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....

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
