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!!

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
