Do you know if the new coco cereal is casein free as well as gluten free? I looked at the ingredients and it didnt say it had milk ingredients in it which I thought all the food manufacturers had to put on the boxes starting 1/06. But I did notice some risky ingredients that might contain casein or milk products. Anyone know for sure? It would sur ebe cool if it was GFDF, but I dont think I would buy it for a coupel more months just because of the risk of cross contamination.

Thanks for the word! Just is it casein free?

I do not *know*, but since this is a new label create post-1/2006 it should list milk if it was in there.

Terps--I just got back from WalMart--my hairdryer conked out on me today :angry: . Anyway, I read the Cocoa Puffs label--it had a date of 2006 under the address and did not list any allergens. I looked thru the ingredients and did not see anything that would indicate dairy or gluten. The box said 'more chocolatey taste' on the front.

Yes Vincent--exactly like that! :D But I was really answering the question of whether or not it had casein. ;) I wanted to be sure and describe the box so there was no misunderstanding.

Wow, that sounds pretty good, actually. I've had bad experiences with odd cereal treats (dorm used to make them out of whatever stale cereal they had leftover), but with the addition of pb, sounds awesome!

Okay guys, I was in my grocery store the other day holding a box of the NEW Trix (no wheat starch listed on the ingredient panel). I called just to make sure they were gluten free and the idiot on the phone told me that they were NOT gluten free because it had this listed "corn (whole grain, flour, meal)" as an ingredient. I asked her doesn't that just mean corn flour? She said no, it means flour. So what do you guys think? Was the lady just an idiot or does it have wheat flour in it? I didn't buy it because I was so mad, but I would really like to have some Trix.

NO thats not the gluten-free trix.

The only gluten-free Trix I found say "75% less sugar" on the front, and "flour" is NOT in the ingredients.

I have a box of Trix that I thought was gluten-free and it says the same thing. I also assumed it meant CORN flour because of the way it is listed:

"Corn (whole grain corn, flour, meal), Sugar....."

I haven't eaten it yet though.... not sure what to do now!

PS - for people who like Chocolate & PB - I mix Cocoa Puffs and Envirokids PB Panda Puffs together - YUM! :P

Nope, this was one of the new boxes. I confirmed that on the phone. I assumed that it meant corn flour, but the lady argued with me. I imagine they're probably safe, but she certainly didn't say so. The old Trix used to have wheat starch listed as an ingredient, not wheat flour. This box DID NOT have wheat starch listed on the ingredients, just "corn (whole grain, flour, meal), blah blah". It seams to me that it means "whole grain corn, corn flour, corn meal", but I called just to be safe. Actually, this wasn't one of the boxes that says 75% less sugar. Those boxes all had wheat starch. There were three different style boxes available and the lady assured me that I had picked up the most recent formulation.

I think you're right, Guhlia--it looks like all corn to me.

WHAT DO NATURAL FLAVORS CONSIST OF? WHAT IS THE GLUTEN PROBLEM IN THEM? NEW AT THIS!!

It could possibly be derived from gluten. Natural flavoring is usually ok but you have to check to be sure unless its a brand that won't hide anything. Do you have a list of brands that will not hide any gluten? Do you have the list of things that gluten can hide under?

I have TWO of the boxes here, neither say flour at all on them, nor any wheat. Prehaps I should take more pictures? :D If they did I would not buy them. As far as I have been able to find wth the trix only the very newest 75% sugar free ones no longer have gluten in them

Katie: THis is a General Mills company, so no worries about the natural flavors.

THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE. NO, I DO NOT HAVE A LIST OF HIDDEN GLUTEN. I HAVE LEARNED MORE FROM THESE POSTS THAN FROM ANYWHERE ELSE. I HAD A KIDNEY TRANSPLANT JUNE OF 05. MY DAUGHTER WAS MY DONOR(29 YEARS OLD). I STILL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH OXALATES. CALCIUM OXALATE IS THE MOST COMMON FORM OF KIDNEY STONE. I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING A DIET WHICH IS LOW IN OXALATES, MEANING I AVOID CHOCOLATE, TEA, SPINACH ETC. TO TRY TO FIND OUT WHY I HAD THESE OXALATES, I WAS IN A RESEARCH PROGRAM ATHE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS SOUTHWESTERN IN DALLAS. THE DOCTORS WERE TESTING FOR MALABSORPTION FROM CELIAC SPRUE. THE TESTING WAS INCONCLUSIVE, BUT I WAS PUT ON A GLUTEN FREE DIET. MUCH OF MY GASTRO PROBLEM IMPROVED. I AM SCHEDULED FOR A BIOPSY VERY SOON, AND THEN ANOTHER 5 OR 6 DAYS BACK IN THE HOSPITAL FOR FOLLOW UP.

GLUTEN FREE PRODUCTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN THE NEAREST TOWN TO ME. I AM TRYING TO EDUCATE MYSELF AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. BEING ON BOTH OF THESE DIETS GETS CONFUSING.....THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE INFORMATION FOUND HERE.....

Yes please, Vincent... :) If I can't have the real thing here, at least I could drool over the ingredients of your box... :D I actually would like to see it so I know what I"m looking for next time because the box I saw that said 75% less sugar had wheat starch listed as one of the ingredients way down at the bottom.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After...

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      On the AIP diet, all processed foods are eliminated. This includes gluten-free bread. You'll be eating meats and vegetables, mostly. Meats that are processed, like sausages, sandwich meats, bacons, chicken nuggets, etc., are eliminated as well. Veggies should be fresh, or frozen without other ingredients like sauces or seasonings. Nightshade vegetables...

      When I accidentally consume gluten it compromises the well-being of my heart and arteries. Last time I had a significant exposure, about six months ago, I had AFib for about ten days.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After having my last baby this year, my body has finally started to find its new rhythm and balance...but things started to feel out of sorts. A lot of symptoms were convoluted with postpartum symptoms, and, to top it all off, my cycle came back about 4m postpartum. I was having reoccurring migraines, nausea, joint pain, numbness in my right arm, hand and fingers, tummy problems, hives. I finally went to my PCP in August just for a wellness check and I brought up my ailments. I'm so thankful for a doctor that listens and is thorough. He ended up running a food allergy panel, an environmental respiratory panel, and a celiac panel. I found out I was allergic to wheat, allergic to about every plant and dust mites, and I did have celiac. I had an endoscopy done on October 3 and my results confirmed celiac in the early stages! I am truly blessed to have an answer to my issues. When I eat gluten, my brain feels like it's on fire and like someone is squeezing it. I can't think straight and I zone out easily. My eyes can't focus. I get a super bad migraine and nausea. I get so tired and irritable and anxious. My body hurts sometimes and my gut gets bloated, gassy, constipated, and ends with bowel movements. All this time I thought I was just having mom brain or feeling the effects of postpartum, sleep deprivation, and the like (which I probably was having and the celiac disease just ramped it up!) I have yet to see a dietician but I've already been eating and shopping gluten-free. My husband and I have been working on turning our kitchen 100% gluten-free (we didn't think this would be so expensive but he assured me that my health is worth all the money in the world). There are still a few things to replace and clean. I'm already getting tired of reading labels. I even replaced some of my personal hygiene care for myself and the kids because they were either made with oats or not labeled gluten-free. I have already started feeling better but have made some mistakes along the way or have gotten contamination thrown into the mix. It's been hard! Today I joked that I got diagnosed at the worst time of the year with all the holidays coming up. I will just need to bring my own food to have and to share. It will be okay but different after years of eating "normally". Today I ordered in person at Chipotle and was trying not to feel self-conscious as the line got long because they were following food-allergy protocols. It's all worth it to be the healthiest version of myself for me and my family. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little overwhelmed and a little overloaded!  I am thankful for this community and I look forward to learning more from you all. I need the help, that's for sure!

      Thank you for responding and for prayers.  So sorry for your struggles, I will keep you in mine.  You are so young to have so many struggles, mine are mild by comparison.  I didn't have Celiac Disease (celiac disease) until I had my gallbladder removed 13 years ago; at least nothing I was aware of.  Following surgery: multiple symptoms/oddities appeared including ridges on fingernails, eczema, hair falling out in patches, dry eyes, upset stomach constantly and other weird symptoms that I don't really remember.  Gastro did tests and endoscopy and verified celiac disease. Re heart: I was born with Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) and an irregular heartbeat, yet heart was extremely strong.  It was difficult to pick up the irregular heartbeat on the EKG per cardiologist.  I had Covid at 77, recovered in 10 days and 2 weeks later developed long Covid. What the doctors and nurses called the "kickoff to long Covid, was A-fib.  I didn't know what was going on with my heart and had ignored early symptoms as some kind of passing aftereffect stemming from Covid.  I was right about where it came from, but wrong on it being "passing".  I have A-fib as my permanent reminder of Covid and take Flecainide every morning and night and will for the rest of my life to stabilize my heartbeat.
