New Dora The Explorer Cereal

I just stumbled upon this at the grocery store today. I had never seen it before. It is corn based no ingredients contain gluten. I read the label many times and even called General Mills and they confirmed that they do not "hide" gluten and it would be clearly stated as wheat, oat, barely, or rye.

I just though I would pass this along because I'm sure there are some other little Dora fanatics out there who would love this cereal as much as I'm sure my little ones will!!

You can always get excited of gluten-free mainstream cereal!

Do you know anything about CC issues? Does it share a line with gluten cereals? I hate to put a damper on everyone's excitement, I'm just a little concerned because I'm sure they make many gluten cereals in the same facility...

It is very good to know, though, that there is a mainstream cereal that my daughter might be able to eat!! She's not too crazy about the EnviroKidz cereals (although I like them!) and there sure isn't much else for kids!

I don't know about the cc issues, but if it isn't a problem, that would be great. Most of the cereals that are "mainstream" that my niece can eat have sugar as a first or second ingredient, I think. (At least this one it's third on the list...).

So the list is growing...Trix, Cocoa Puffs and now Dora. Has anyone had any luck getting through on the cross contamination issue? My son hates Envirokidz and he'd jump at a chance to eat a mainstream cereal, even in the shape of Dora.

My kids like Environkids cereal. They are 7 and 4 years old. They are my kids that can have gluten, but they like them. I will have to try these on my two year old.

I really don't know about the CC issues, but I kind of figured that if people were ok with Trix and Cocoa Puffs which are also General Mills, that this Dora cereal would be the same kind of thing. Also, Post has non-gluten-free cereals and Fruity Pebbles are ok, right?

I did notice on the box that it doesn't even have the disclaimer "This product was produced on shared lines with products that may contain wheat, etc....."

So I fed it to Ella tonight and we'll see!! <_<

So is that replacing Islandberry Crunch?

I was glutened pretty badly by the GM Neopets cereal <_< .

I'm sure it was CC because I'd already eaten several boxes of the stuff, over 3-4 months, and not had any problem then I opened a new box and got sick. I cleared my diet of all possible suspect foods and then reintroduced them, the Neopets caused an immediate reaction. In a facility that produces both gluten and gluten-free stuff all it takes is one lazy worker, one mistake, one line that wasn't totally washed down and boom.

Sorry I'm such a party pooper, but I'm trying to be a non-pooper! :P

My kids like envirokidz but we can't eat panda puffs anymore because of the soybean oil, cheetah chomps has oats. I don't think they tried koala crisps and they like the amazon flakes ok. They love the panda treats though.

It is in the shape of little stars. I'm so glad that some of you have gotten to try some. Ella and Jack love it too. It's funny because when we usually see kid cereal at the store I hurry by before Ella has a chance to notice whatever character is on it and don't usually even bother reading labels because they're almost never gluten-free. For whatever reason I looked yesterday and it was a great surprise!

I thought Trix had wheat starch in it? I've seen a couple of references to it being OK on this site. Is there a variety that doesn't?

I believe that they have changed their recipe. You have to make sure that you buy the new boxes. I checked my grocery store and they list wheat starch as an ingredient so they still have the old version.

I bought three boxes of it yesterday. :D And yes, I'm 23 years old. :P I love being able to buy "normal" cereal every once in a while and I hate fruitty and cocoa pebbles (wayyyy to sugary for me.) YAY!

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
