Malt-o-meal Cocoa Dyno Bites Not Gf

Warning - I picked up a bag of Malt - O- Meal Cocoa Dyno Bites and Corn Bursts last week and noticed that they now have wheat starch in them !!!!! :( I called the Malt - o - meal company to ask which products are gluten-free. They still told me the original 4, but said that soon the Fruity Dyno Bytes will be the only gluten-free cereal that they will carry. The woman at Malt-O-Meal said that we should write them expressing our concern and it will be taken into consideration. Please, everyone let's write them expressing our disgust ! Here's the address :

Malt-O-Meal Company

P.O. Box 631

Northfield, MN 55057

The Walmart near me still has the gluten-free Dyno-bites... for now! I am totally bummed as well. All they are doing is giving Post more business and $$. You may want to mention that in your letter. I will switch to Post Cocoa Pebbles ... Malt-O-Meal is my brand of choice, but, sigh... :angry:

Are Post Cocoa Pebbles Gluten Free?? I thought that they had Malt in them. I know for a fact that Kelloggs Corn Pops have gluten in them.

Yes, Post Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles are gluten free.

Kelloggs Corn Pops are NOT gluten free. Rice Krispies are NOT gluten free.

Oh good. Glad I can fall back on the Post Cocoa and Fruity Pebbles. My son loves them. Guess he'll have to live without Corn Bursts though. :(

It appears that Kroger's version of Corn Pops is gluten-free... but I would contact them just to be sure.

I wrote a letter to Malt O Meal a while ago... I highly suggest that everyone on here write to them and express your concern about the lack of affordable mainstream cereals for us and remind them that by doing this switch they are only taking money out of their pockets and giving it to POST. And any other company that offers Gluten Free cereals.

I was very angry at the change. It is unnecessary and they need to know that we are upset.

If anyone would like to see a copy of my letter, e-mail me and I can send it to you in a .doc format

      Pua, do you understand that genetic testing cannot be used as proof of having celiac disease as it only establishes the potential to develop active celiac disease? About 40% of the population has the genetic potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop it. However, it can be used as a rule out measure.

      Mahalo for all of the answers this has been super helpful. He is doing so much better on a gluten free diet. I may consider genetic testing as I never thought of that as an option and I definitely don’t want to go the usual route and have to give him gluten again for the test. It’s nice to have an “official diagnosis” but as long as he’s healthy I don’t care.  mahalo again!

      Welcome to the forum, @Marilyn1941! As Wheatwacked explained, we need more information. There are a number of blood antibody tests that can be run to detect celiac disease. Some are more meaningful than others in the sense of positive results being due to celiac disease or possibly due to something else. So, knowing exactly what test the score you gave is referring to would be helpful. In addition, the ranges and units of measure used by different labs differs from one lab to another. There is no industry standard for these. So, we would need to know the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for that test used by the lab who did the analysis. And was there only that one test ordered by the physician?

      When my son was weaned in 1976 he was diagnosed with Celiac Disease.  My mom said at the time. "you got what you gave." His doctor insisted on Nutramigen as the only hyperallergenic baby formula with full nutrition.  After 6 months he was weaned to gluten free diet.  It seems it still has that status. He has grown strong and well.

      Hi @Marilyn1941, Welcome to the forum. There is not enough info to go on.  What test name? What are the results and the laboratory's normal range they used?  Why were you tested? What kind of symptoms?  Age, sex and country would be helpful but not necessary.
