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 think only adults like envirokidz, i think they are pretty nasty!

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.

      diagnostic testing variance

      For years, I have dealt with various gluten related symptoms like stomach pains, bloating, IBS-C "ish" digestive issues, low iron, low Vit D, joint pains, brain fog, and more. I finally got a double scope and stomach looks clear, but I have some lymphocytosis of the duodenum. I am wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone, where I have not shown celiac...

      Does Kroger Offer Affordable Gluten-Free Options?

      Kroeger has quite a few Gluten free items. Right now they are redoing my Kroeger store and are adding everything into the regular sections. Since this was done some new ones have been added. Publix and Ingles also have great selections. I actually shop Walmart and Food City to since prices on some items vary from store to store.

      Neurologic symptoms - Muscle Twitching and Hand Tremors

      Sorry but I don't have specific recommendations for doctors, however, starting out with good multivitamins/minerals would make sense. You may want to get your doctor to screen you for where you different levels are now to help identify any that are low, but since you're newly diagnosed within the past year, supplementation is usually essential for most celiacs...

      Test uncertainty

      Yes, I can imagine. My celiac journey started with a rejection of a blood donation by the Red Cross when I was 37 because of elevated liver enzymes. I wasn't a drinker and my family doctor checked me for hepatitis and I was not overweight. No answers. I thought no more about it until six years later when I landed a job in a healthcare setting where I got...

      I’m so sorry you’re going through this—it sounds like you’ve been on a really challenging journey with your health. Your symptoms (stomach pains, bloating, low iron, joint pain, brain fog, etc.) do sound like they could be related to gluten sensitivity or another condition like non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). It’s interesting that your bloodwork hasn’t shown celiac markers, but the lymphocytosis in your duodenum could still point to some kind of immune response or irritation, even if it’s not classic celiac disease. The fact that your symptoms improved when you went gluten-free but returned when you reintroduced gluten (especially with the donut incident) is a pretty strong clue that gluten might be a trigger for you. It’s also worth noting that symptoms can be inconsistent, especially if your body is still healing or if there are other factors at play, like stress, cross-contamination, or other food intolerances. Do you have more info about your blood test results? Did they do a total IGA test as well?

      For years, I have dealt with various gluten related symptoms like stomach pains, bloating, IBS-C "ish" digestive issues, low iron, low Vit D, joint pains, brain fog, and more. I finally got a double scope and stomach looks clear, but I have some lymphocytosis of the duodenum. I am wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone, where I have not shown celiac red flags in bloodwork IGA tests. WIll be following up soon with GI Dr, but so far, my symptoms are intermittent. I go back and forth with gluten-free diet (especially this past year.... did two tests where the stomach pains I had went away without gluten in diet. HOWEVER, I added it back a third time and I didn't get the pains)   Anyway, I am so confused and scared to eat anything now because I recently had a few bites of a yeasty donut and I immediately got so sick. Any thoughts??

      Yes, I can imagine. My celiac journey started with a rejection of a blood donation by the Red Cross when I was 37 because of elevated liver enzymes. I wasn't a drinker and my family doctor checked me for hepatitis and I was not overweight. No answers. I thought no more about it until six years later when I landed a job in a healthcare setting where I got annual CMP screenings as part of my benefits. The liver enzymes were continually elevated and creeping up every year, though they were never super high. My primary care doc had no clue. I got really worried as your liver is pretty important. I finally made an appointment with a GI doc myself and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive. That was in about 1996. After going on a gluten-free diet for three months the liver enzymes were back in normal range. Another lab that had gotten out of whack that has not returned to normal is albumin/total protein which are always a little on the low side. I don't know what that's about, if it's related to the liver or something else like leaky gut syndrome. But my doctors don't seem to be worried about it. One thing to realize is that celiac disease can onset at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but there is also an epigenetic component. That is, the genetic component is not deterministic. It only provides the potential. There needs also to be some health or environmental stressor to activate the latent gene potential. About 40% of the population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually do.
