I admit I am a chicken. I am also heartbroken that Wegmans has discontinued thier gluten-free cornflakes with strawberrys. Please if any of the supersensitive folks try this stuff, post back and tell us how it went. I am very leery of CC issues as I react really badly and hope this will really be safe.

I didn't know they discontinued the corn flakes, I still see them in the organic cereal aisle and in the regular cereal aisle...I just thought maybe they didn't stock them in the gluten-free aisle....so its official they are discontinued?

On a side note, I bought the rice chex last night, the words gluten free on the box almost brought me to tears...there is an awesome tropical chex mix recipe on the box and thats exciting.

That's funny, I was just at the store yesterday (before reading this topic) and was so excited to have found this new Rice Chex on the shelf! I'm eating a bowl with rice milk right now. Watch out for the generic version, that one still has barley malt extract (at least the one sold by my grocery store does).

If you are so inclined, please send a note to General Mills telling them you are appreciative of them taking this step. The more they hear from our community the more likely they are to make other products gluten-free.

Yes, I called the company and they emailed me a response stating that they are working on 3 new cereals that will be out in January. If you still have them at your store buy as many as you can. The email didn't say the 3 new ones would be gluten-free but I sure do hope so.

I'll have to brave and look for the Rice Chex, I just hope it doesn't have soy.

It doesn't list soy, I have the box at my desk as we are typing this. I might have to go to buy some.

I saw 2 of their new cereal which came our in Jan...and neither was gluten free. I might have to voice my disappointment to this....

Please do let them know, maybe if they hear from enough of us they will bring more of them in. I haven't even been able to get the Gorrilla Munch there now for weeks. Lots of those 'rock' cereals though that have to be soaked for an hour for my poor celiac teeth to handle them safely. GRRR

I did get brave and bought a box of the Chex, now I just have to get brave enough to try them. :D

I ran out and bought a box of Rice Chex yesterday, starting out with a handful (don't want to be too crazy!). Today, I am okay, so I had a ton this afternoon instead of potato chips.

Can I tell ya - YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY.

The Lord does answer prayers. :P

I called General Mills and they said it is only the 12.8oz box which is labeled gluten free, and those boxes (the ones labeled gluten free) do not contain gluten and don't have any possibility of cross contamination. But they wouldn't give any details about shared lines etc.

I just got off the phone with General Mills. I was told that the Rice Chex that are labeled gluten-free are made on dedicated lines--and that if they wern't, they would carry a cross contamination warning, per their policy of not hiding any gluten ingredients.

She also invited me to take part in a consumer discussion about their products. I gave her my email address, and was told to expect an email soon.

Raven-

Last night when I was at the store I bought the strawberry corn flakes....well I did not pay for them. We had several boxes left on the shelves but they were out of date, they were listed as Feb-08. The date is not easy to see and stamped in a way where I had difficulty judging what it was. Anyway, I took the box to the cashier and told them, I explained I heard it was discontinuing and I really wanted the box. They gave it to me for free....

I cannot imagine the cereal being bad, it is not opened...

hi

I just called also since they said they can't respond to emails at this time. Really nice lady told me if soy was used in the vit e's would be listed. Seems these will be safe lines but didn't get a 'dedicated line' answer per say.........but all 8 allergens would be listed under the ingred panel in larger letters.

was also ask to particpate in a consumer email discussion. So maybe if alot of us call, we can have some impact.

thanks Patti and for the rest of you.

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
