If you put 'chex' into the search filter you will find multiple threads showing that some people think they're fine, others can't tolerate them.

I had no problems for the longest time then started having problems with the Cinnamon flavored ones. Haven't had them in about 6 mos because of that. Will be trying them again soon.

I drove down to the US to get them, bought 6 boxes, and loved every bite. Will be going again soon.

Just a thought--could it be sugar in them? They are sweetened with something that replaced the malt.

The cinnamon ones bother me too, but I think it is something to do with the flavoring because I have problems, but not as bad, with the chocolate too. I can do the plain rice and corn chex just fine though.

They replaced the malt with molasses :) Not sure if that could cause a reaction or not.

I get a reaction every time I try them. First I tried the Cinnamon Chex & then I just tried to Corn Chex two weeks ago & I still get the same stomach tenders & my acid reflex comes back the next day. At first I thought it was cinnamon but I'm still getting that same reaction I'm not sure what it is. I just know they bother me. :(

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I've not heard of any issues with Primal Kitchen, but it certainly would be worth not using the brand for a while to see if this helps. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

      Gluten free/ non dairy , low calorie pudding

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure about low calorie, as puddings are typically a dessert, but we do have this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-pudding-recipes/ This one might work if you cut back on the sugar:

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!
