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.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
