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!

Woooo Hoooo!! Thanks for calling, I tried this AM before I left for school but they weren't open yet. Glad I got the info when I got home :) I can still have my sugary cereal ha

-Jessica :rolleyes:

VERFIED WITH KRAFT DIRECTLY AS OF THIS POST NORMAL COCOA AND FURITY PEBBLES ARE STILL GLUTEN FREE NO CHANGE HAS BEEN MADE.

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.

Cool! I will have to look that up and see what it is.

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:

We get them at Kroger (normal food store), but they are actaully cheaper at Wild Oats... just dont get out there much.

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. :(

Kellogg's Rice Krispies are NOT gluten-free . Sorry. :(

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.

Word on the street is the new boxes of Cocoa Puffs and Trix are gluten free....but you have to read the box carefully to make sure you have the newer version

WOW! Where did you hear this? Any dates?

Mahee34 Enthusiast

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.

Well the ingredents on tis page:

List Flour in trix, so either that old info, or Trix at least is not gluten-free.

And on this page

Open Original Shared Link

Coca pufs list oats.

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!!!!!!!

      I did suffer with gastric symptoms before diagnosis, but got all sorts of weird and wacky symptoms after going gluten free.   Things got much better once my antibodies fell to normal levels, but it took years (please don't panic, many people's go to normal levels relatively quickly when following a gluten-free diet). Causes of the symptoms you mention that I also experienced were iron supplements, a temporary dairy intolerance (this is common in coeliacs and should pass when your gut heals properly), and eating oats, as mentioned above.  Other symptoms I got were musculoskeletal pain after diagnosis, but again, once my coeliac blood tests were normal, I had no more pain. I did notice patterns emerging in foods that I reacted to and learned to steer clear of them, then gradually reintroduced them when my gut healed, such as soya, pure oats and dairy products.    You might like to keep a food diary.

      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac? 
    • Pasballard
      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.
    • growlinhard1
      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.
