Chex Cereals - Anyone Having Problems With The Flavored Ones


jlr

Recommended Posts

jlr Apprentice

Hi all,

I love that Chex has come out with gluten free cereals - so far the rice and corn have been great. I also tried the cinnamon and choc/vanilla flavors - I can't say that I got "glutened" but I didn't feel good after eating them - anyone else have that reaction?

Thanks,

Janet

I get Chex off and on. I tried the Honey Nut one the other week and it was good.

The Rice Chex -- Majority of the time I felt a little sick/icky feeling afterwards but never full blown sick.

The Honey Nut one if I ate too much of it I did feel sick but if I ate a small amount I felt just fine.

I eat either the corn or the rice chex everyday. Haven't had a problem. They say the honey nut is gluten free too, but I don't like it, too sugary for me.

I'm also recently gone gluten free, so I'm know I'm not a 100% Gluten-Free. But I love chex, I was so happy when I saw it saw it was Gluten Free. I grew up on Crispix but it has malt flavoring, so chex is the next best thing. :D:ph34r:

I have not had any problems with them and I got through at least 3-5 boxes a week of the various flavors. It is a great breakfast at work and a throughout the day snack. Make sure you are getting the new boxes. I have noticed the old versions mixed in stock at the stores yet. So if your box does not say gluten free it is still made with barley malt.

I have not had any issues with the Rice Chex. However, I noticed the flavored Chex have canola oil in them. While technically gluten free, I have come to find that many other celiacs have problems with canola oil and have a similar to gluten reaction. Perhaps you have a sensitivity to canola as well?

the flavored ones have soy, peanut, and milk (Cinnamon has all three) so maybe its a reaction from that

I tried the Honey Nut one. To much corn for me. Today was the first day since then that I was able to go "all by myself, like a big girl" <_<

Love the Rice Chex, much easier to digest. I'm taking emzymes though and hope to work my way up to a whole bowl of something corney :D

I love the Rice Chex and have been eating them since they became labelled gluten free. I just finished a box of the Strawberry Chex and they made me extremely sick, I thought it had to be something else so I tried eating them several times (I'm thinking it is the dyes in the cereal). I just bought the Chocolate and Cinnamon flavors to try (I have my eye on a few of the recipes on their website). And will probably pick up a boxes of the Corn and Honey Nut to try.

I would look at other possible allergens in them, my grandmother remembered that as a kid I had problems with red dyes and other colorings, so I've decided to play it safe and not buy the Strawberry Chex again because it is better to be safe than sorry.

My stomach is being a little odd to the flavored ones so far. Strawberry ones don't seem to cause any massive bloating but the Honey Nut does off and on (today it got real mad in visible bloating/distending before hitting gym so it wasn't the most enjoyable experience). Trying to narrow down what causes it is another challenge of its own...

I just found out this weekend about the rest of the flavors going gluten free and I practically jumped up and down in the store. I hope they treat us fine at our house. It was HUGE news for us! So far we've only tried the corn and honey nut. Did all the flavors go gluten free? How smart of them!

I seem to be quite sensitive and am happy to say I have had no reaction so far - I've been eating it for breakfast every day for a week - Honeynut, Strawberry and/or Chocolate. Didn't know there was a cinnamon. I can usually tell within an hour or so if I'm going to have a problem.

I had been eating chocolate chex everyday for breakfast and began to get a terrible rash and stomach problems so I double checked the ingredients to find barley malt extract =( I don't think chocolates gluten free anymore

sounds like the old formula, does the box you have say gluten free in big letters on the middle left of the front of the box? the old formula is still out there and even pops back in a store you have seen the gluten free ones

I am questioning whether I should eat the gluten-free Chex or not. I don't feel terrible after eating them, but don't exactly feel great. My lips get really dry and seem to puff up. Maybe it is the milk in the cereal. I personally use rice milk any time I eat cereal.

Does anyone have problems with lips swelling all the time? I have been off gluten for two years and still can't figure out what is going on.

I too have the same problem and feel weird and get that thirsty feeling and the fluttery feeling. all of the stuff that has gone along with being glutened. However, I have read that sometimes it could actually be a reaction to the grains. Try and eat other grains and see if it happens also. This is relatively new for me but I have to mainly stick to whole foods, meat, veggies and brown rice (small amount)> My diet is pretty boring and I am hoping it will improve over time.

      @plumbago, I found a good PDF on cholesterol:  Unlocking the mysteries of VLDL: exploring its production, intracellular trafficking, and metabolism as therapeutic targets I just started it, but it may have answers for us, with whacky cholesterol.  The pharmaceuticals don't seem to be interested in anything but statins.   "The nicotine in tobacco causes a decrease in the HDL cholesterol level. " Maybe you should start smoking? 🤪 I have high LDL and low HDL.  It is genetic mutations in the LDLR, APOB, PCSK9, or LDLRAP1 genes. My whole family is on statins for Familial Hyperliperdemia except me.  December I had ultrasound and cat scan for Carotid Artery blockage and both sides are above 85% blockage.  I started on Atorvastatin and that made me weaker than ever, even with CoQ10.  I asked for and got prescription for 2000 mg/day Nicotinic Acid B3 and in the 3 weeks my numbers changed. I am feeling realy good lately.  Stronger and more flexible.  Sleeping better.  Getting roto router (TCar) as soon as I get clearance from a cardiologist.  I expect that by my next blood panels in April to be even better. I am beginning to believe that like vitamin D where the RDA only accounts for preventing Rickets, the RDA for B3 is way underestimated.   From Oct 22 to Jan 17: A1c from 13.5 to 10.2 eGFR from 55 to 79 Triglyeride from 458 to 362 Total cholesterol from 245 to 264 HDL from 27 to 44 VLDL from 84 to 68 LDL from 134 to 154

      I have taken thiamine on and off (just not at this exact moment), and I’m not sure it's made any difference. Yes, I almost always “fast” (12 hours NPO) for blood tests, as do a great many other Americans, so I tend to think that’s not it. All I can say is that the mystery continues. I could do some speculating here…well, heck, let me go ahead and speculate now: The lab ranges we all see on our reports are more or less the averages of Americans who have had those blood tests. Now, it’s up to you and me whether or not to think of the average American as healthy. I can make arguments both ways, more often than not, on the negative. My point here is that maybe the current range of HDL is somewhat skewed (ie, low), and maybe just maybe my super high (plus 100s) HDL results are not something to worry about; the range just needs updating. Why do I say this? Because pre-celiac disease diagnosis, my HDL values were in the normal range, but post celiac disease diagnosis, my HDL levels are way above average. See where I’m going? My trusty guidebook on celiac disease, Recognizing Celiac Disease by Cleo Libonati, RN, BSN, says that HDL increases after being on the gluten free diet. Or can increase, I guess. Then again, it could be something else. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In thinking of going to a cardiologist, I sort of fear that he/she will be dismissive of a link to celiac disease, treated celiac disease, and would not therefore be considering all possibilities. @trents I'm sorry you've been diligently working on your numbers to no effect. That must be frustrating. LDL is a world that is far better understood than HDL, so for you there's maybe less "mystery." Familial hypercholesterolemia is for sure something that can be tested. Outside of that, you're right, genetics can determine a general pattern.

      Well, I have the opposite problem. My LDL has been moderately high for years. I eat healthy and exercise regularly but can't seem to move that meter. I used to be on a statin (and my doctors want me to go back on one) and it brought both HDL and LDL down but the ratios never changed. I think a lot of that cholesterol stuff is just baked into the genes.
    • knitty kitty
      Wow, @plumbago, Curiouser, and curioser... Have you been fasting?  Apparently HDL levels increase after fasting... https://ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S0002-9165(23)31185-7/abstract   I must say it, try taking some Thiamine.  Thiamine helps regulate lipoproteins... Thiamine helped lower HDL in this study whether they had diabetes or not. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3921172/#:~:text=Serum thiamine and its derivatives,supplementation (p %3D 0.009).

      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! I would assume for the time being that the mild gastritis and the celiac disease are connected and that once you get a good handle on gluten free eating and experience significant healing in the lining of your duodenum, you will also see improvement in the gastritis as well. Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying finding that is commented on in the post scope/biopsy notes when people are positive for celiac disease.
