Corn Pops - Ingredient Change


mobame

Recommended Posts

Corn pops cereal has changed their formula. I found this out by random coincidence, and luckily did not get sick first. The new boxes, which have Spiderman 2 on the label, contain wheat starch. There is no indication on the box cover that they have changed the recipe. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up, as my dietician had told me corn pops are the only gluten-free cereal the major brands make (other than puffed rice) so I figure a lot of celiac people probably eat them. :angry: darn those kellog's people.

Post Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Puffs are also gluten-free. They started adding wheat starch in January of 2004.

The dietician should be more careful to check on cross-contamination issues--Corn Pops never were 100% gluten-free according to the person I spoke to there in summer 2003, who told me they were quite possibly cross-contaminated with gluten even though they didn't specifically add gluten to the product.

I was confused by Molly's post about Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles. She says they are gluten-free, but then says they started adding wheat starch in January.

Anyway, a quick look at the boxes shows no wheat starch listed, and these are Kraft products so any wheat starch would be clearly listed. These cereals are still gluten-free, although I assume they are made in a facility with lots of gluten.

Hi!

Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles are safe! They never contained anything that was wheat related!

Pops were the one where wheat was added in January. Just to clear the air.

I am glad to hear that fruity/cocoa pebbles are gluten-free. I am new at this and was wondering if the carmel color is safe. I have noticed it in this product and many others. Thanks for any advise!

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
