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).

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.

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.

:D 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.

OMG! I just googled Buckwheat flakes maple and gluten free and found them there~~~~

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)

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....:)

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!

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
