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! :)

But I am glad to hear that your son has no problems.

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.

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
