Malt-o-meal Cocoa Dyno Bites Not Gf

Warning - I picked up a bag of Malt - O- Meal Cocoa Dyno Bites and Corn Bursts last week and noticed that they now have wheat starch in them !!!!! :( I called the Malt - o - meal company to ask which products are gluten-free. They still told me the original 4, but said that soon the Fruity Dyno Bytes will be the only gluten-free cereal that they will carry. The woman at Malt-O-Meal said that we should write them expressing our concern and it will be taken into consideration. Please, everyone let's write them expressing our disgust ! Here's the address :

Malt-O-Meal Company

P.O. Box 631

Northfield, MN 55057

The Walmart near me still has the gluten-free Dyno-bites... for now! I am totally bummed as well. All they are doing is giving Post more business and $$. You may want to mention that in your letter. I will switch to Post Cocoa Pebbles ... Malt-O-Meal is my brand of choice, but, sigh... :angry:

Are Post Cocoa Pebbles Gluten Free?? I thought that they had Malt in them. I know for a fact that Kelloggs Corn Pops have gluten in them.

Yes, Post Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles are gluten free.

Kelloggs Corn Pops are NOT gluten free. Rice Krispies are NOT gluten free.

Oh good. Glad I can fall back on the Post Cocoa and Fruity Pebbles. My son loves them. Guess he'll have to live without Corn Bursts though. :(

It appears that Kroger's version of Corn Pops is gluten-free... but I would contact them just to be sure.

I wrote a letter to Malt O Meal a while ago... I highly suggest that everyone on here write to them and express your concern about the lack of affordable mainstream cereals for us and remind them that by doing this switch they are only taking money out of their pockets and giving it to POST. And any other company that offers Gluten Free cereals.

I was very angry at the change. It is unnecessary and they need to know that we are upset.

If anyone would like to see a copy of my letter, e-mail me and I can send it to you in a .doc format

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
