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!

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
