General Mills is reformulating their rice chex cereal. They are taking out the barley malt syrup and replacing it with molasses. They are also going to be producing the rice chex cereal in a dedicated facility! The new boxes say "gluten free" on them. Be careful when you shop because some of the old non gluten free formula boxes are still on shelves in stores. YUM! :)

Great to hear about Rice Chex now being Gluten-Free. I've already been through two boxes.

I wonder if they could also reformulate Corn Chex?

I did call General Mills regarding the Rice Chex to see if the product is tested and if they have a definition of Gluten-Free.

They did not want to provide any information regarding Testing or Parts Per Million and only indicated that Gluten-Free means zero gluten.

Personally, I would feel very safe with this product.

Finally found some last week at my local Walmart. Now they're out of it. Luckily I got the last two boxes. At long last, real cereal!

I finally remembered to write that email to General Mills to say thank you for the reformulation. I am loving buying cereal at the grocery store! Here is the link if you'd like to thank them too:

I also sent General Mills a Thank You.

In addition, I said that I would also buy any of their Corn based cereals if they could also be made Gluten Free.

Let's hope they are considering that possibility.

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By RMJ · Posted

      I’d say celiac is likely.  Please continue to eat plenty of gluten until your endoscopy to be sure that any gluten-related damage can be seen.  Plus it gives you one last chance to enjoy your favorite gluten-containing foods. I hope the endoscopy/biopsies give you a definitive answer.

      I do also have the bloating, gas, constipation, hair loss, an auto-splenectomy that no one can see any reason for and some elevated liver enzymes that don't seem to have a cause, I also have joint pain and some spinal compression fractures that have no explanation.  I am only 42 so haven't had a bone density test yet.  My calcium was normal, but my D was a little low.  They haven't checked for any other vitamin deficiencies yet.  My blood test for an autoimmue disorder was quite high but my Thyroid was all normal.

      Hi, I have been having a lot of back pain and gut issues for 8 weeks or so.  I saw the GI on Monday and my results just came in from the lab.  Some of these number are high and off the little chart from the lab.  I am reading this correctly that I most likely have Celiac, right???  It would explain a lot of things for me.  She does have me scheduled for a colonoscopy and endoscopy in  2 weeks to do the biopsy.  I posted this prior, but forgot to put the range assuming they were all the same.  Someone advised me to repost with the ranges for some insight in the meantime. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 140 (normal) - Normal is 87-352 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA 256 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG 65 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 31 (High) - Moderate to strong positive above 10 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG 10 (High) - Positive is at or above 10

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Usually, the blood testing is done first and the endoscopy/biopsy follows for confirmation if there are positive antibody test scores. Historically, the endoscopy with biopsy has been considered to be the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. If the tTG-IGA scores are very high (5x-10x normal), some doctors will forego the endoscpoy/biopsy and grant a celiac disease diagnosis without it. So, if you are starting with the endoscopy/biopsy that may be all you need to arrive at a diagnosis. Another possibility would be for the GI doc to do a blood draw for antibody testing on the same day you come in for the endoscopy/biopsy.
