Can't Find Dora Stars Or Little Einsteins Anywhere!

I've been searching for the Dora Cinnamon Stars and Little Einsteins cereal and I can't find it anywhere!!!

I've checked at King Soopers (Kroger), Safeway, Target, and one Walmart Supercenter. I live in CO so maybe they just aren't here yet, but I also couldn't find information about them on the GM web site either.

If you buy these, where do you buy them?

THANKS!

I'm about to buy a case of them on Amazon. :o $26 but free shipping.

I hope the kids like them!

I bought Cocoa Comets at Whole Foods last night. The kids think they are so-so.

I found mine at Walmart. I've also seen them at Giant and my local mom and pop store.

I think I'll try a better WalMart tonight. The one I went to last night didn't have much of anything.

If not, I'll spring for the case. I realllly hope the kids like them. :rolleyes:

They remind me of cinnamon toast crunch without the mess that the sugar and cinnamon used to make.

Fantastic.

I'm not going to tell my 10 year old it is "Dora" cereal, but I'm sure she'll be THRILLED.

I am 25 and I keep boxes of it on my desk at work. :)

People think I'm crazy when I say I love my Dora cereal, yet somehow... they are trying it and liking it! :P I used to be able to find it at Walmart, but haven't seen it there recently- not since they were on sale for several weeks in a row. I figure the almighty W was demanding too low of a price... don't get me started on my Walmart opinions! :rolleyes:

Anyhow, I buy it at Meijer.

I love Dora!

You can ask your local Wal-Mart to order them for you.

Albertsons is the only place I've found them in New Mexico.

Ooohhh! I'll be near an Albertsons today. I think I'll peek in! Thanks!

My sister's hubby works for Walmart and she goes regularly so she's going to look for them each time she goes. At $2 a box insteaad of $3.75 for Envirokidz that makes me pretty happy. Other than Envirokidz has the organic factor, the Doras and the Einsteins are about comprable nutritionally.

They surprisingly have some fiber and are relatively low in sugar. I think they taste great too. the einstein one tastes like fruit loops. Although the sugar is high when you eat a whole box :)

I know when I saw them at Walmart it was 1.99 a box. Not too shabbby :) The only other cereal I buy is this strawberry cornflakes and it is 3 a box. I am the only one that eats them so it is not that bad.

I found Little Einsteins at Walmart (in Ohio) recently and called General Mills regarding food allergies. Good news was they were okay for him to eat (yahoo a cereal that does not cost $6.00 and hopefully he would actually eat it)! Bad news was they are no longer making this cereal (I think she said they still make the Dora one). But, I did pick up a box of Trix cereal and called on that one as well, I guess they changed the recipe not long ago and that one is gluten-free and okay for his allergies too!

I used to try to get my kids to eat the boring raisin bran type instead of sugar colored cereals and now I am actually excited my son can have this type of treat!

I think I may go back to the store and buy all the boxes of Trix on the shelf in case they stop making that as well :lol:

buffettbride Enthusiast

Not making them anymore??? :angry::(

I'm going to snatch up every box I find! The kids are *lovin* these right now.

I finally found the Dora Stars today and bought two boxes. I'll be up that-a-way again on Tuesday so I'm going to buy up the rest!

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.

      Thank you, a little expensive but glad to have this source.

      @knitty kitty  Thank you very much for the advice. I did the exam this morning, my doctor actually suggested me to take something called "Celiac duo test" in which I first do the genetic test and if it's positive, then I'll have to do the antigen blood test. I have to attend 1 month until my results are ready, so I have some weeks to increase the amount of gluten I eat daily. It will be hard because my health is not the best right now, but I also did a blood test to cheek my nutritional deficiencies. The results will arrive on Tuesday, so I can ask my doctor what should I do to control my symptoms and blood levels during this month. For now I'm resting and paying attention to what I eat— at least I don’t look like a vampire who just woke up, like I did yesterday. I'm still scared because is the first time I've felt this sick, but this is the right moment to turn things around for the better.  I realized that if I eat gluten at lunch I cannot finish the day properly, I become severely tired and sometimes my stomach hurts a lot - let's not talk about the bloating that starts later. Do you think is it ok to eat gluten just in the morning, like some cookies and slices of bread for breakfast?
