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.

Walmart, Albertsons and Safeway is where I have seen them recently.

I am not craving them after this thread so I will have to check my grocery store tonight.

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. :)

silly celiac Rookie

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!

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      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.
