Cocoa Puffs

Hi, just thought I would send out the warning. I realized this summer that Cocoa Puffs did not contain wheat so I was allowing my son to eat them as a treat. He was very excited to be able to eat what his cousins could eat. My husband picked up a box this weekend and I was just looking at them (apparently he didn't :angry: ). It says contains wheat at the bottom of the ingredients and then under that in blue there is a warning to food allergic people that it "now contain wheat". I know cocoa puffs is not necessary in their diet but I just feel bad that there goes another food he was able to eat. I feel like complaining but what good would that do?

You can complain, others have already, but it won't do any good. They already took into consideration the fact that they would be throwing away your patronage when they made the decision to try to scam more non-celiacs into thinking that they have made Cocoa Puffs a "multi-grain" cereal (according to some bizarre new government definition).

Yes DO complain. It DOES make a difference. If enough ppl complain, and they think thier sales will be impacted, they will change.

I agree, and let your local group know so they can complain, too. We're a big group, we should be able to make a difference!!

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.
