I am freaking out here. I am doing so bad about my sons diet. At least that is how I feel. He is basically gluten-free. I find a few things every now and again that are not gluten-free that I am giving him. like today my neighbor made us rice Crispie treats. Then come to find out that are made with malt flavoring. Is this gluten???? He LOVES that cereal and I have been giving it to him all the time. ArgggHHH!!

Help!

Taffy :(

Malt is made from barley. So Rice Krispies are NOT gluten-free nor is anything else that has malt or malt flavoring. There is a gluten-free type of rice krispie cereal but I cannot remember the name. Does anyone else know?

I think it is made with barley malt flavoring. You should call the company to see if they will tell you.

We eat a crispy rice cereal called Rice Twice. We get it at Wild Oats. It's pretty good.

Kellogg's RK, not gluten-free. I had some gluten-free ones around here, I think they were made by Nature's Path. I honestly found them to be rather anemic and had very little flavour. I finally made them into faux Rice Krispie treats and they weren't half bad after I added a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips!! B)

Yeah, and I made "rice krispy treats" with them, and mailed them to my hubby in Iraq, and he loved them! (He is not gluten-free, but he is the "gold standard" for my cooking.)

That is my favorite. I think it tastes just like rice crispies. It even makes the snap crackle pop sounds!

We get the Erewhon ones... and they say quite clearly on the box Gluten Free... I do think they may have some that are not gluten-free, so make sure you find the box that is.

Also, don't feel bad, just learn from this and move on... one of the common pieces of BAD ADVICE that I hear people getting from Dr.s is that cereals like Rice Krispies and Cornflakes are safe for us, THEY ARE NOT... not unless you get a guaranteed gluten-free version.

Nature's Path make an organic, gluten-free rice crisp cereal called "Crispy Rice." Kelloggs Rice Krispies are not gluten-free due to the gratuitous use of barley-derived malt flavor.

I just got a bag with my last Knicknkick (sp) order. And I also did find the Crispy Rice at Whole Foods that I made "sushi" with (rolled up around gummy worms and wrapped in green Fruit Roll-ups)... it was too fun!

Do you have the list of safe and forbidden ingredients? That may help you. Rice Krispies by Kelloggs are not gluten free. They have malt which is made from barley. But there are gluten free versions you can get. Email me if you need any help:)

Some of the worst diet advice i ever got was from drs and nutritionists. Heck, awhile back when i was hospitalized..for breakfast they served me kellogs rice krispies.....and lunch was mushroom BARLEY soup..

and they KNEW i was on a gluten free diet. I had to inform the hospital dietician that these items were not gluten free...and the next mornng the gave me kellogs corn flakes. arrgh

Envirokids Koala Crisp cereal is also a type of crisp rice cereal, but it does have a slight cocoa flavoring to it. They also make crispy puffed rice breakfast bars that are not chocolate.

I had this experience! I was prepared though; my dr. said he would order gluten-free but not to trust that the hospital kitchen would know. Meals came marked gluten-free, but there was always at least one gluten-filled item on the tray. I didn't eat anything they brought up.

Any Kelloggs brand cereal is NOT gluten-free, all use malt favorings.

However, there's lots of main-stream cereals out there that is gluten-free. Neopets berry cunch, cocoa pebbles, fruit pebbles, cocoa puffs, the new Dora the Explore cereals.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
