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.

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.

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      If lectins were my problem, I would react to wheat germ (the highest source of wheat lectins) and beans. I don't. I only react to bread and pasta, which are the highest sources of gluten. Therefore, my issue is wheat-specific (Gluten/ATIs), not a general lectin issue.   I have eaten a supposedly high lectin diet (I say supposedly because lectin content in these foods is greatly reduced by proper cooking and I eat very few of those foods raw, and even then, rarely!!) for years. My health has improved greatly on my whole foods plant forward diet. I have asked all my drs and a registered dietician about my diet, asked if eating such a high amnt of fiber might interfere with the digestion of any other nutrients and the answer has always been NO.     while doing the gluten challenge I did not eat ANY wheat germ (since it doesn't have hardly any gluten, and I was too sick from the bread and pasta to want to eat much anyway) I will NOT put that poison in my body again. That was a horrific experience and if this is what most celiac patients have to deal with, I am very sorry for them I don't care if I have celiac or NCGS I won't intentionally cause myself that much pain and suffering it's not worth it.

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
