Mourning Corn Pops?

I just got a call from Trader Joe's that their "Sweetened Corn Puffs" are gluten-free. They do not appear on the company's gluten-free web listing... but when I saw them at the store and inquired about them, the manager called "corporate headquarters" and called me at home to tell me they were indeed gluten-free!

So far we've had no problems with them.

Enjoy!

Keep reading the malt-o-meal labels. The formulation will/should/supposedly is changing soon, to add wheat. Be on the safe side and always read.

Did you ask about the cross contamination issue with the Trader Joe's food? I'm curious because I've been warned about them not always being as careful as they should be with their foods.

Yes, I am aware of the "pending doom" with Malt-O-Meal. I am enjoying their good, inexpensive cereals while I can!

Wegman's has a gluten-free Corn Pops and several cereals and they label them gluten-free on the front of the box!

Gillian... I did'nt ask about crosscontamination, but we are pretty sensitive and so far so good... I will call though.

Tania... Where is Wegman's? Is it a brand or a store? I haven't seen it in New England.

Thanks for the Malt-O-Meal tip. I'll have to pillage the local Wal-Mart before they add wheat. (Last year we bought 11 boxes of Kellogg's Corn Pops before they added wheat... my kind hearted daughter suggested I leave some for other gluten-free families, I'm sure we will do the same at Wal-Mart) :)

Thanks,

Ruth

I had contacted Malt-O-Meal recently and was told that they have had quite an onslaught of complaints about the impending ingredient change. MAYBE if enough of us continue to call, write, e-mail and let them know just how important it is to have low cost gluten-free food choices, especially for picky children, they may reconsider changing their ingredients to include wheat. They also sent me 4 coupons to get some of the cereals...

That makes me happy, at least they know how we feel about it!!! What they said shows that they are at least listening to their customers concerns.

If Malt-O-Meal ever changes their indgredients I would be so screwed. I eat at least one box a week of the crisy rice....and it is pretty muc the only thing that I eat. I will def. get involved with the contacting of them to call and complain about it. :)

I've never tried Malt-O-Meal cereals before; do they put their gluten-free cereals on separate lines to avoid cross contamination issues? If so, I'll have to try them out before they put wheat in them!

There are only 3 malt o meal cereals that are gluten free (that I have ever recieved confirmation on). Crispy rice isn't one of the three. Here are the 3 that are safe (for a while longer).

*Malt-O-Meal Corn Bursts

*Malt-O-Meal Fruity Dyno-Bites

*Malt-O-Meal Cocoa Dyno-Bites cereal

Try Barbara's Puffins Honey Rice Cereal, it is gluten-free and so good. I eat it nearly every morning. It has just a hint of an almond flavor. I eat it with rice milk as I am also casein intolerant. Some of Barbara's other Puffin cereals are not gluten-free, however this particular one is. The Honey Rice one stays crunchy in the milk all the way to the last piece which I just love about it.

I just called this morning about the Crispy Rise and it is not gluten-free. i have no idea what I am going to do, cereal is pretty much the only thing that I eat. If anyone has anymore information on gluten-free cereals please list them. Thanks Amanda :)

I just called Malt-O-Meal ~ Their Puffed Rice is gluten-free. I was asking about their Coco Roos... no luck there!! They have wheat starch. She said that, yes, they have been getting an onslaught of calls ~ yeah!!! Sooo, I hope they are going to consider changing their decision.

Wegman's is a large grocery store in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Virginia. It has lots of health foods and gluten-free food. The cereals I mentioned are also priced well (less than $2 a box). However, they do not sell on-line.

We really like the Envirokidz cereals too. Bob's Red Mill makes a very good hot cereal called "Mighty Tasty gluten-free Hot Cereal". I like it with a little unsweetened applesauce and molasses or honey added. There is another one that is pretty good called "Rice and Shine". I think it's from Arrowhead Mills.

Yes-- I like Rice and Shine--and it is made by Arrowhead Mills

Conflicting information about malt-o-meal:

Edited version below.  Just an FYI about Malt-O-Meal changing how they are producing their currently gluten-free cereals & worth following up on if you use these products.

A couple of weeks ago, I found this posting on the celiac.com list:

Open Original Shared Link

Parts of that posting are true. No, they are not adding gluten, according to my friend who works at Malt-o-Meal. I heard back from him today and he confirmed that Cocoa Dyno Bytes and Corn Bursts will no longer be made on dedicated lines, starting sometime in the summer. The reason? Sales are not high enough to justify dedicated lines. Fruity Dyno Bytes, however, are selling well enough, so the current plan is to keep those on a dedicated line.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
