Does anyone know if Cocoa Krispies are gluten free? I read the label and it lists "Malt Flavoring" I assume that's not ok. But does anyone know forsure ???

Thanks,

Sarah

Malt comes from barley, so it's definitley a nono, sorry....

Cocoa pebbles are gluten-free though! :)

Is this true? Cocoa pebbles are really gluten-free? There is really a mainstream junk food cereal that is gluten-free? I didn't know that! I am so excited!

Thank you!

I have a serious texture issues when it comes to cereal! Since childhood, I'm 42 now, I've loved Cocoa Krispies and I don't gag on them like most cereals. I was thrilled that Chex is gluten-free, but I gag after a few bites. My husband came home tonight with a box of fruity pebbles and and as always I went to read the ingredient list. He took the box from me and turned it around to expose the big GLUTEN FREE tag. You would've thought I was 5 yrs old! Fruity pebbles is the other cereal I can eat without gagging!! Hopefully Cocoa Krispies becomes gluten-free soon since I'm not too fond of the taste of Cocoa Pebbles.

Welcome Lisa :)

You may want to try Envirokidz Kaola Crisp Cereal. The cocoa flavor is more mild than some of the other chocolate cereals, but does have a similar texture to rice crispies - might be worth a shot.

Also, just so you know - you are replying to an old thread - the original poster hasn't logged in for six years and is not likely to see your response.

Thank you! I think I'll give the Envirkidz a try! My problem is when a cereal becomes soggy quick. I'm not a huge cereal eater, but it nice to have one for the occasional craving.

Thanks for the heads up on this being an old post; I noticed that before replying but thought if someone else stumbled across this topic when using google as I did that it might help. Obviously I'm new to the site and so far absolutely loving it :-)!!!!

      Getting sick much more often

      By Jordan Carlson · Posted

      @trents I do take all the recommended vitamins and excersize regularly. Basically do all things labeled as a healthy lifestyle haha. Thats why I was thinking more this is my immune system now having the energy to fight viruses rather than being too stressed out as I have heard that it is a common thing when your body is over stressed due to underlying autoimmune diseases

      Jordan Carlson, Wheat flour is fortified with vitamins ("enriched") where as gluten free facsimile flours are not. So when you eliminate wheat flour from your diet you may lose a significant source of nutrition. At the same time, gluten-free prepackaged foods are practically devoid of vitamins and minerals, consisting mostly of highly processed high carbohydrate grain substitutes. Lots of rice flour and tapioca. Have you compensated by adding in some high quality gluten free vitamin and mineral supplements? We typically recommend this for new celiacs, especially at the front end of recovery before there has been very much healing of the small bowel villous lining and nutritional absorption is still poor. Edit: I edited my other post to direct it to Sanna King's post.

      Hey there @trents. I wish I could edit my original post. I am talking about getting a cold way more often, not gluten poisoning.

      Reply to Sanna King: As you have withdrawn gluten from your diet you have lost all tolerance to it that you had when consuming it on a regular basis. This is normal. Not everyone experiences it but it is common. It has been my experience as well. When I was consuming gluten every meal every day for years after the onset of celiac disease but before diagnosis I would experience mild GI symptoms like a little occasional diarrhea. After being gluten free for a significant time, any major exposure to gluten would make me violently ill. Hours of severe cramps and vomiting followed by hours of diarrhea. Like when my wife made me gluten-free biscuits and made herself wheat flour biscuits and I got them mixed up and ate a couple. I am not a super sensitive celiac in the sense of being made ill by small amounts of cross contamination but if I get a significant exposure like I just described it is awful.

      Hi there @Sanna King! I am talking about contracting colds/flu, not gluten reactions. Sorry if I did not make that clear. My stomach symptoms have improved vastly since changing my diet. But I contract colds way more often than I ever had before.
