Okay, so I just got back from the store expecting to buy my first box of Trix cereal since going gluten-free and I am going down the list reading the ingredients and BAM.....I see wheat starch? :blink:

I dont get it, I thought that it was on Clan Thompson's mini list?

I did just buy my first box of fruity pebbles though....they were good but i wanted trix <_<

Anyone else have this problem

Mini--I've never seen Trix on any gluten-free lists. Of course, I could have missed something :ph34r:

The Clan Thompson mini list was apparently just a "sample" and is full of innacuracies. I've seen a few notices about the Clan Thompson mini list about things being incorrectly listed either as gluten-free when they are not, or not gluten-free when they actually are. You have to buy the Clan Thompson list to get the most accurate info.

There is GLUTEN FREE TRIX as reported by a few ppl onthis forum, but so far it has only been found in the small mini boxes, and not in the full sized boxes.

The rumor out of Generl Mills is they are CHANGING the trix forumla, just like they just changed cocoa puffs to be gluten free. I personlay have eaten gluten free cocoa puffs, but have not seen the trix yet.

I looked at the Trix at the grocery store last night and we very nearly missed the wheat starch in the very bottom of the ingredients. I can't wait for a gluten-free version, my daughter will be sooooo happy.

I too have located the gluten-free Trix - ShopRite on Route 9 in Morganville, NJ. It's a 17 oz. box with a promo for Great Adventure on the front. The ingredients panel has a 2006 copyright date.

I cant believe I forgot to look today when I was in Kroger!!! UGH. Might have to drive down there tommorow! :lol:

The lst time I looked the boxes on the shelf were dated OCT2006 and still had wheat starch in the ingredients. That was few days ago.

I found some Lucky Charms that were safe in the big box. The smaller box said wheat starch. Does anyone eat Lucky Charms? They were ok for my dd.

ok - This is bizzarre, I don't like kids cereal. I had a dream last night that I found a mini box of Trix in a friends kitchen that was gluten free, and was hiding from them in their apartment trying to eat the trix before they found me and realized I was eating thier cereal. Can it get weirder?

I blame this thread.

Nope your 100% correct. They are an oat based cearel, its the first ingredient in them.

okay, so today at church I read a box of Trix and didn't see Wheat starch in them, but hubby has a box at home that does have wheat starch in them, did I miss the wheat starch in the one at church? are there some gluten free trix?

I called the children's minister and she is going to re-read them for the 50th time to see for sure, but we read and re-read, and then read them again today and even read them out loud to another person and nobody heard any gluten ingredients. :unsure:

I am so confused, I got so excited gluten free trix, and then I get home and :angry:

I just bought a few boxes of gluten-free Trix today since they were on sale at my local grocery store for $2 a box!! anyway, the copyright just says 2006 and they expire Jan 13, 2007. This is the first time I've found them and I've been looking for a long time. This is a new box with a DVD Game included and shown through on the front of the box. It's a DVD trivia game called "Scene It?". I re-read the ingredients multiple times and there is NO wheat starch listed. I haven't fed it to my kids yet though.

Just wanted to pass that along!

wow. thanks, I am going to re-read the box at church again, but my friend was up there a few hours ago and re-read it and still says she doesn't see wheat starch. I wonder how many times I will read the box before I believe it LOL :lol:

I couldn't care less about the Trix or Fruity Pebbles (even though I'm glad there are some mainstream cereals I can eat).... I miss my Cinnamon Life! I loved that stuff. I salivate looking at a box of it or thinking about it. It's torture.

I found a box today in MN!! The copy right on the box says 2006 and the exp date is jan. I read it 5 times in the store and I made my husband read it several times. I just had to look at it again! lol But it really does exist!

I have found gluten free boxes of Trix...but it's very hit and miss and they are mixed in with the older formula boxes, so I just have to sift through them. It's easier now that I know where the wheat starch is listed on the ingredient list, it's always near the bottom. Hope everyone can find them soon! It's really nice to have some mainstream cereal again, especially since Malt O Meal cereals are all off limits now.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
