I found a safe to eat list either on this site or maybe a link from this site to another and it listed brands that are gluten free. So, got a box a Corn pops, they were on the list. Ate some, Got sick. There is Wheat in the corn pops. Got the instant headache, nauseau, loopiness, fatigue. Went to bed, slept like crap, wake up feeling like crap.

Dont eat corn pops.

They were gluten free when I was first diagnosed but when the US went on the multigrain bandwagon the company decided to add wheat starch. They used to be one of my favorite cereals so I am hopeful that eventually they will wake up and make them gluten free again.

Good to know. I guess maybe I was looking at an old list.

jbaby, I'm sorry that you got sick.

Lists like the one you probably have are notoriously unreliable. Many members have found it is best to read every label and learn which companies clearly list gluten ingredients, so that they can make informed decisions.

We've all been there, and done that, unfortunately. Join the club :). Hang in there.

We still have to read the labels.

i.e. It started going around that Rice Chex was going gluten free. We really had to watch which stores had the old gluten boxes and which ones were gluten free.

Corn Pops were my absolute favorite cereal.

#1 thing to remember when a Celiac. Must read all labels. No wheat, barley, or rye.

best regards, lm

That's why you can't go by lists and must read all ingredient lists.

There's a lot of old info out there on the Web. You must check out the age of the info.

On the positive side, that list probably doesn't include some things that weren't gluten-free then but are now, like Corn Chex.

      Moms Across America for one. Here's the article that kicked off long thread and more than one thread on Celiac.com this past summer:  Our community feels the testing needs to be tightened up. As of now, GFCO allows food companies to do self-testing and self-reporting. Testing is also done We strongly believe testing needs to be done more frequently and there needs to be drop in, unannounced testing by the FDA and certification groups.

      What celiac watchdog groups have looked into what you mentioned? Thanks.

      Welcome to the forum, @CiCi1021! Well, to begin with, most of us have found it isn't necessary to buy a lot of specifically labeled "gluten free" or "Certified Gluten Free" prepackaged food items as long as you are willing and able to cook from scratch. This is especially true since testing by celiac watchdog groups has cast some serious doubt on how consistently food companies are actually meeting gluten free and certified gluten free standards. It's probably just as effective and certainly less expensive to buy naturally gluten free mainline food products such as fresh meat, vegetables and fruit and prepare your own meals. The only major exception to that in my experience is loaf bread. It's very difficult to make your own gluten free bread products and have them come out decent with regard to texture. The major food companies have invested a lot into that component and have come up with some pretty good stuff that's hard to duplicate for yourself.

      Struggling with costs of all the special food.  Are there any organizations out there that will assist with costs?
