Corn Pops - Ingredient Change

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!

      Could my infant son have been glutened? Hear me out.

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition with a genetic base. The the potential for developing the disease is inherited. but remains latent until triggered by some stress event. Thus, there is an epigenetic component to celiac disease. Once the genes are awakened from dormancy, celiac reactions are triggered by the ingestion of gluten.

      Newbie possible glutening help

      By Beeroney · Posted

      Hi all, just ticked over into my first year gluten-free after being diagnosed last October and feeling a bit rough after a possible glutening. Diagnosed at the ripe age of 38, never been ill in my life before this so safe to say my health anxiety is now borderline unmanageable. I think I may have been glutened a week ago, since then I’ve had that familiar hot/burning feeling in my gut, gas, bloating and all the Bristol Stool chart types in one sitting. I know people are different but does this sound familiar to anyone? Stomach was churning like mad last weekend like it did when I first ill before diagnosis. Acid reflux(which was my first symptom way back when) also reared its ugly head, which I probably the worst symptoms imo. Anxiety is probably up more so as I’m leaving on holiday to USA in 3 weeks time, which would be pretty much ruined if my guts are still messed by the time we leave.  Any words of wisdom appreciated    Bryan

      This doesn't answer your question but I'm not sure if you know that this intolerance is passed down from mother to child through Cord blood and or breast milk.

      I’m having this type of MRI this afternoon,  What specifically do you want to know?  From what I’ve read, not all facilities use the same drink prep.

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄
