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.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
