Yeah! I found the Trix cereal without wrbo, now the only thing I am worried about is cross contamination. What are your thoughts? The Trix cereal is the one that is 75% less sugar. I bought it at Safeway in Lodi, California.

Thanks

Only time will tell, I am sure the early boxes will have a much higher risk then down the road though...

Not to sound ungrateful, but we'd like to see a "grown up taste" cereal, low in sugar that's gluten-free and perhaps has corn or rice bran in it. Can't have nuts, and too much roughage, so those gorilla munches are out.

Maybe like a Crispix (rice/corn cereal) type or a Kix type of cereal.

Haha!! I found Coca Puffs last night here in MN! It does say more chocolatey taste and the copy right on the package under the ingredients is 2006. The exp date is Sept. I just ate a bowl and I will let you know how I feel today!!

Are you saying that Trix & Coco Puffs are gluten-free? Did they change the ingredients in some way to make them gluten-free? Please fill us in.

Thanks,

Kevin

Kevin,

This is a change, Cocoa Puffs and Trix MIGHT be safe for us to eat. This is a NEW formula that has not hit all the stores yet. You HAVE to check the ingredinets on the boxes to see if you have the new formula yet. It seems to be boxes with and experiation date of STEPMBER 2006 or later that have the new formula.

There is some question bout CARMEL COLOR in cocoa puffs, but this is all still new and emerging information so be careful and treadwisly! :D

Are you sure that it does not contain wheat starch? I have a box with 75% less sugar, exp is sep 14 06, and the 4th ingredient from the last says wheat starch. I missed it at first, so i bought it. Just checking.

Vydor,

Thanks for the information. There is another post going on "Are they any real people cereal?" that is addressing the Coco Puff / Trix debate.

I hope Coco Puffs are gluten-free my kids eat them and now I can - hopefully. Kids haven't been tested yet. They have no symptoms and well be at their next Dr. visits

I too, hate "kid" cereal. I just don't like eating that much sugar, and if I am getting sugar, would much rather be enjoying a bag of M&M's.

Here's what I received today from GM in response to my question about the caramel color in the reformulated Cocoa Puffs possibly containing barley malt:

___________

Thank you for contacting General Mills concerning ingredients in our products. As manufacturers and consumers, we understand your concern about potential allergens in the foods you eat. Our primary goal is to provide accurate information; and we believe this is best accomplished by referring to the specific ingredients listed on each product package. This is the most current information for your needs.

If one of our products contains any of the top 8 allergens (peanuts, tree nuts, dairy products, eggs, soy, wheat, crustaceans, and fish) or if it contains sesame, sunflower or mollusks, that ingredient is always listed in the ingredient panel, and also in bold letters just below the list of ingredients. If a product is exposed to any of these allergens in the manufacturing facility the allergen will be listed in bold in the ‘Contains Statement’ just below the list of ingredients. This list is your ingredient assurance for that package. It is not intended for other packaging of the same product. Ingredients may vary from one package to another due to product reformulation. If you have allergy concerns, please read each package ingredient panel.

We hope this information helps you. You may also want to contact the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN) at 1-800-929-4040, or visit their web site at www.foodallergy.org. Although they cannot provide specific ingredient information regarding a particular product, they are a good resource to help in the management of your allergies and sensitivities.

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.

We appreciate your interest. Please contact us again with any further questions or comments.

Sincerely,

Kristi Goodman

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic.

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
