I called yesterday to ask if Kix was gluten free. They said yes, and that any of their products that dont list wheat, rye, barley, or oats are gluten free. I asked if there was any risk of cross contamination, and they said no, that it was made in a seperate facility. Has anyone else been told this? I have to admit, I am still nervous to try it.

Kix has been reformulated so that it no longer contains oats. However, the company has decided not to specifically label Kix as gluten-free nor claim it to be so, as cross-contamination is still a possibility.

As they said to you, General Mills will clearly label any gluten-containing ingredient in any of their products by naming the grain. Many other companies have the same policy. A partial list includes Kraft, Unilever and Con Agra.

I personally have tried Kix, Honey Kix, Trix, and all the gluten-free Chex. I am not an overly sensitive celiac when it comes to cross contamination, but I did not have a problem with any of these. I also eat fruity, cupcake, and cocoa pebbles without any problems. It is so nice to have a "fortified" cereal to eat everyday or as a snack option. Also, fruity pebbles are great if you make them into a rice krispy treat. sooooo sweet but super yummy. You can do it with the cocoa pebbles too :) I hope that you are able to eat these cereals without any problems. Maybe just try a few pieces and see how you feel. That's what I did.

I loved Kix as a kid but over the years they made them sweeter. I just don't like sweetened cereal. However, if I knew they were definitely gluten free, I think I could grow to love them. That is, once my corn intolerance goes away.

Please let us know if any of you are able to tolerate Kix.

OH.MY.Goodness.

I LOVE Kix cereal! :)

If they indeed are made in a separate factory, wouldn't they be safe to eat?

I am pretty sensitive, and I eat Kix with no problems, and so do my boys. My younger barfs at the smell of gluten (nearly) and never has any issues. The berry kix are great!

My super-sensitive Celiac also eats Kix without problems. We like the honey Kix, too. Never have been able to find the berry ones.

I eat Kix almost 5 days a week and I can tell you that my blood tests are now clean.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      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
