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.

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.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
