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 )

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these genes can also be present in the normal population. Testing performed by SSOP.  So google failed me.  I think these results basically say I have genes, but everybody has these genes so this test was just to confirm that there is a vague possibility?  Maybe this test result explains why I do not have the horrible symptoms most individuals with celiac have?  I told the GI my assumption is that I am just gluten intolerant since I do not have the pain? So maybe this test explains why I have antibodies?” To me it reads.that you carry the high risk HLADQ2.5 haplotype.

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?
