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.

Subject: Malt-o-Meal

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.

Interesting, I sure would like to know what the "true" story is on them. I know the lady told me they were changing and adding wheat. <_<

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference.  I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me.  At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university.  I went gluten free.  I started taking vitamins according to my nutritional deficiency symptoms.  Vitamins worked.  My health improved.  Now I'm here to help others.  Celiac disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition.  Doctors don't recognize the symptoms of Celiac disease and malnutrition. Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing and digestion, improves diabetes and neuropathy and much more.  TTFD (Thiamax or TTFD-B1 Max) helps with brain function, neuropathy and lots more.  Every cell in the body needs thiamine to make energy so the cell can function.  Without sufficient thiamine, mitochondria die.  Every cell also needs thiamine and the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine has antiviral and antibacterial properties.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a lot of carbohydrates.  The more carbs one eats the more thiamine is needed to process them into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine, the body stores the carbs as fat. This is called high calorie malnutrition.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a gluten free diet.  Gluten free flours and processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts.  Meats are the best sources of thiamine, but some veggies (beans, potatoes, squash) and fruits (citrus and berries) contain some thiamine.    Explore thiamine more here: https://hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-causes-problems/

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis.  While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels.  Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten.  celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has to self repair in addition to the nutritional deficiencies.   Nonceliac Gluten Sensitivity Dr. Weston Price's research in the 1930s showed that diets rich in minerals and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D3, K2) promoted well-mineralized teeth, while deficiencies led to weaker enamel. Fatty liver, Intermittent diarrhea, Severe abdominal distension Choline deficiency causes abnormal deposition of fat in the liver, which results in a condition called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. In some people, choline deficiency causes muscle damage. https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/other-nutrients/choline    Choline is a large part if the bile salts for fat digestion, Acetycholine, a neural transmitter, mitochondria membrane structure, and along with folate, B12, and B6 recycles homocysteine  High homocysteine can damage artery linings. Low vitamin D levels are associated with increased symptoms of depression and anxiety,  autoimmune diseases and most of your symptoms.
