More importantly than the box stating gluten free, does anyone know if they process wheat cereals in the same facility where they process gluten free Trix? If so I would not touch it.

I personally would call the company before you eat it to make sure they have dedicated lines.

I was thinking the same thing myself. I'd love to eat mainstream cereal again (and so would my son) but would I dare eat gluten-free Trix if it's processed on the same lines as regular Trix? Am I being too rigid and unnecessarily overly cautious thinking like this?

There is no regular trix any more. They changed the formulation. If you eat fruity or cocca pebbles it is the same risk as those. My daughter and I tried the Trix today and did not get sick. We both usually react quite easily.

Even if there is no Trix with gluten anymore, though, does that plant process wheat baring cereals? If so, Trix might be produced on the same lines as cereals with wheat. Some people would not chance that.

I'm sure whomever makes Trix makes a bunch of other cereals as well.

Of course your risk is the same with Fruity Pebbles.

Unless the company uses a dedicated line...that's why I say if you're concerned you should call.

I called about the Trix (since I really did find a box with out Wheat Starch) and they say that the line is washed down everyday and that they don't mix cereal types (meaning that they dedicate 1 day to Trix only) but if you are suspicious about how well they wash down the line...that's another thing all together.

I am going to eat it for a few days and if I don't get sick I will let the girls try some.

Mine was a "gluten-free" box and I got sick. I def. think that it was from cross contamination. I am extremely sensitive to gluten. I would love to eat main stream cereal but it is to much of a risk for me to take.

Anyway my little brother was happy when I handed him the box of brand new trix that I tryed. :P

Yeah, I will stay away from it myself. I don't eat things that aren't processed in a gluten free facility. I always end up with a tummy ache. That's why I quit eating Fruity Pebbles even though they are so good! I don't trust their processing. There's just too much risk of cross contamination for me:( I do miss cereal, though.

Are you sure you seen gluten-free Trix? I just looked today at boxes dated 30-DEC-2006 and they all listed "flour" in the first few ingredients.

I saw them. It might have said corn flour (which I was told was okay) but yesterday at the store I only saw the gluten kind, I think the gluten free boxes are few and far between until the old ones are gone.

Yeah it says CORN ( whole grain corn, flour, meal)

I called the company and they said the ones that say WHEAT STARCH are not gluten free (duh :rolleyes: ) but the ones without it are.

I haven't gotten sick yet.....

OH, when I saw flour in that line I put it far way and moved on LOL. Just a Gluten induced reflex. :) Sorry, guess we have them to then since thats what all the boxes say! (yes I checked them all LOL )

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Is this celiac?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person.  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months.  Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl.  Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover.  It will hit your Lympatic system and spread  through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn't checked close enough.  the Pharmacuticals change vendors all the time.
