Cocoa Puffs Now Contain Wheat!

We got a new box of cocoa puffs the other day, and didn't notice until we got home that they now contain wheat! :angry::angry:

They did label the box properly acording to the new regulations. They even put a small box under the ingredients in bright blue background with white letters (in contrast with the brown/white box) that indicated that change, and caught our attention well as it started with ATTENTION ALLERGIC CONSUMERS

Be warned, always check your labels every time, even on the brands you know are OK becuase things always change!!

My understanding is that cocoa pebbles are still safe.

As far as the cocoa puffs are concerned they were unsafe, then the formula changed and they were safe and then yet another change and they are unsfe again! :huh: Just goes to show that we need to read every label, I learned this the hard way!

Oh man, that sucks =(

i don't know, i had to give up cocoapuffs when i went gluten free too (I gave them to the dog, it was a sad day :0).

It was because of the maltodextrin... could that be why they added the celiacs beware to their label? I know maltodextrin contains gluten, maybe it contains wheat too....

hmmm...

:unsure:

Maltodextrin is safe. It contains no gluten or wheat.

My understanding is that maltodextrin while sounding dangerous is actually gluten-free in the US. I believe they started adding wheat flour to the cereal?

Maltodextrin is safe. It is not a source of gluten.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      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! 🫶
