Does anyone know if Cocoa Krispies are gluten free? I read the label and it lists "Malt Flavoring" I assume that's not ok. But does anyone know forsure ???

Thanks,

Sarah

Malt comes from barley, so it's definitley a nono, sorry....

Cocoa pebbles are gluten-free though! :)

Is this true? Cocoa pebbles are really gluten-free? There is really a mainstream junk food cereal that is gluten-free? I didn't know that! I am so excited!

Thank you!

I have a serious texture issues when it comes to cereal! Since childhood, I'm 42 now, I've loved Cocoa Krispies and I don't gag on them like most cereals. I was thrilled that Chex is gluten-free, but I gag after a few bites. My husband came home tonight with a box of fruity pebbles and and as always I went to read the ingredient list. He took the box from me and turned it around to expose the big GLUTEN FREE tag. You would've thought I was 5 yrs old! Fruity pebbles is the other cereal I can eat without gagging!! Hopefully Cocoa Krispies becomes gluten-free soon since I'm not too fond of the taste of Cocoa Pebbles.

Welcome Lisa :)

You may want to try Envirokidz Kaola Crisp Cereal. The cocoa flavor is more mild than some of the other chocolate cereals, but does have a similar texture to rice crispies - might be worth a shot.

Also, just so you know - you are replying to an old thread - the original poster hasn't logged in for six years and is not likely to see your response.

Thank you! I think I'll give the Envirkidz a try! My problem is when a cereal becomes soggy quick. I'm not a huge cereal eater, but it nice to have one for the occasional craving.

Thanks for the heads up on this being an old post; I noticed that before replying but thought if someone else stumbled across this topic when using google as I did that it might help. Obviously I'm new to the site and so far absolutely loving it :-)!!!!

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
