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).

      Your high lactulose test, indicating out of control Small Itenstinal Bacterial O,vergrowth is one symptom.  You likely have low vitamin D, another symptom.  Unless you get lots of sun.   Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, often leading to subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  A lot of people have these symptoms just before an acute phase of Celiac Disease.  Each of the symptoms can have multiple causes that are not celiac disease,  but when you start having multiple symptoms,  and each symptom is treated as a separate disease,  you have to think, maybe these are all one cause. celiac disease. There is a misconception that Celiac Disease is  a gastrointestinal disease and symptoms are only gastro related.  Wrong.  It is an autoimmune disease and has many symptoms that usually are disregarded.  I made that mistake until 63 y.o.  It can cause a dermatitis herpetiformis rash,  white spots on the brain.  It caused my alcoholism, arthritis, congested sineses, protein spots on my contacts lenses, swollen prostate, symptoms that are "part of aging". You may be tolerating gluten, the damage will happen. Of curiosity though, your age, sex, are you outside a lot without sunscreen?

      It would be interesting to see if you were tested again for blood antibodies after abandoning the gluten free diet for several weeks to a few months what the results would be. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not necessarily suggesting you do this but it is an option to think about. I guess I'm saying there is a question in my mind as to whether you actually ever had celiac disease. As I said above, the blood antibody testing can yield false positives. And it is also true that celiac-like symptoms can be produced by other medical conditions.

      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there is still a lot we don't know and celiac disease continues to surprise us with new findings on a frequent basis. So, we would not advise you to abandon a strict gluten-free diet. Perhaps you can draw consolation from the fact that at the present time you seem to be able to consume gluten without consequences when in situations where you do not have the option to eat gluten-free. But I would advise you to not generalize your recent experience such that you throw caution to the wind. But I want to go back to what you said about being diagnosed by blood test in the early 2000's. Did you not also have that confirmed with an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel lining? Normally, a celiac disease diagnosis is not concluded based on a blood test alone because there can be false positives. What kind of doctor did this testing? Was it done in the U.S. or overseas? In the last few years, it has become common in the U.K. to grant a celiac diagnosis from blood testing alone if the antibody test scores are 10x normal or greater. But that practice has not caught on in the U.S. yet and was not in place internationally in the early 2000's. Do you have a record of the tests that were done, the scores and also the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the tests?
