Well I have tried the honey kix they taste soooooo good. I ate a bowl two days in a row woke up the third day bumpy rash o my face, I kept thinking maybe was something else, so backed off did not eat any for little over a week, ate some again two days in a row woke up the third day rash on the face. I am so disapointed, has anyone else had any problems with them? I keep trying to look at other things it might be but its the only thing I can find. I have had no stomach issues.

i haven't tried the Honey Kix but i "think" i reacted to the Strawberry Chex last month (i got a cluster of really bad cold sores that lasted a week - haven't had one in a long time). it really bummed me out so i'm sticking to plain ol' reliable Rice Chex. i haven't been brave enough to try the Honey Kix...and now i don't think i will!

The Honey Kix made me pretty sick. Bloating, terrible upset stomach, and other intestinal issues. That was after 1 bowl - I won't be eating them again.

Strawberry Rice Chex made me slightly nauseous so I think I'll be staying clear of that as well. I'll be sticking with the designated gluten-free cereals...

Sorry it didn't agree with you either :(

I've been fine with both Honey Kix and Strawberry Chex, but I don't seem to be extremely sensitive to cc (to my knowledge, anyway), so that's probably no help to you. :(

It seems the longer I am gluten free the more sensitive I get is that normal?

I think there probably are several factors, including when your celiac was triggered (i,e,, childhood or adulthood), how much damage you had before diagnosis, and what kind of damage it was (to intestines, skin, neuro, etc).

I've been on a personal mission to get to the bottom of what's up with General Mills and their new recipes that don't appear to have gluten. The Rice Chex made such a splash about being gluten free with the markings on the box, press release, website, gluten free recipes, etc. I've been trying to get someone to tell me why the Honey Kix and Strawberry Chex didn't get the same treatment. All emails and voicemails that I've left have either gone unanswered or routed through the generic customer service email. I emailed Kim Harbeson (she was listed as a contact on the bottom of the Rice Chex press release) using her personal email and the reply came back from a different person via the generic customer service email. I suspect it's an issue of gluten free recipes made on shared lines or factories. And that would be fine - just tell us one way or the other. As happy as I was about the Rice Chex, this is irritating. BUT, I'm not giving up and I will let you all know if I ever get a real answer besides "read the label."

I am the same exact same way and I was wondering the same thing myself. But, I think I have an explanation. Look at it like it's an allergy. I read a study where people who were allergic to peanuts were given very small dosages of peanuts every once and a while directly into the blood stream. A year later, they found that these people had much less severe reactions to peanuts. The human body is extremely adaptive and once you go gluten-free, you are also able to tell right away when something is not right.

I hope you do corner them it seems easy enough for then to say a simple answer of no we can not gurantee that there is no gluten.

I have been fine with both cereals as well- in the begining I was super sensitive but now I am much better.

We've been doing fine with Honey Kix and rice chex. I've been making a smore snack with them. Mini marshmallows, Honey Kix, Enjoy Life chocolate chips, and if I have time I melt the chips onto rice chex with the powdered sugar.

I have been fine with the Honey Kix. I've been munching one box for a couple of weeks. Do you think it could be like the Lay's? You can eat them and be fine the first ten times you eat them but the eleventh time, Boom, reaction? That points to CC to me. Maybe I won't buy them again.

Maybe when writing to these companies we can point out the number of subscibers to this forum and let the company know we will be posting their responses here. If they do not respond with more than a rote e-mail, we will all assume their product cannot be trusted.

I think your right with the cc problem a person could be lucky get many boxes that are fine then bam you get a bad one. I think I got the cc one right away , wish the company would decide to make it legaly gluten-free and have it made in the right way I really like honey kix! oh well eventualy I think more and more cereals will be made gluten-free.

I have had honey kix, strawberry chex, frutty and cocoa pebbles, and trix all without any problems. I would also like to point out that I never had any gi issues before I went gluten free, just high liver enzymes. So if there is a cc issue, than don't go by me...go by someone with a sensitive tummy.

This whole situation sucks if you ask me. I want to buy a box of cereal that tastes good, dosn't cost alot, and won't hurt my liver without me knowing it. I wish I was sensitive to gluten, then I would know when I shouldn't eat something again.

I have seen the new strawberry rice chex and when I read the ingrediants it says barley malt I was dissapointed. Has any one else seen this?

That is an old formulation - the new version of Strawberry Chex has molasses in place of barley malt.

I just started on my second box of the honey kix and don't seem to have any trouble either. I don't think I am overly sensitive either. I think I was glutened in Jan. by some coconut macaroons I was eating. I don't know if it was something in the artifical flavorings that got me or cross contamination. The two times I know I was glutened I had really bad heartburn/indigestion. I did eat the honey kix in the same time period, but I just had a bowl of them last week and felt fine. I eat the cocoa pebbles all the time too.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

      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?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. 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.
