Any "regular Cereal"

[abigail]

hi, everybody, i'm trying really hard on finding "regular things" that are gluten free.

(I hate to pay double price just because there is a big "gluten free" thing on the box).

Im doing very good whit walmart products and Publix product (I send them an email to publix, and they send me a very big list of their gluten free products).,

but the thing is none of them include any cereal and thats what my son eats every morning.

so... the question is: any "regular" cereal that is gluten free (and whit no posible cross contamination?)

thx to evrebody!!

The only "regular" cereals that I've found that are gluten-free are some of the kid cereals and they are so full of junk I don't want to eat them anyway. My daughter however, likes Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles, and we get Nature's Path Mesa Sunrise and Nature's Path Corn Flakes. Envirokids cereals are also some of my daughter's faves... and since places like Publix and WalMart are starting to carry them, the price isn't that bad.

I thought I herd somthing about the fruity pebbles not being gluten free anymore? We buy the cocoa pepples though. We also get one called dora cereal that someone on here mentioned....I hope they were right and I can't find anything bad on the lable but i am new at this...they are little rice stars with cinnamon.....I wasn't that fond of them but my 5 year old daughter loves them. Other than that we do buy some of the enviro kids cereals. We bought frosted perkios and my husband and I hated them but once again our daughter loves them. It would be nice though if some of the main stream "normal" cereals would make some things gluten free. It's disapointing to find all the corn and rice based cereals are bad.

I just bought a box of Enviro Kidz Amazon frosted flakes at Meijer for $2.99. They are good as well!

The box I bought last Friday was ... but it's always a good idea to read the box every time ... after all, they changed the Cocoa Puffs recipe with no warning!

I just noticed that about Cocoa Puffs. I'd been buying them for my daughter and when I went to pick up some more, I checked the label like normal and saw WHEAT. I was so mad I could have thrown a serious tantrum right there in the store!

As for Cocoa Puffs I think they must make them in two different locations. I have went in to the same grocery store one day, and find one without wheat, and then a week later, I will go in, and see one with wheat. I don't think its "old" versus "new" as each time I check, the exp. date is moving forward, but sometimes the labels have wheat, and some show it doesn't

Kind of odd, for a product to actually be different in ingredients. I've just been afraid to buy it, as I always wonder if the ones that don't show wheat truly are gluten free.

That, and my fear of walking down the cereal aisle... I'm also afraid to go over by the bakery/bread area. But then I'm Mr. paranoid... I make my wife go check out the cereals for me...

hi, and thanks to evrebody, I ve just bought a couples of dora post cereal , cocoa , fruity and frosty pebbles in supertarget (hanna I hope you have one close). I checked the ingrdients and all were ok.

But you know what?, I called to the companies anyway, and while Kraft is telling us to check the labes (read as: dont call for evrey single product); I think that they relly need to compromise as I told to the kind lady who answer the phone and Write GLUTEN FREE on the labels, because maybe I know how to read labels but Im lucky and when I go to my mothers house, or brother or friends they want to buy products to feed my son that wont make him sick and they dont know how to read labels.............

anyway maybe, just maybe if we keep calling the 1000 times a day theyll realize that we are a few with the same needs, and whay to pay to 3 ladies answering the phone when thay can write it on the boxes,.....

i dont know, maybe because im new in this........

anyway, thx again!!!!
