I found these in the Giant chain in Northern Virginia this weekend. The local Safeway still has the old formula Corn Chex in their inventory.

YAY! I have been using Rice Chex for a while now--I don't eat cereal for breakfast, but I do make "chex mix" with the Rice Chex alone for a snack. Now i can mix it with Corn Chex for variety, and get the Honey Nut for a snack as well.

Yay for General Mills! They were smart to do this. As DH pointed out, they have probably gained customers, celiacs who otherwise wouldn't be buying their cereals.

hey guys, question for ya:

has anyone in the NJ area found the new formulas in their stores? i've been to a stop & shop, my local shoprite and target, and they are carrying Corn, Honey Nut, Chocolate and Strawberry Chex, but they do not say gluten free (and show barley malt in the ingredients).

BUT... the strawberry chex showed molasses in the ingredients, however, the box did not say "NOW gluten free" on the front. is that on all of the new formula boxes?

THANKS!!

I have not found the other Chex yet! My daughter eats the Rice Chex often, would love to get her a variety.

I do have a question though - Are the other Chex cross-contaminated with peanuts/tree nuts? I thought I read it on this thread. Please tell me it's not true!!

Thank You!!

Also, in NJ (Central)

The Strawberry Chex lists peanut flour in the ingredients. I am not sure about the other Chex flavors.

That makes me so happy!! I'm pumped to have more variety in our cereal selection. I went onto the general mills website and sent them a thank you for making more of their cereals gluten free. hopefully it makes someone's day when they're sifting through all of the questions and complaints and they get one that's actually happy,

Just found a box of gluten-free Honey Nut Chex at a Walmart in North Carolina. Man is it good. I can't wait to try the other flavors!

It's here! It finally made it to my local grocery store! I just had a big bowl. It was wonderful. I have loved this cereal for years and couldn't figure out why it made me sick until I learned about gluten. But now it's gluten-free!! Finally I can get big boxes of regular cereal like the rest of the family! Not overpriced dinky boxes of Glutino O's or Gorilla Munch. YAY! :)

I was about to get really excited, but then I read the ingredients:

"Non-fat milk" and "Soy".

That actually makes a pretty decent number of celiacs unable to eat it. Shame. A few other ingredients worthy of highlighting for the multi-sensitive.

"fructose" and "sugar", "peanut oil", "Colors", "BHT" (chemical preservative), and the obvious, corn and rice.

which box were all these 'additivies' in ..................?

hope not all of the others than rice chex.

when will they ever get..................'LESS IS MORE'?

Took me less than a minute to send the thank you. I hope a lot of others will do the same. I think it's important we acknowledge any main stream co. for helping us!

If you want "less is more", there's plenty of crappy tasting cereal at the health food stores. I for one am tired of that stuff. Give me the sugar, colorings, and additives - just no wheat please!

I just bought a box of the honey nut corn chex with the big beautiful words of "gluten free" written all over the front! They were very very good.

I finally got my first box of the new Corn Chex at Winco in Gresham today! Woohoo!

Their "flavored" Chex varieties were still the old ones. But I just enjoyed my first bowl of Corn Chex in longer than I can remembered. With Hazlenut milk, because I'm having a bad lactose day. It's actually pretty good with hazlenut milk.

We tried the gluten-free Honey Nut Chex and I was surprised I really liked it. It was too sweet for me eaten dry right out of the box, but was delicious mixed with milk. I am still waiting for the new Corn Chex in our area. I have seen both gluten-free and non-gluten-free Strawberry Chex side by side in the stores, so be careful which box you buy. The Strawberry Chex is delicious mixed with regular Chex.

To cut the sweetness of the Honey Nut I mix in a box of Rice Chex. Perfect.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
