Trix Cereal

I found the newer Trix cereal without gluten and bought it last night, along with the newer Cocoa Puffs. I held the box for a good hour debating with my huband why we shouldn't buy it. He won. I brought it home, and the only other times I'd seen my son this excited is during Christmas and his birthday. He literally ate half the box, while I cringed. I thought, well, what the heck. This poor kid doesn't even eat out anymore, I'll give this a try. It was great! No problems.

So this morning I decided to call General Mills to discuss the cc issue everyone was worrying about. They assured me that they clean their production lines REALLY WELL because they need to ensure that people aren't getting any of the major allergens in their food. So I'm not so worried anymore. I know barley, oats and rye aren't considered major allergens, but if they clean their lines really well for wheat, milk, peanuts, etc., and they aren't adding any wheat, barley, oats or rye to this cereal, then I must conclude that it's safe for our consumption! :)

Acutally it was pretty funny, the one morning that I tyred eating it, my little brother sat down and asked if he could have some. So I gave him some. Well, I got sick and ended up giving him the entire box. He was so excited that I gave him a box of cereal. It was so cute :)

Thanks for checking on this...I'll have to buy some Trix for my daughter. I just bought some Fruity Pebbles (but that's not GM is it?) and my kids were so excited.

It's funny that we used to be such "healthy" eaters - no sugar cereals in our house, and only whole wheat breads and we ended up sick. Now we have to eat sugar cereals and white (tapioca) bread to stay well!!

Go figure!!

We have not tired the trix yet, but Cocoa Puffs, Fuirty Pebbls, and Cocoa Pebbles all seem fine with my son so far...

are you sure it was the NEW trix? I haven't been able to find the NEW trix in any of my local grocery stores yet. They still have the old boxes that still have wheat starch in them.

yup yup i checked and double checked and then checked again. then my boyfriend checked and he double checked and then checked again.

Then my mom did also. Maybe I am just to sensitive.

But I live in Miller Place on Long Island and purchased both boxes at a Stop and Shop. They have them here. That stinks that they dont have it by you yet. Sorry

This may be kind of a silly question, but why are NEW Trix gluten-free and corn pops are not?

Are they not both the same thing?

Just curious.

minibabe - There's a chance you're allergic to the food dye. A cereal like Trix has a lot of food dye in it, more than you get with most food. So that could be causing a problem.

Nope.

Corn pops are made by Kellogs not General Mills so forumal chnages as GM would not effect them.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Is this celiac?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person.  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Is this celiac?

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months.  Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl.  Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover.  It will hit your Lympatic system and spread  through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn't checked close enough.  the Pharmacuticals change vendors all the time.
