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 purchased a box of Trix not containing Wheat last weekend at my grocery store. I was excited just to have sweet cereal.

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.

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
