I get the idea that Corn Flakes and Kix are not gluten free???
Is it somehow in the cereal or x-contamination??

All Kellogs cereals have barley malt in them and are not safe.
But some corn flakes might be fine. Somebody here will likely know the answer.

Kix has oats in it. They can be contaminated with wheat in the growing/storing/processing. Most corn flakes have malt in them, which is usually from Barley. Here is the ingredient panel from Kelloggs Corn Flakes:
There are safe brands of corn flakes that do not contain barley malt in them. I have heard that there is a Genral Mills cereal called Tigger and Pooh that is like Kix, but I haven't seen in locally yet.
Hope this helps.

I found the Winnie the Pooh cereal at walmart, for 1.60 a box. I really liked it.
The box of KIX we have had "wheat starch" in the ingredient list.
You can now buy Envirokids cereals at BJs (very reasonably priced) in a 3 pack with Koala Krisp, Gorilla Munch Crunch, and Peanut Butter Panda Puffs.
Those are a hit at our house.
