Trix Cereal -

I was wishfully looking at a box of my non-celiac sister's Trix cereal that was in the cabinet yesterday, and out of habit and having nothing better to do I decided to pick it up and read the ingredients, even though I knew that it had malt flavoring in it which would make it not gluten-free.

However, as I read through the list I didn't see it. So I read through a second time! And a third time! Finally I got my mom to read it and make sure my eyes were not deceiving me. But they weren't!

I can now eat Trix cereal! I noticed on the box that it said, "Great new shape!" so maybe when they changed it from the fruit shapes to just the colorful balls they took out the malt, but anyways...I was super excited!

I think I'll go eat a bowl of Trix.

;)

My son has been eating it on and off for the last two months. In that time there has not been malt flavoring in the ingredient list and the food starch is clearly labeled as corn.

I have seen people on here say they weren't gluten-free. I have never seen them with gluten in them. WEIRD! I wonder if it has to do with what part of the country you live in? Perhaps they make them in different plants?

Be careful and re-read the box ever ytime you get one. General Mills has changed the recipe more then once in the time my son has had celiac disease (and he is only 3 years old..). It was not gluten-free, then it was, now it is again. The ingredient they have been messing with is "Wheat Starch" For now, it seems the new boxes are gluten-free. My son has not reacted to them yet and seems to think they are fine. I personally do not react to gluten so can not say beyond the word of a 3 year old. :)

REMEMBER CC IS ALWAYS A SO EAT WITH CARE.

My 1-year-old is extremely sensitive and has been eating these just fine. We had to switch from her Enviorkidz cereal to a vitamin-enriched cereal because she was deficient in several things that are natural only in foods to which she is intolerant. It seems to be working-between her multi-vitamin and her fortified cereal her zinc-deficient lesions are gone, her energy levels are up and her anemia seems to be handled.

Sounds like the box you saw was indeed gluten free. It is my understanding that they were, then they weren't now they are again. So depending on the age of the box you have, they might or might not be. I am in the habit of checking each box each time.

I know this is a silly thought, but I almost bought these the other day until I got to thinking do you think they always contin wheat and sometimes they forget to list it. I am probably thinking too hard about this but I just want to make sure it is not an option.

It is not a silly thought. I worry about the GM cereals because they change the ingredients list so much. BUT as a non-celiac disease who has tried the gluten-free and non-gluten-free versions, I can NOT tell a difference in a blind test. So I wonder if maybe they never had wheat, and listed it only because of the CC risk? I dunno. We will likely never know. All I know for sure is my son does not seem to react, and its a HECK of a lot cheaper then any cereal in the hippie section of the store. :)

I will have to find out what web site my mother was looking at but she found out that Little Einsteins, Dora the explorer, Trix and some other mickey mouse cereal are all gluten free. They are all made by the same company. I have been eating the stuff like crazy. Trix Marshmellow balls are great as are peanutbutter dora the explorer snacks, also made with marshmellows.

There is also an organic brand of corn puffs you can buy in Canada at Zehr's they are president's choice brand I believe and they say gluten free on the front of the box but are out in the regular cereal aisle.

Yep. There are a bout 1/2 doze or so mainstream cereals now. Just read your labels every time, be careful and remember there is ALWAYS a CC risk, and more so with mainstream then the dedicated brands....

Well I've gone through a box and a half and I haven't had any problems. They're so delicious!!!

      Her result for the TTG Ab (IgA) was 19. Lab range 0.0 - 0.7. U/ml. 
    • trents
      TTG would refer to a blood antibody test. Not valid if you are already eating gluten free or mostly so. DQH would refer to a genetic test to see if you possess either or both of the two genes that have been connected most strongly to developing active celiac disease. The genetic test is more of a rule out measure than a diagnostic test as about 40% of the general population have one or both of those genes but only about 1% of the general population develops active celiac disease. If you don't have the genes but gluten causes you issues then the conclusion is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. So, the genetic testing helps with a differential diagnosis. I...

      Tell him to get me a case...just kidding! I wonder why they are not labelled gluten-free here in the USA? They don't have gluten ingredients.

      Glad this helped. There are lots of alternative breads out there, so someone has likely made some sort of paleo bread with no grain. And if you bake, experiment with some of the alternative flours to see what you can come up with. If you commit to the gluten-free diet 100%, you may want to do a bit of research on some of the tricker aspects of getting gluten out of your diet, such as cross contamination in the home kitchen (pots and pans, cutting boards, toaster, airborne flour). Don't feel you have to do everything at once, or let this overwhelm you. I've always said that going gluten free is a process, not a moment. The reason I mention this is that, if you think you are gluten-free, but...

      The doctor was correct--if you are gluten-free the blood panel for celiac disease will not work, you would need to go on gluten challenge in order to be tested. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for...
