I personally haven't tried anything from Bob, but there have been several threads I noticed about concerns with cc and his products. I think the results have been a mixed bag, some react and some have no problems.

I have tried their hot cereals and haven't had any problems, but I didn't have any obvious symptoms when I went gluten free. My daughter has become more sensitive though. She got glutened a couple weeks ago.

I have tried several times a hot cereal by Erewhon. It's called Brown Rice Cream and it's gluten-free. The only ingredient is Organic Brown Rice. It isn't the "oatmeal" that you are looking for, it's more like cream of wheat.

Have you tried Ancient Harvest Quinoa Flakes?

I haven't actually eaten them yet as a hot cereal but they are delicious in breads & cookies. They look like a miniature oatmeal flake, & definitely add some of that yummy oatmeal texture in cooking, so if I were you I'd give them a try.

I do love hot oatmeal too but only in cool weather, & we haven't had much of that lately! (I'm in NC.)

Hope they do the trick!

bob's red mill has two factories - one is gluten free, the other isn't. some gluten free grains are made in the gluten factory, so make sure you don't get those (corn meal, carob are two i remember). i got very sick from both.

however, i have never gotten ill from anything from his gluten-free factory, and i am very sensitive. i use all his products for baking, and often.

Bob's Mighty Tasty gluten-free Hot Cereal is pretty good - heartier than just cream of rice or grits. I haven't noticed any reaction to it myself, so if you're willing to take a chance, I think it's a good hot cereal.

I got a bunch of samples of this recently, but I've been too nervous to try them... I may have to give it a shot because I like a good hot cereal in the mornings and I can't afford to replace the Barkat Porridge right now... (after shipping and handling it's over $11 for one tiny box)... eek. Soooooo seriously considering trying the Bob's Red Mill hot cereal...

nini - i promise you, i am very sensitive and have never reacted to anything by bob's except for the products that i mis-read as literally gluten free, but not made in their gluten free facility. free samples = great!

I react to Bob's.

[Carriefaith]

I have had a serious reaction to Bob's Red Mill.

When I was eating grains, I really liked Cream of Rice. I would put maple syrup, walnuts and cinnamon on it. I never had a gluten issue with it.

I seem to react to very small amounts, but have not reacted to any Bob's stuff. Some of Bob's gluten-free stuff has a big mention of it being gluten-free on the label and others, like corn meal, seem gluten-free, but don't have a symbol on the front. I think that's the stuff that isn't produces in a gluten-free factory.

I also have not had problems with Arrowhead Mills stuff.

I second Ancient Harvest Quinoa Flakes. I love them - but I have had several people mention they can smell them (when I make them - at work, etc) and that the smell is odd to them, and then they don't want to try them. I admit I notice a distinct scent, but it isn't off-putting to me.

matilda - have you tried the kasha (as opposed to buckwheat flakes)? those are the only ones my mom will eat.
