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.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
