The Trix has "Wheat Starch" - Doesn't that have Gluten? :unsure:

The Coco Puffs indeed look to be Gluten Free - :)

EXCEPT for the Cross Contamination issue - but I, personally, am not that concerned about that. I GOTTA EAT SOMETHING!!!! (I eat Capt Crunch which has no inherent gluten, but Quaker says could have cross contamination issues).

Be nice! I have to read labels 2 3, sometimes 4 times at the stores!!

Try Silk Soymilk if you can have soy, its a great dairy substitute. Even before going df I found it to be better tasting!

I thought Cap'n Crunch had oat flour. It does in Canada. Everytime I go to the grocery I check corn and rice based cereals and they always have malt or oat flour in them.

I just came from the Super Market - Fredericksburg, Virginia, USA, Giant Foods.

The TRIX (a different looking box than the "reduced sugar" one that was photographed here).

It does not have Wheat Starch or Malt Flavoring. But it DOES have whole grain oats - which do not seem to bother me. I also checked others by General Mills (Coco Puffs, Lucky Charms, etc) - it was hit and miss with ingredients. But Oats - either whole grain or as "flour" was pretty consistent.

I've been told that oats are ok and that the cross contamination varies greatly......and some are that sensitive that it bothers them and some are not. I'm still trial and erroring.

It appears to me that just about every food that I like COULD have cross contamination or wheat or gluten.

I have to eat something other than a hamburger patty (100% pure beef) with a slice of cheese on it!

I've been noticing that Fruit on the Botton Yogurt by both Dannon and Giant are gluten free and eat those and any other yogurts I can find with no stated hidden potential problem substances.

Most of the Dorito's, Tostitos, Lays/Utz potato chips are good to go (see the list posted previously). But I'm supposed to limit iodine (so too much salt).

I found TACO shells and Tortillas tonight both with and without wheat. Same brand, differing ingredients.

I also found cocktail sauce for shrimp both with and without "suspicious" stuff.

Are "emulsifiers" ok?

Trying very hard, but having hard time. Losing weight tho. :unsure:

The cocoapuffs have as an ingredient 'natural and artificial flavouring'. Isn't that a potential gluten source?

Yes, but in this case it General Mills and they will list any gluten soruces so its okay.

don't feel bad, I bought the same box a couple weeks back and ate it once or twice and felt a little odd afterwards, thinking it was my mind. Well I reread the labels and saw Wheat Starch towards the bottom....hmm I feel like an idiot because I completly missed it the first time I read the label....oh well. I will keep munching on my neoPets cereal and those frosted Perky O's.

      is my cleiac disease gone?

      By numike · Posted

      Thank you for the reply In the early 2000's I did not have the endoscopy nor the biopsy I do not have those initial records I have only consulted a GI drs in the USA

      is my cleiac disease gone?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there is still a lot we don't know and celiac disease continues to surprise us with new findings on a frequent basis. So, we would not advise you to abandon a strict gluten-free diet. Perhaps you can draw consolation from the fact that at the present time you seem to be able to consume gluten without consequences when in situations where you do not have the option to eat gluten-free. But I would advise you to not generalize your recent experience such that you throw caution to the wind. But I want to go back to what you said about being diagnosed by blood test in the early 2000's. Did you not also have that confirmed with an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel lining? Normally, a celiac disease diagnosis is not concluded based on a blood test alone because there can be false positives. What kind of doctor did this testing? Was it done in the U.S. or overseas? In the last few years, it has become common in the U.K. to grant a celiac diagnosis from blood testing alone if the antibody test scores are 10x normal or greater. But that practice has not caught on in the U.S. yet and was not in place internationally in the early 2000's. Do you have a record of the tests that were done, the scores and also the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the tests?

      is my cleiac disease gone?

      By numike · Posted

      Check out this celiac story  I was diagnosed early 2000s with the blood test  since then I have for the most part maintained a gluten-free diet  Recently (August 2025) I drove from Southern Illinois to Lake Erie Ohio On the drive back I was extremely hungry and I had a coupon at a hamburger chain and I stopped and forgot to request gluten-free bun etc and quickly consumed two hamburgers. I promptly ate both of them and had absolutely no problem since then I've been eating plenty of gluten  Is my celiac gone?  Insert: No, celiac disease cannot just end because there is no cure for it; however, a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet allows the small intestine to heal and symptoms to go away. To manage the condition effectively, you must strictly avoid all sources of gluten, including wheat, barley, and rye, which are common in the American diet. Sticking to the diet can lead to significant symptom improvement and intestinal healing, but it requires ongoing commitment and monitoring with a healthcare professional  Regarding medical test I had My stools analyzed Giardia Ag Cryptosporidium Ag and they came back negative  I had the lactulose test and it came back high so I'm on two weeks of heavy antibiotics That still has not stopped me from eating gluten. Here's what I think is going on and I hope to have your opinion regarding it  Since I've been gluten-free for so long my intestinal tract has repaired itself consequently anything I eat with gluten now just bounces right off with no damage to my gut  however  when I asked AI what was going on the reply was celiac has not gone away and  if I continue to eat gluten I'm going to have problems   I look forward to your sage advice as to what the heck is going on with me Thank you for reading Mike 09112025

      I agree, and generally it means that it isn't working in a high enough percentage of participants to continue pursuing it.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”
