I am only gluten-free so I am not sure about the other issues. In the past I have used Kraft marshmellows, margarine/butter and a gluten-free rice crisp cereal (I cannot remember the name Erewin?). Hopefully, someone who has similar issues can be of more help than me :(

You can use canola oil instead of butter or margarine. I'm not sure if marshmallow cream is dairy free, but I've melted regular marshmallows in the microwave and it worked fine.

I always make gluten-free/df rice krispy treats. I use the recipe on the back of the kraft mini marshmallows, along with gluten-free rice krispies and earth balance buttery spread (soy butter)...Mmmm they are awesome!!

You can use crisco too (I use butter flavor)

I make them just like IrishKelly, as I am gluten and casein free, too. However, I make them that way for others, but for me, use quinoa puffs, as I am allergic to rice. It's a nice change!

Use the standard recipe, but substitute cocoa pebbles for the rice crispies and add 1/2 c. coconut. MMMMMM! :lol:

I dont' have the exact recipe but I know it works if you mix together Erewron (sp?) rice crispies, gluten-free brown rice syrup (Lundberg I believe) and gluten-free/cf chocolate chips. It's yummy if you mix in some other gluten-free cereals too (such as gluten-free corn flakes)

Thanks for all the tips !! I appreciate it. My son's daycare is having a Halloween party, and as a side note, I get a lot of "oh poor baby" from the staff when they ask about his dietary restrictions. :angry: One staff member even commented that some Mary's Gone Crackers I put in his lunchbox "looked like birdseed", so naturally my son won't touch them now. :angry::angry: I'm not going to tell them the goodies are gluten-free/DF until after they've gobbled them all up ! :lol::P

Quinoa is a great alternative, I agree. I've found useful information about it and also recipes in Open Original Shared Link

I hope it will be useful.

I am a Rice Krispie ADDICT! I use Kraft marshmallow creme (I believe that's dairy free) and Erewhon rice cereal (remember it: nowhere spelled backwards, from an old sci fi novel).

Super easy - melt the 'mallow creme, once it's warm, fill it up with the rice cereal. Just like my Mom used to make!!!

Anyone else here super-suprised when they learned RICE Krispies had barley malt syrup, making them on our "no-no" list? I sure was!

Here's how I make this - we call them "Scotcheroo's"

In pan bring to boil 1 heaping cup of corn syrup

and 1 heaping cup of sugar - keep stirring until it comes to a boil so it doesn't scortch

Once it's come to a boil, put in one heaping cup of peanut butter

Pour this over a heaping 6 cups (I usually use more than 6 cups - probably more like 7) of the gluten free rice krispies.

Pour into a cake pan (I grease the pan up with butter to keep from sticking)

Then to top it, I melt approximately 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of butterscotch chips. Melt in a double boiler and spread over rice krispie mixture.

This works really well because this was my son's favorite treat. Nice to be able to make it gluten free.

I don't do very well with exact measuring...I like them a little more gooey so usually have a little more of the corn syrup/sugar/peanut butter mixture.

Be very careful, most of the butterscotch chips I have seen have barley in them. I know for sure that Nestle Toll House brand butterscotch are NOT safe.

Thanks for the info on the butterscotch chips! I thought that they were on the listing of things that our dietician gave me that my son could eat. He doesn't have any dairy allergies so that isn't a problem. But I'll definitely do some checking. You can always just leave the chocolate off the top too...I make them that way once in a while cuz we really don't need the added calories and I actually like them better that way.

I'm still pretty new at all this - my trips to the grocery store has turned into all day events it seems like cuz I read every label.......

Just keep hoping that the more people that are diagnosed with Celiac's the more stores and restaurants will be wanting to cater to US!!!!!!!

As always - everyone is great on this board! Love going out to read it for support and information.

No worries. :) gluten-free/DF is a pretty tall order - even I forget sometimes. :lol:

I wonder how they'd taste if I took gluten-free rice cereal, added some shredded coconut, and then topped the mixture with Enjoy Life chocolate chips ? Kind of a mixture between the coconut suggestion and the "Scotcheroo" suggestion. Thoughts ? I'm not used to experimenting with recipes, so I'm a tad gun-shy - especially when I'm making stuff for other people. If it was just me I could care less, lol. If it was gross I'd just toss it out and not think twice about it.

Can you believe I've never made rice krispy treats before ?? :) I was surprised at how quickly they went together. I decided not to do the coconut and instead just melted some Enjoy Life chocolate chips and topped the treats with that. They came out good, though I think they needed a little more marshmallow than the recipe called for.

Thanks so much for the help everyone !

BTW - I packed one separately in Ryan's lunchbox to hopefully reduce the chances of him getting glutened. Another parent also made rice krispy treats for some odd reason, even though I signed up for them - so I specifically told the daycare to ONLY let him have the ones I made (which were probably better anyway :P ).

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
