when food manufacturers do this.

This is why even on supposed "safe" products, we have to read the labels EVERY time. Sucks doesn't it? :angry:

Our Kroger has had the old stuff for a LONG time! Sorry I missed your post, Vincent -- REALLY sorry. I guess I have to go back to eating the expensive honey coated Puffins cereal. How are we going to get these companies to understand the necessity for gluten-free products -- besides the ones that are outrageously expensive? Something has to be done.

I eat the environkids panda bars -- the peanut butter ones are really good! The problem is, I don't want to eat just one! :P

Thanks for all your help and input. I'm calmed down now -- do I need to go in my shell like Karen did? Will do if I have to! :ph34r: You guys are great . . . Lynne

P.S. Nini -- if you haven't checked out Vincent's website, you should treat yourself. The family stuff is fun and cute, and the astronomy stuff is out of this world (I swear I didn't mean to say that).

      Although sensitivity to gluten varies between individuals, multiple research studies suggest that consuming up to 10 mg of gluten a day is safe for most people with coeliac disease. Wheat flour contains approximately 10% gluten by weight, so this is equivalent to 100 mg of flour, or a piece of wheat bread the size of a small pea. There is a case report of...

      You might look into wearing an N95 mask when others are creating baked goods with wheat flour in your environment.

      @trents thank you for that information. My parents feel that cooking flour in toaster isn't a thing as its already cooked product before made? but Airbourne particles is my fear. Like I have had symptoms from 6 meters away had to leave massive migraine.

      Yes, except for the most sensitive, cross contamination from airborne gluten should be minimal. Highly sensitive people may have nutritional deficiencies. Many times their bodies are in a highly inflamed state from Celiac, with high levels of histamine and homocysteine. Vitamins are needed to break down histamine released from immune cells like mast...

Wheat flour contains approximately 10% gluten by weight, so this is equivalent to 100 mg of flour, or a piece of wheat bread the size of a small pea. There is a case report of farmers with coeliac disease developing symptoms from inhaling gluten containing dust from cattle feed but that is an extreme example and they were exposed to very high concentrations of airborne gluten over a long period of time. In a domestic situation, unless someone is making dough and putting a lot fo flour into the air, I don't think you will get significant airborne exposure. The thing to watch out for is making sure work surfaces, cutlery and utensils are clean. If you have to share a toaster, get some toasting pouches.

      Yes, except for the most sensitive, cross contamination from airborne gluten should be minimal. Highly sensitive people may have nutritional deficiencies.  Many times their bodies are in a highly inflamed state from Celiac, with high levels of histamine and homocysteine.  Vitamins are needed to break down histamine released from immune cells like mast cells that get over stimulated and produce histamine at the least provocation as part of the immune response to gluten. This can last even after gluten exposure is ended.  Thiamine supplementation helps calm the mast cells.  Vitamin D helps calm the immune system.  Other B vitamins and minerals are needed to correct the nutritional deficiencies that developed while the villi were damaged and not able to absorb nutrients.  The villi need vitamins and minerals to repair themselves and grow new villi. Focus on eating a nutritional dense, low inflammation diet, like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, and supplementing to correct dietary deficiencies.  Once your body has the vitamins and minerals needed, the body can begin healing itself.  You can have nutritional deficiencies even if blood tests say you have "normal" blood levels of vitamins.  Blood is a transport system carrying vitamins from the digestive system to organs and tissues.  Vitamins are used inside cells where they cannot be measured.   Please discuss with your doctor and dietician supplementing vitamins and minerals while trying to heal.
