Ok. I have made chex mix before. I made the orig version (using rice and corn crunch'ems). It was good. Now I am craving maybe a ranch flavor kind. Any good recipes?? Or even recipes for other flavors. I'd love to hear them!!

Oh here is my next challenge. I can't have nuts right now (diverticulitis) so give me some other things to put in there....I am thinking maybe cornnuts!! What are your ideas?

Thanks in advance for the help!!

I always add the small glutino pretzels with good results.

Can't help with other flavors, since the 'classic' version is my favorite.

My kids and I were just talking about this. I used to put those baby saltine crackers in there (my store called them oyster crackers)...anyway....we have been trying to think of a substitute. My daughter likes the Nature's Path puffed corn cereal - it's like pop corn without the kernal in it. It's really neat - i bet it would work great in a chex type mix.

Oh gosh I had forgotten ALL about those little oyster crackers...and people would coat them with some sort of a ranch seasoning and those were SO good.

I also used to love the Munchee's mix from Lay's....has sun chips, nacho dorritos, all kinds of gluteny things! ha

I'm still pondering what to make and how to make it.......keep the ideas comming!!

Different ways I've heard about:

Use mexican taco seasoning instead of seasoned salt - and don't use the worchestershire.

Another way was to use an asian seasoning mix (like 5 spice powder), and use soy sauce (San-J Wheat Free Tamari is gluten free) instead of the worchestershire.

For sweet ones I've heard to use peanut butter instead of butter (but still melt it) then in a baggie, mix powdered sugar and cocoa together (I think equal parts). Coat the cereals and stuff with the peanut butter well and then shake in the baggie - I'm not sure that you bake this one after coating like you do the others. But I think they're called "muddy buddies".

I've often thought what it would be liek to make them more of a cinnamon sugar and use butter and then bake them a little....of course....I guess it would taste alot like a cinnamon cereal! LOL :D

couldn't you use those little hidden valley or whatever packets of ranch flavoring (that you're supposed to mix with sour cream)? i'm not sure if they're gluten-free i don't really use them, but that's what i thought of cause i know my mom uses them for different things. good luck!

agree on the glutino pretzals--delish!

No but you can make your own with Health Valley's Corn Crunch'ems and Rice Crunch'ems. We use the glutino pretzels, too.

A friend of mine made a spicy version with frank's hot sauce and chili powder added. I'll take a look and see if I can find it. It was flamin' !!! but good!!!

NO!!!! It contains Barley Extract. They actual "Chex" ARE NOT GLUTEN FREE!!! Sorry to be emphatic.

Health Vally Rice & Corn Chrunchems are. And they are BETTER than real live Chex. Even my kids like them better. :D

For ranch flavored Chex mix I would use butter and a packet of ranch flavoring mix. I think Hidden Valley's is gluten free, but I'm not sure. Cool Ranch Doritos would be really good in a ranch flavored chex mix.

On the side of the boxes of Crunch Ems there's an awesome recipe for honey nut Chex mix. This is what our family always makes because it is so darn good. If you haven't tried it already, I highly recommend it. It would be good even without the nuts.

Are soy nuts real nuts? Perhaps you could use them. Sunflower seeds would be good in chex mix. Raisins might also be good in a sweet version of chex mix.

Huh - the last I had heard, Hidden Valley's dry packet was NOT gluten free. Maybe I'm wrong, though. It'd be great if it was... My mom (also celiac) uses Simply Organic Ranch Dip mix instead of the Hidden Valley kind. I haven't tried it yet, but she says it's pretty tasty.

I called the company several weeks ago as I was craving my mom's raw veggie dip and Hidden Valley is gluten free.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
