Need Help With Berry Berry Kix!

Hi,

I'd like to buy Berry Berry Kix, but I can't find it. I see that Amazon has it. But, It's not the same newly designed box that appears on the General Mills website. So, I'm afraid to buy it and get the old recipe.

Thank you so much!

I have not found this in my area at all. I keep looking. Keep in mind the box does not say it is gluten-free nor does the company. However, it does not contain gluten ingredients (per website) and many people eat it without problems. I think the old box might have but I do not know that for sure. Just an FYI.

Good Luck,

Hez

Thanks, Hez! I'm going to call General Mills to see where I can get it. I'll at least get some kind of explanation as to why they don't make this cereal more available. I'll post the response.

Hi Hez,

I talked to General Mills yesterday. He found two Giants near me in Maryland that sold it. If you call, maybe he can find some stores for you that carry the cereal. Here's the number I called:1-800-248-7310. I asked him why it was so hard to find. He said something about it being up to the food distributors. I went to one and found it right away! Thanks for your advice about the two boxes. They had both old and new boxes. The old box still has oats as an ingredient. The new just says corn ingredients. Since it's a new look and formula, maybe they'll start distributing it to more stores. I ate it with no problems.

Good luck!

I contacted General Mills & spoke to Rhonda. SHe said that the only cereal that is considered gluten-free & labeled as gluten-free is the rice chex. no others can they certifiy to be gluten-free. Just a heads up that if you are super-sensitive you may not want to eat this . She said if I thought it looked safe to eat then it was my judgement but GM would not say it is gluten-free.

sorry I was excited to try this too.....

Thanks, mamaw! It turns out after eating it for week, I started getting sick. I wasn't glutened, but the high frutose corn syrup made me sick. :( For some reason, I can't tolerate it at all. I'd hoped that I would be able to eat it again because it's been a while since I had eaten HFCS. I guess I'll keep looking.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By trents · Posted

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By Skydawg · Posted

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      Gluten Free Cannabis Edibles

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By RMJ · Posted

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
