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!!

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.

      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.
