hi, all!

my family was sitting around discussing gluten-free breakfast items and my sister and dad had been eating Quaker grits. when i expressed serious reservations about Quaker, they asked for safe alternatives. anyone know of any? thanks!!

I use Quaker and they are just fine!

To my knowledge, most grits are gluten free, just watch out what you put on them. I use buttter(real) and salt and pepper and a grade my own Kraft cheddar cheese.

Look, sometimes on the ingredience of real better, then check the same for margerine.

I guess the question is what's the risk factor of cross contamination with Quaker brand Grits? Is there a brand of grits which is made by a company who specializes in gluten-free grains?

[Guest nini]

well, I've also gotten Arrowhead Mills White Corn Grits before and they were just fine...

I honestly have never had any problem with Quaker Grits... I called the company to make sure they were safe and I was assured that they were. They told me they are made in a completely separate facility than the oatmeal products.

I agree....I too have never had a problem w/ Quaker grits...in fact I live off the instant ones b/c they are easy to pack when traveling, going to work, etc.

I also eat Quaker Quick Grits every morning, and I don't seem to be having trouble with them.

I use stone ground grits...when you go there you can't go back

[laurelfla]

thanks, guys!

i had heard that Quaker wouldn't guarantee anything, but i didn't check it out with regard to grits. good to know they are ok.

what is the difference with stone ground? i'm curious.

Because of the processes used in plants handling multiple grains, you are always better off to choose a mfr who has a corn only facility. Dixie Lily is available in the south. Try Kroger if your local grocer does not carry it.
