Hi, I have a question. A friend gave me two Honey Kix boxes of cereal. I couldn't find anything questionable on the label, but just wanted to verify, if it's truely glutenfree.

Thanks you, my friends :rolleyes:

I could only find corn ingredients and I know, General Mills makes it. But other than that I don't know, if there's any hidden stuff in this. Does anybody else have a clue? Or did anybody on here eat it without any reactions?

I have a box of regular Kix in my pantry and looking at the ingredients list, I find nothing in it that would make it off limits for me. Everything is corn, corn and more corn. Maybe General Mills will not label it gluten free if there's any possible chance of cross contamination and perhaps they don't test it at all. ??? I know they are one of the companies that are really good about labeling.

I swear I read somewhere that Kix has been reformulated to exclude oats. Does anyone else know any more about this product? I don't think I'm hyper-sensitive. Hmmm...it's now sitting on my counter for breakfast this morning...it's one of the cereals I grew up eating (way back in the dark ages...lol)

Found this on the General Mills website about gluten free foods. They only list Chex as gluten-free. It may be that they are not made in a gluten-free factory so they don't want to claim gluten-free.

All General Mills products that meet gluten-free standards carry the words "Gluten Free" on the label.

Also, please note that our formulas and ingredients may change. Be sure to check the ingredient label for the most current information with each purchase

There certainly appears to be nothing with gluten, so perhaps there's too much of a chance of CC.

I've been having both the plain and the honey Kix for a while, since they don't list any gluten ingredients on the package. I have to admit that I am not the most sensitive celiac, but I have never had a reaction to either of the two Kix.

I've had no issues with Berry Berry Kix either!

      The "IgA 47-310 normal range" = is the total IGA test I mentioned in an earlier test. It goes by a number of names. He is not IGA deficient.

      Doctors don't usually test the levels of all the B vitamins.  B12 is frequently the only one checked.   Ask for an Erythrocyte transketolase test to check Thiamine Vitamin B 1  levels.  The eight B vitamins all work together, so they should all be supplemented.  Additional thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can be taken.

      No.  The damage done to the lining of the intestines is caused by the autoimmune response of Celiac disease.   People who have been off of gluten for an extended period may take longer to mount an autoimmune response.  Twelve days of gluten after two years off probably wasn't enough time and not sufficient gluten.

      @trents @knitty kitty would NCGS show some celiac in biopsy?     
    • LizzieF
      @trents blood tests were IgA 47-310 normal range - mine was 120; TTG <15.0 antibody not detected, mine was <1.0.
