Glutino Honey Nut Cereal?

Hi, just wondering if anyone has tried Glutino's Honey Nut Cereal. Is it any good? Or is it like those awful PerkyO's? I don't want to waste money like I did on that cereal.

Thanks.

I tried it and I wasn't impressed, especially at that price. When I put it in milk it got very sticky. So sticky that it got stuck in all my molars and I had to keep picking it out so I could eat more. If you eat it dry it may be fine because it tasted ok, it just had a bad texture. I also like my cereal mushy and it was hard as well as sticky so it scraped the roof of my mouth. I won't buy it again.

I just bought a box last week, it tastes pretty good to me, I eat cereal dry so I can't help you with how it holds up in milk. It does not remind me of cheerios though, it has a different tastes and resembles something else but I just can't put my finger on it.

one of my girls thought it tasted like the cardboard box.

I really like the Glutino honey nut cereal. It's especially good for snacking on. To me it tastes a lot better than most of the other sweetened gluten free cereals.

I haven't tried the honey nut one yet, but I tried the apple cinnamon one last week and thought it was pretty good. It's expensive so I wouldn't buy it on a regular basis, but I would get it again when the mood strikes.

i think it's really expensive also so i don't buy it regularly but the honey nut was on sale once. tried it...i'm nuetral. i mean it was better than other gluten-free cereals, but something was off about it. and there was this giant chunk of brown stuff that smelled wierd that came tumbling out of the box which really grossed me out but i ate the rest of the box anyway cause i'm so poor right now... hahaha that was sad :)

but my dad bought the apple cinn. kind for me once and i thought that one was better. def better to snack on than with milk i thought. good luck! :)

:lol: Sorry Katrinamaria, but this just struck me as so funny :lol:

I've tried both, honey nut and the apple cinn. They are okay, but expensive, and I'm pretty sure I've developed an allergy to cinnamon, so won't buy it again.

I've also had the Perky Os .. the only thing I can say about them is that they actually have vitamins in them ... which is more than one can say about most gluten free foods.

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      Thanks for the explanation about the "brown sauce". I kind of suspected it might be a colloquialism but I wasn't sure. So, are these "brown" and "red" sauces commercial products or home made or can it be either?

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      Hi Trents, its a very English thing....there's red sauce (ketchup) and brown sauce, more spicy. People tend to be one or the other. Both usually have malt vinegar in them, so both a no-no for us, unless you hunt for a specified gluten-free make. Hi Belle, Any meat which has been processed is likely to have cereal in it. If someone is having a BBQ,...

      Brown sauce? What's that about? What does the color have to do with anything?

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      Hi @suek54 Good point. I hesitated over what to choose to eat - there were burgers and sausages and I knew that each came with potential wheat possibility. It was my friend who was cooking the BBQ at a local event. It's so tricky, isn't it? I ended up going for the burger and stupidly didn't think about the brown sauce but knew something gluten-containing...

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      Hi Belle Oops! Can you eat burgers OK? So many of them have added cereal to pad them out. Hope the after-effects are not too bad? I'm OK. Here in SE UK we are having a mini heatwave. 35° today. Keeping cool as much as possible to prevent itching from the heat. Otherwise not too bad thanks. Dapsone 100mg proving much better than 50mg....

Both usually have malt vinegar in them, so both a no-no for us,  unless you hunt for a specified gluten-free make.  Hi Belle, Any meat which has been processed is likely to have cereal in it. If someone is having a BBQ, maybe take a small steak, lamb chop or piece of salmon for yourself. something which has had no processing at all.  No-one will mind, just leave it on a piece of foil so that it doesn't share space with gluten-containing foods.  Avoid all dressings, except olive oil, though again you could always take your own gluten-free version. It sure is a steep learning curve but I'm getting my head round it now.  Sue

      Hi @suek54 Good point. I hesitated over what to choose to eat - there were burgers and sausages and I knew that each came with potential wheat possibility. It was my friend who was cooking the BBQ at a local event. It's so tricky, isn't it? I ended up going for the burger and stupidly didn't think about the brown sauce but knew something gluten-containing had been consumed as my legs were itching all over for hours when I went to bed on Sunday. Arrgh!  Actually, my initial thought was corn on the cob as I had that too... and it grows near wheat. Could it also have been that? Are you able to eat that?  I agree with you about the heat, I am finding it tricky too especially at night. I have had 3 itchy nights in a row and am at this point thinking I was silly not to ask about Dapsone at my derm appointment but maybe things will calm down now I am back on being more in control of my food. I also have some more topical steroid coming and that does keep it under control. I plan to visit my son in Scotland for a few days in July so am going to see how things go for a few weeks and if the itch does not calm again, I will do an e-consult with my GP and request Dapsone to try (or something that might just help a bit over that holiday, or longer term). I really don't relish the thought of being in Itch Hell on holiday, just want to enjoy seeing my son and his girlfriend.  So pleased to read that you are feeling more comfortable on the higher dose. I am really pleased for you and long may it continue for you.

Still a few itchy patches but no spots as such. Making life easier.  How are you generally (when not eating brown sauce)? Sue
