Whole Foods

I used to buy the Whole Foods brand (I believe it is 365) of frosted flakes. The other day I went in and read the ingredients (out of habit). I noticed that the label had changed and it now had malt flavor or malt something. I looked on their website and it looks like this cereal is no longer gluten-free :( Not happy :angry:

Just a warning to check labels if you buy this cereal.

I second that :angry:

I loved that cereal, what was wrong with it the way it was???

Maybe we should start a campaign to bring it back as gluten-free.

One would think that the cereal manufacturers would try to elminate as many unnecessary ingredients (malt) as possible to reduce their costs.....I mean that always happens to the the food that is on the "OK" list now and then anyway.

AGH!

Why can't they just leave things ALONE!!! If it's not broken there's no need to fix it.

Why do cereal companies do this? You would think that they would know less people are going to buy the cereal now. It doesn't make sense to me.

France,

I like the Amazon frosted flakes too, but the Whole Foods ones were even better! They had a lighter texture - I thought they tasted exactly like Frosted Flakes. Plus, they were cheap!

Oh well, my newest inexpensive (relatively speaking, of course) fave is Wegmans corn flakes with strawberries. I guess it's supposed to be their version of Special K with red berries. Pretty good! I don't know if the freeze dried fruits have the same nutrients as regular though...

      Also ask for a test of vitamin D levels. I agree with knitty kitty that cyclical Thiamine deficiency may be the cause of your cycle.  Celiac Disease causes multiple vitamin and mineral deficiencies.   Itchy palms can be a symptom of iodine deficiency.  Low iodine levels can lead to dry, flaky skin on the hands and  body due to the disruption of normal skin cell regeneration caused by a lack of thyroid hormone production, which relies on iodine. Other symptoms are   fatigue, weight gain, sensitivity to cold. I take between 600 and 1200 mcg a day Liquid Iodine. It has improved my healing.  Strong Iodine and Lugols Solution are other options.  Start low and build up over time. Between 1970 and 1988 the dietary intake of Americans dropped by 50%. Perhaps this is why some can tolerate the bread in Europe?

      Be cautious with vitamin D if you are female and post-menopausal.  I had to decrease my D dosage from 4000 IU/day to 2000 IU because of hormonal acne and unwanted facial hair - likely from an increased testosterone level from the D.  Finally relief!  I hope to keep my D level below 50 nm/l now.

      Do you eat processed gluten free foods?

      You may want to wear an N-95 mask to filter out any possible gluten, at least when you handle the flour.

      It sounds like you've been on quite the journey trying to understand your symptoms and diagnosis. It’s great that you’re planning to consult a doctor for allergy testing, as distinguishing between a wheat allergy, celiac disease, or another gluten-related condition is crucial for moving forward. The fact that you’ve tolerated barley and wheat products without recent symptoms might suggest something other than celiac disease, but as you noted, the absence of immediate symptoms doesn’t necessarily rule out potential underlying damage, especially if celiac disease is still a possibility. It’s worth discussing whether you should undergo updated testing, such as genetic testing for celiac markers (HLA-DQ2/DQ8), or even revisiting an endoscopy if appropriate. In the meantime, keep documenting your experiences with food and symptoms—it could provide valuable insights for your healthcare provider. It’s also important to test for other possible causes of your original symptoms, like IBS, food intolerances, or even other autoimmune conditions, to ensure nothing is overlooked.
