Beware Of The New Formula Of Kix

I was so excited to try the Kix now that they have the new formula, and they tasted so good, but I got glutened from what I believe may be cross contamination. I also double checked the ingredients to make sure it wasn't the old formula. It's been 5 days since then and I'm just now starting to feel a little bit better, but nowhere near normal. I guess I'll have to wait until if and when they decide to go through the process to make it officially gluten free like they did with Chex before I ever try them again. :(

Envirokidz has a cereal that is very similar to Kix...Has a panda on front. We buy on Amazon.

I second the EnviroKidz recommendation. They are quite tasty - especially the peanut butter variety (kind of reminds me of Reese's PB cups cereal).

I totally agree with that recommendation! The peanut butter ones are so good!! It even makes a great snake to throw in a baggie and take on the road with you!

That is too funny, not that you got glutened, but that i have been wondering what I have been eating that is making me feel this way... I had kix this morning, and was assuming that it was a cross contamination matter, and since i am not the only one who had this happen, i feel a little relieved, my friends were thinking i was crazy because they dont have gluten in them...they dont understand the cross contamination issue!

will be trying the envirokids soon!

What type of Kix are you talking about? The new Honey Kix has no gluten ingredients....but I thought regular Kix was made with oat flour.

I like Trix(yes, the one with the bunny on it) and love Honey nut Chex. My sone really like the Cocoa and Peanut Butter Bumpers, and I get them at Krogers.

I bought a box of Honey Kix last week. It tasted like cardboard :o . I like Trix, and the Chex, especially the corn & honey nut kinds.

best regards, lm

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
