Chex Cereal - Canada?

Is Chex cereal not available in Canada or is it just my small city that doesn't have it. I remember eating it as a kid but never thought about it until my son was diagnosed and everyone in the US is talking about Chex cereal!

Is there any way we can petition them to sell it here too?? LOL!

What other "normal" cereals are there in Canada that are gluten-free? And by normal, I mean the usual stuff on the shelf, not the super expensive organic, sold labelled gluten-free cereal. I have yet to find one so I'm curious if there are some out there.

Thanks

Kathy, mom to Jakob, type 1 diabetes + celiac

To the best of my knowledge, Chex cereals are not sold in Canada. I remember them from my childhood, but that was decades ago. I certainly haven't seen them around here, and Toronto is as big a city as Canada has.

Chex are not sold in Canada. After 5 years, I haven't found a "regular" cereal sold in Canada.

I did, however, see a couple of boxes of Chex once at the Sobey's on Clarke street in Vaughn Ontario.

All my friends and family bring them back from the US for us when they're travelling. If you do get across the border stock up on Cocoa Pebbles and Fruity Pebbles. ("regular" cereal not available in Canada.)

Can you order them on Amazon? You'd probably have to order cases of six at a time, but maybe you could split them with someone else, or just, you know, stock up?

Sigh.......I guess we'll just have to make a side trip into Bellingham for a "food stock-up" while down in Vancouver for our official "diagnosis" (scope/biopsy). I was hoping to avoid it b/c I have no control when it comes to shopping (we're a little deprived here in Prince Rupert, BC) and the $ is good and there are sooooooooooo many factory outlets along the way YIKES!! Thanks for the info and the tip on the Fruity Pebbles :)

I wonder what the border guards will think when we open up our rooftop carrier and it's FULL of Chex cereal LOL! Is there a limit to the amount of food you can bring back?

Good, doesn't look like Chex cereal is limited in any way! :D

We're going to have a rooftop carrier FULL of Chex cereal to supply my son for the year (or 6 months the way he eats!)

Yes! It's here now! I saw it and bought it for the first time a couple weeks ago. I think it's new to Canada, so you may need to look around a bit still.

There is another recent discussion about Chex. Click here.

They have been sighted in a number of Canadian stores recently.

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      Feel Good gluten free chicken soup dumplings

      By Visionaerie · Posted

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      By ognam · Posted

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.
