I was shopping this morning and I saw a new cereal on display. I checked it out, and it is gluten-free!!! It is "Disneys Little Einsteins Fruity Stars". There was another to. I don't remember the name of it cuz I didn't buy it. But it looked like Fruity rice crispies. They were both made by general mills. I was excited!

Just wanted to share so others can look for it for their kids! My dd loves it!

I am so excited! I LOVE cereal and I am so tired of eating the same stuff over and over. And I totally love cereal with marshmellows.

Has anyone heard of a General Mills cereal called Kaboom? It's on their website and appears to be gluten free. It's a corn based cereal with marshmallows in it. Yum! It sounds great. I really miss my Lucky Charms. Is General Mills one of those companies that will list any and all gluten?

I was curious about this cereal for my kids - but it says it is made with oat - I thought oat flour was something to avoid?

There are no oats or oat flour listed as an ingredient on general Mills' website: Open Original Shared Link.. I've never seen Kaboom. I thought maybe it was one of the brand new cereals.

I'm not sure about the cereal, but General Mills will list gluten ingredients. I LOVE the companies that do! The getting started list in my sig line (I know you don't need that) has a list of companies that do list gluten if that might be helpful.

I think GM is a company that will disclose on the label if the flavorings are derived from gluten, but I sent them an e-mail just to check. Also, someone mentioned seeing oat in the ingredient listing for the Kaboom cereal, but I didn't read that. Perhaps I'm missing it? Did anyone else see oat int he ingredients?

I bought both the Little Einsteins and the Mickey Mouse cereal the other day, it was on sale 1.60 a box. I opened Little Einsteins and it is very good.

I remember Kaboom from years ago, I believe I did see some recently, I'll let you know.

Amanda, if you see Kaboom anywhere near us, let me know! I'm dying to have a marshmallow cereal again. I really miss Lucky Charms. That was one of my favorites in my gluten days.

I bought the Mickey Mouse clubhouse cereal for Tori, but I haven't opened it yet. It just kind of looks like colored, flavored rice crispies without the malt flavoring.

I used to eat Kaboom when I was a "tween."

Maybe it's one of those geographic issues, LOL!

I will let you know, there are quite a few stores in Scranton that I shop at that carry different cereals you never see anywhere else.

how sure are y'all about the cereals being safe? has anyone gotten some sort of response from GM? i'm just wary, and want to know before i get my hopes up :unsure:

There are actually 3 cereals in this new release from GM, 2 of which are gluten free. Little Einsteins Stars and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. The Disney Princess Flakes are not gluten free!

You can order Kaboom through amazon...case of 4 boxes. For anyone who is in central Wisconsin area you can buy kaboom at Trig's.

Open Original Shared Link .com/General-Mills-KaBoom...5772969-7012628

Kaboom used to be made with oats...I checked general Mills website and box at Trigs and they have removed oats. Hmmm...General Mills must love us??!! WIll be interesting if they label gluten free if and when the new voluntary labeling goes through (not sure on status of tyhat right now???)

Someone above mentioned that one of the new disney cereals had oats. I do believe maybe she was right. I seen these at trigs at one time and put the box back because I thought there was something in it that celiacs can't have. I never rechecked box at store til this morning. Bought both...Little Einstiens are yummy. Nine grams of sugar...not bad for kid cereal!!!!! I remember seeing a post in another forum to that Dora for a spell wasn't Gluten Free.

Has anyone had the new Kaboom formulation, since they eliminated the oats? Is it good? I'd like to order some from Amazon, but I don't want to go through all that if they taste like cardboard.

Someone above posted a link to General Mills and on that link was a list of cereals. I was looking at Cocoa Puffs because my son was heart broken when they put the wheat back in (I actually ran around to all of the supermarkets and bought as many boxes as I could before the new "wheat" boxes came on the shelves :ph34r: ). Anyway, the link showed the ingredients for Cocoa Puffs as being gluten free again (unless the link has old info.). The boxes I see on the shelves are still showing wheat but I wonder if a change is being made again. Anyone know for sure?

My 2 year old son loves Coco Puffs. From what I can see, the ones that are 75% reduced sugar are gluten free. The full sugar ones still have wheat. I guess it's a better thing that the less sugar ones are gluten free. Has anyone else noticed the same thing? I haven't actually called on them.

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Mettedkny! Your ttg-igg numbers are elevated but what about your ttg-iga numbers? Were your ttg-iga numbers elevated at your original diagnosis? The reason I ask is because elevated igg antibody test scores are more likely to be caused by something else besides a celiac reaction to gluten. The ttg-iga test is considered to be the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. But some people are seronegative for the iga celiac tests, particularly if they are iga deficient. If they are iga deficient, the igg tests can be helpful. Have you ever had a "total iga" test run to check for iga deficiency?

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      Not sure where to start - been diagnosed for 17 years, and for 16 years my bloodwork has been perfect. Last May I started on HRT (estrogen patch & progesterone pill) for post menopausal symptoms, and to help with mild osteoporosis. In June my Gliadin IgG numbers suddenly went up to 59 (from previously being below 5 for 16 years). Did a deep dive on the progesterone pill manufacturer (Aurobindo) to ensure that the medication IS gluten free - and was told multiple times that there is no gluten in the pills. The pill is the ONLY thing that has changed, and my son, who is also celiac has perfect numbers.  Scoured my life to try and find out where the gluten could be coming from and the only thing I found was a tea I drank that had "possible wheat straw" (had been drinking this tea for about 5 years with no issues - and was confirmed by the manufacturer that their tea is certified gluten-free despite the "straw") - cut the tea out thinking that it MUST be the tea. Repeated the blood test 3 months later and it dropped to 55 - not indicative that the gluten has been found and removed from my diet. Had bloodwork done again yesterday and it is now 95 😳 I am completely floored. WHERE is it coming from??? I am SO careful. Would NEVER cheat, don't eat out and like I said, my son has NO issues and his number is 3 (as of yesterday). Has anyone had a problem with progesterone pills? It is the only variable that I can think of, but how do I prove that it is the problem without discontinuing to take the HRT (which I really need for post menopausal symptoms, sleep, anxiety, brain fog and hot flashes).

      Gluten intolerance in toddler?

      That’s a good thought, I didn’t think of that aspect of waiting longer! Thanks

      Gluten intolerance in toddler?

      By trents · Posted

      Thanks for reporting back @Nicbent35! You seem to understand the options and the risks. So, it is a decision you will just have to make. But you don't have to make it right away. You might consider keeping her gluten-free for a while yet. I would give it six months before considering adding gluten back in. Make sure the improvement you are seeing is due to removing gluten and not something else that will pass such that you see a reversion to former behavior and symptoms.
