General Mills Honey Nut Chex Now gluten-free

Keep an eye out for the reformulated version of General Mills Honey Nut Chex, as they are now gluten-free. The boxes have the words "Gluten Free" right on the front. Found them at Wegman's in Cherry Hill, NJ.

They Chex themselves are corn-based, not rice, so hopefully the Corn Chex will also be made gluten-free in due time.

BTW, I know others have posted that the corn Kix (not the berry or honey kinds) are gluten-free, but I have not seen those in the stores yet around here.

That's great news! Thanks for the heads-up!

I was one of the people who reported on the Kix. I bought two boxes of all-corn oat-free Kix at two different stores (Walmart and Winco) a week or so apart. I haven't seen them since, in any store.

I look forward to the Honey-Nut Chex... what nuts are in it? I do hope that eventually we'll see gluten-free corn chex. I really didn't grow up on sweetened cereal and I prefer plain rice chex to strawberry chex most of the time... but only having one cereal gets old after a while.

I also buy the Envirokidz cereals, but again, they're sweetened. I'd much rather have a selection of less sugary cereals to choose from! I really enjoyed my two boxes of Kix while I had them, and every time I'm in a grocery store I look for them again!

Corn Chex Gluten Free!

I also know that General Mills has reformulated Strawberry Chex to take out the malt syrup and use molasses to make gluten free. Also Chocolate Lucky Charms is gluten free and Trix.

MAKE SURE YOU READ THE LABELS BEFORE BUYING!

WAY TO GO GENERAL MILLS!

Our W-mart doesn't have the corn Kix. I got them at another store, once, they have the old Kix there again. Thanks for posting the good news about Honey Chex! :)

For those that want less sugary cereal, don't forget to mix them in your bowl.

Strawberry Chex with Rice Chex, Rice Chex and Fruity Pebbles...

Elizabeth - Did the Kix say Gluten Free on the Box? I looked at a box in Central Market (H-E-B) and noticed it no longer contained oats or barley, but didn't buy them because I wasn't 100% sure. The Honey Nut Chex pre gluten free used Almond, hopefully that won't change.

No, it did not say Gluten Free on the box, but there were no even remotely suspicious ingredients listed as far as I could tell. Have you seen the all-corn Kix recently? It's been quite a while since I've seen it.

I hope they're still using almonds. :) That sounds yummy.

I'm sad that there are many on the shelf products not available in Canada. These would be great, and the Betty Crocker cake mixes!!

      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!
