New Dora The Explorer Cereal

I just stumbled upon this at the grocery store today. I had never seen it before. It is corn based no ingredients contain gluten. I read the label many times and even called General Mills and they confirmed that they do not "hide" gluten and it would be clearly stated as wheat, oat, barely, or rye.

I just though I would pass this along because I'm sure there are some other little Dora fanatics out there who would love this cereal as much as I'm sure my little ones will!!

Do you know anything about CC issues? Does it share a line with gluten cereals? I hate to put a damper on everyone's excitement, I'm just a little concerned because I'm sure they make many gluten cereals in the same facility...

It is very good to know, though, that there is a mainstream cereal that my daughter might be able to eat!! She's not too crazy about the EnviroKidz cereals (although I like them!) and there sure isn't much else for kids!

I don't know about the cc issues, but if it isn't a problem, that would be great. Most of the cereals that are "mainstream" that my niece can eat have sugar as a first or second ingredient, I think. (At least this one it's third on the list...).

So the list is growing...Trix, Cocoa Puffs and now Dora. Has anyone had any luck getting through on the cross contamination issue? My son hates Envirokidz and he'd jump at a chance to eat a mainstream cereal, even in the shape of Dora.

My kids like Environkids cereal. They are 7 and 4 years old. They are my kids that can have gluten, but they like them. I will have to try these on my two year old.

I really don't know about the CC issues, but I kind of figured that if people were ok with Trix and Cocoa Puffs which are also General Mills, that this Dora cereal would be the same kind of thing. Also, Post has non-gluten-free cereals and Fruity Pebbles are ok, right?

I did notice on the box that it doesn't even have the disclaimer "This product was produced on shared lines with products that may contain wheat, etc....."

So I fed it to Ella tonight and we'll see!! <_<

So is that replacing Islandberry Crunch?

I was glutened pretty badly by the GM Neopets cereal <_< .

I'm sure it was CC because I'd already eaten several boxes of the stuff, over 3-4 months, and not had any problem then I opened a new box and got sick. I cleared my diet of all possible suspect foods and then reintroduced them, the Neopets caused an immediate reaction. In a facility that produces both gluten and gluten-free stuff all it takes is one lazy worker, one mistake, one line that wasn't totally washed down and boom.

Sorry I'm such a party pooper, but I'm trying to be a non-pooper! :P

My kids like envirokidz but we can't eat panda puffs anymore because of the soybean oil, cheetah chomps has oats. I don't think they tried koala crisps and they like the amazon flakes ok. They love the panda treats though.

It is in the shape of little stars. I'm so glad that some of you have gotten to try some. Ella and Jack love it too. It's funny because when we usually see kid cereal at the store I hurry by before Ella has a chance to notice whatever character is on it and don't usually even bother reading labels because they're almost never gluten-free. For whatever reason I looked yesterday and it was a great surprise!

I thought Trix had wheat starch in it? I've seen a couple of references to it being OK on this site. Is there a variety that doesn't?

I believe that they have changed their recipe. You have to make sure that you buy the new boxes. I checked my grocery store and they list wheat starch as an ingredient so they still have the old version.

I bought three boxes of it yesterday. :D And yes, I'm 23 years old. :P I love being able to buy "normal" cereal every once in a while and I hate fruitty and cocoa pebbles (wayyyy to sugary for me.) YAY!

      Do Gluten Enzymes actually work?

      I agree, unfortunately a gluten challenge means intentional gut damage and inflammation to those with celiac disease, and taking lots of AN-PEP enzymes could potentially decrease this and skew the results, although I've not seen specific studies on this idea.

      I’m really sorry you’re going through this — what you’re describing is, unfortunately, something many long-term celiac patients encounter. A negative blood test after decades gluten-free does not rule out biopsy-proven celiac disease, and it’s frustrating that your documented history isn’t being taken seriously.

      My Journey Continues some notes

      It sounds like you’re doing a really thoughtful, disciplined job listening to your body and tightening things up where needed. Tracking symptoms alongside foods in MyFitnessPal is a smart next step, especially since bloating and gas can come from specific GF ingredients (like gums, fibers, or certain flours) rather than gluten itself. Your approach to eating o...

      Going for upper endoscopy today

      Just be sure that she continues eating lots of gluten daily for at least 2 weeks before the endoscopy, otherwise going gluten-free beforehand could create false negative results.

      Going for upper endoscopy today

      Her results only showed greater then 100 which over 10 is considered positive. But American standards still recommend the endoscopy to confirm. And the Dr explained to us both the European and American standards and asked us what we wanted to do. We figured since it’s still recommended here, do the endoscopy so Insurance can’t argue anything in the fut...

      What's your daily meals? Protein bars?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your approach makes a lot of sense — focusing on balanced meals and being cautious about cross-contamination is smart, especially when you’re traveling or unsure of a kitchen’s gluten-free practices. Many GF foods do lean toward higher sugar or processed ingredients, so prioritizing whole foods (lean protein, fruits, veggies, healthy fats) at meals can help keep energy steady. For snacks that fill you up, look for protein bars with simple ingredients, higher protein, and lower added sugars — reading labels is key on GF bars since “gluten-free” doesn’t always equal healthy. Pairing a salad with a quality protein bar when you’re unsure about a restaurant’s GF safety is a great strategy to avoid symptoms while still feeling nourished.

A negative blood test after decades gluten-free does not rule out biopsy-proven celiac disease, and it’s frustrating that your documented history isn’t being taken seriously. Being dismissed while you’re dealing with menopause-related changes, neurological concerns, and recovery from a demanding job would exhaust anyone, and it’s understandable that this is affecting your mental health. You deserve care that looks at the full picture, not quick conclusions, and it’s okay to keep advocating for yourself or seek a provider who truly understands complex autoimmune cases. You’re not imagining this, and you’re not alone.

Tracking symptoms alongside foods in MyFitnessPal is a smart next step, especially since bloating and gas can come from specific GF ingredients (like gums, fibers, or certain flours) rather than gluten itself. Your approach to eating out, avoiding places that can’t confirm safety, and planning ahead for travel is exactly how many people stay well long-term. It’s also very common to discover that even “certified” or restaurant GF pizza doesn’t agree with you, so trusting that pattern makes sense. Overall, this reads like progress, not restriction—and the fact that you’re feeling better most of the time suggests you’re on the right path.
