While still specialty foods, I've found that Health Valley Rice Crunch 'Ems and Corn Crunch 'Ems are gluten-free and taste just like Chex. Nature's Path and Health Valley both make corn flakes (one yellow, one blue) that are gluten-free and I think taste better than Kellog's (particularly the blue).

post fruity and cocoa pebbles, dora stars, island berry crunch, trix (read the label, i think they might have changed ingredients.) health valley rice crunch-ems. i think they make a corn one, too.

I've gotten an off brand of corn flakes that has no malt in it. Sorry, can't remember the brand. Got it at Big Lots.

Glutino's has a apple cinnamon 'cheerio' type cereal, as well as a honey nut.

And there is another 'cheerio' type cereal called Perkyo's that also come in apple cinnamon. I perfer the Perkyo's because it is fortified with vitamins and also cheaper that Glutino's Both say gluten free right on the box.

Although specialty cereals I like Perky's Nutty Rice(NOT the Nutty Flax) and Nu-World Foods Amaranth Cereal Snaps - Cinnamon (NOT regular).

Yesterday, I bought some Berry Berry Kix, and some Honeycombs. Not my favs, but no Wheat, Barley or Malt listed.

glutino and natures path are my favorite cereals

Both items have oat flour, which is - outside of a two or three expensive specialty suppliers - pretty much universally contaminated. It is a personal decision, but be aware that commercial oats are a very risky item.

Whenever I eat cold cereals (even before going gluten-free), the ones I like have always been those plain natural puffed ones, like puffed rice, corn, and millet. To me they just taste good, even without anything on them. But some fresh berries, raisins, or various other fruits go well with them too.

I think the only gluten-free specialty one I ever tried was an amaranth cereal, and that was good too. Tasted like rice crispies, and even made the snap-crackle-pop noise.

We like the Envirokids, our favorite is Gorilla Munch, and also like Arrowhead Mills Maple Buckwheat Flakes. For a hot cereal like Cream of Wheat nothing comes close to Cream of Buckwheat we get the one made by Pocono. It is high in protein and great comfort food.

Cream of Rice always seemed fairly equal to Cream of Wheat to me, even before going gluten-free. I have since discovered Kasha, which is roasted buckwheat. I think it's truly yummy, and even has a slight "mapley" flavor IMO. From the very first time I tried it, I got the distinct impression of Wheatena, only with a pleasingly smooth, creamy texture. The grittiness of Wheatena was the one thing I didn't like about it. Kasha quickly takes on a wonderful aroma as it cooks too. I actually use it most often as a grain with a medley of veggies. Seems to go well with everything I've tried so far, including blending it with millet or brown rice.

I eat Rice Twice (by Erewhon) every day. It is very good with bananas on it or plain. Sometimes I add Dora the Explorer on top to make it sweet. I get it at Wild Oats.

We were at Walmart last night so I checked out the cereals...Trix now looks like it gluten free! Still wish we had more choices. Do any Walmarts carry envirokids?

It really burns my behind just how outrageously expensive gluten-free cereals are in the HFS's!!! As someone who grew up eating the more "sensible" cereals like raisin bran, bran flakes, total, wheaties, cheerios, Kizx...I really find the fruity, artificially colored cereals repulsive.

The one gluten-free cold cereal I LOVE the most, but I feel totally ripped off buying is an Amaranth Corn Flake it is really yummy in a Natural Grain kinda way. It has an Aztec on the front and I cannot think of the name at the moment. It is incredibly overpriced as are all the grossly undersized for the price boxes of gluten-free cereals.

When I am in the mood while making a bowl of gluten-free cereal for my son, I swipe a small handful of gorilla munch..,it looks like my kid days of Kix although it tastes to me more like Captain Crunch!!!

Fortunately for me as an American of Russian / Ukrainian heritage I LOVE Kasha or Buckwheat and eat it several times a week.

I did ONCE find a gluten Free cereal in a discount store (maybe discontinued???) it was a Gluten Free Buckwheat fllake (like the texture of cornflakes) slightly sweetened with maple...it tasted like Buckwheat pancakes with syrup. I thought I had died and gone to heaven because it was after I realized I was unhappy with the lack of nutrition in most gluten free cereals (they are all like rice or corn to me) and buckwheat was a comfort food taste from my childhood.

But I have never seen it again.

I second the Gorilla Munch!

[hipretty]

Woops I meant to say Kix...oh yeah and Grape Nuts were always more an adult cereal, but I loved that whole grain nutty taste. Here is another website that as if the gluten-free cereal is not expensive enough....they have to charge MORE for the cheeri O's type cereal we have long yearned for!!!

Is it just me, or do others find this upsetting? Especially the kid cereals...they must know how fast it goes...do they have to charge so dern much???

I do not know if any of you guys have a Wegmans around, but their brand of Organic Strawberry corn flakes are gluten free and they are actually very good. I eat them dry all the time (a habit I have always had)

OMG! I HOPE you meant to say Gluten Free and that you are not eating flakes with gluten!!!

[blueeyedmanda]

LOL, I just edited the post. I am trying to post and my Maine Coon cat loves my lap top anymore, so as I am typing he is stepping on the keys and I am trying to shoo him off....

[hipretty]

hahaha! I was hoping it was a typo and not that the flakes were so good, that even with Gluten, you couldn't stop eating them! :-)

Well in that case Strawberry Corn Flakes sound good to me...it's a shame I don't have a Wegman's! Enjoy!
