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....

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
