Cookie Crisps Going gluten-free?

So my husband was at the store shopping yesterday (a rare occurance indeed) and he noticed that in Cookie Crisps there are no more gluten containing ingredients. It does still say "may contain gluten ingredients" I'm assuming because it's not being manufactured in the GM dedicated factory, but I'm wondering if this is the next cereal product for them to move over? I did eat a bowl last night and don't think I am having any issues but my symptoms are way more subtle than most celiac's so please don't take my word for it. I've just been so desperate for anything with chocolate that doesn't contain soy. But it looks as though they are using the same ingredients in the cookie crisps sprinkles.

What are the ingredients? I would be surprised if they did since "cookies" are usualy made from wheat flour but that would be nice to have another kids cereal option, wouldn't it?

BTW, I wanted to mention that Enjoy Life chocolate chips are awesome and they are soy free. :)

No Kidding! I can't find the enjoy life chocolate chips in my area, but my local grocery store did start carrying their chocolate bars made from rice milk that do not have soy and I have been so happy!!

I'll type up the ingredients when I get home this evening.

This is the ingredient list as it appears on Amazon. This shows wheat starch and oats so it wouldn't be gluten free unless this list is outdated.

If you have a store that carries their other products try askign them if they would be willing to start carrying the chocolate chips too. They probably will. I've been surprised at the number of times I have asked a store to start carrying something and a few weeks or months later the product was there on the shelves. It never hurts to ask anyway.

Here's the ingredients from the web page. They say "May contain Wheat" but don't list it as an ingredient. GM does seem to like to make things gluten-free, so maybe they are going in that direction with this cereal.

We'll not be informing the kiddos on this one ;) Except now they're splashing 'GLUTEN FREE" all over the boxes so now the 5yo thinks he needs it all! We passed a small display of cereal treats at Target and he saw "GLUTEN FREE" across the middle of the Fruity Pebbles cereal treats. I bought them just for their field trips and told him not to expect it again anytime soon! He was very disappointed on how tiny they were...:P

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.
