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....

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
