Why, oh why, won't these people make a cereal gluten-free AND NOT PROCESS IT WITH PEANUTS!!!!???? My poor celiac son is anaphylactic to peanuts and the Envrokidz are all peanut contaminated. :(

Most gluten-free candy is peanut processed too. Sorry, just had to whine a minute. Valentines hit hard over here! And we are all "life-savered" out! It seems to be the only gluten-free/nut free item around! (Other than special order) :rolleyes:

I hear you! My son is anaphylatic to peanuts, and also allergic to tree nuts, milk, eggs, the list goes on. Finding candy is HARD!!

Beyond making your own! You can check:

Why not make your own? In the Betty Crocker Big Red cookbook, there is a caramels recipe there that calls for only 4 ingredients - sugar, corn syrup, butter, and cream

And oh my god are they good! And easy!

Thanks folks for finding this out. My 13 year old son had read to me many times the ingredients and told me I can eat them but I really didn't pay any attention. As a cereal lover, I can now add them to my grocery list.

General Mills just came out with Neopets Islandberry Crunch that is gluten-free.

Open Original Shared Link

Customer service confirms the company has clear labeling policy, so natural/artificial flavors do not contain gluten.

Back to an earlier post -- I DO remember the picture of him with the bag of cereal! Will definitely have to plan a trip to Wild Oats -- as I said, Tymber is a child with impeccable taste! :lol:

I don't know where you live, but in NJ/NY area you could check out Pathmark - I think their own brand of 'corn pops' are gluten free.

I think it's great that GM is putting out a 'mainstream' gluten-free cereal!

And I think it's funny that I read the ingredients, saw "high fructose corn syrup, red 40, and blue 1" and decided I'd not buy them.

And that made me realize that companies supplying gluten-free foods have a *tough* time because the gluten-free niche is split into those who are looking for fairly 'standard american food-stuffs' and the food-hippies. It's not as bad with non-gluten-free specialty foods, because the populations are so large that splitting the market still leaves two large populations, but our market certainly isn't that big yet.

Safeway's version of Corn Pops is gluten free. I like Cocoa Pebbles, Barbara's Corn Flakes, and Rice Crunch 'ems, too. It's better to have a little variety, the same cereal everyday can get so tiring!

The Corn Pops in my Safeway have wheat in them. I checked hopefully after people mentioned other generics being gluten-free. It's possible these were part of the recent switch along with Kellog's and Kroger. Be careful and read labels!

Anyone had any experience with Kellogg's Rice Krispies? I've seen several gluten-free recipes using them but the box says they contain malt flavoring?

One day Gluten-Free - and a long way to go. :(

Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice tastes the same as Rice Krispies and makes wonderful rice cripsy treats (I am munching one happily now and just had to post!).

I like Envirokidz Gorilla Munch...I think it's Corn-Pop-like, although honestly I never ate corn pops.

I'm a member of the SillyYaks yahoo group , there were a ton of email's sent out about it, of course like a dummy i deleted them. I'm sure there are some members of that group in here that might have the emails. I believe we're waiting from a response from general mills but the new cocoa puff and trix boxes do not list wheat starch as an ingrediant.

let's just keep our fingers crossed that the big time companies are finally hooking us up....i'll try to keep y'all posted about this when i hear any new info

I used to LOVE cocoa puffs! That would be great. Cocoa pebbles are just too, I don't know, pebble-y for me.

Here are some of the e-mails.....aparently General Mills has stated yes, these are gluten free

Actually, I have called General Mills to inquire about the gluten-free status

of Cocoa Puffs...and I did this before making the initial posting.

I have been waiting to have a box of Trix that appears to be gluten-free on

hand before I call General Mills, so that I can verify the correct bar

code, expiry date, etc., as they have needed this information when I

contacted them about the Islandberry Crunch and Cocoa Puffs cereals.

C

I haven't called but I have the cocoa puffs here in the house and they are as gluten-free as any other gluten-free thing we have on our shelf. The website still has the old ingredients list. I'm assuming that this is because some of the old packages are still on the shelf? My son has been eating them since Saturday and has had absolutely no reaction. Well, except that sugar high. ;-)

God Bless.

I did, Laura, contact General Mills. I made sure before I posted it to the board. I have

not, though, phoned about Trix because I don't have a box with the

correct bar code, expiry date, etc.

You just have to check each box by reading the ingredients, just to

make sure.

Thank you for contacting General Mills regarding gluten in our our cereal.

It is our goal to help our consumers determine whether or not they can include our products in their diet. To accurately accomplish this, we believe it is best to refer to the specific ingredients listed on each product package.

However, we do understand that ingredients can be confusing, so we want to assure you if the ingredient label does not list wheat, barley, rye, oats or gluten containing ingredients sourced from these grains, then the product would be gluten-free. Sources of gluten are listed on the label even if the source of gluten is part of another ingredient (such as flavoring or spice). Because ingredients may vary from one package to another due to product reformulation, you should use the product’s ingredient label to provide you with current and accurate information.

Additional information regarding gluten may be obtained by contacting your health care professional or:

We hope this information is helpful.

Sincerely,

so basically cocoa puffs and trix are gluten free and you have to be VERY careful and read the box!!!!!!!

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
