Yummy Gf Christmas Treat

I'm not sure how many have heard of this family favorite of ours but we refer to it as "puppy" chow. (chex cereal covered in chocolate,peanut butter and powdered sugar).

But I've tried my hand at a gluten-free version and it turned out really tastey! So for those who'd like a little christmas munchy for you or your kids give this recipe a whirl! (Please note, its certainly not calorie free!)

Gorilla Munch Cereal (Gluten free, and found my local Kroger, or Whole Foods grocery stores)

Melt down chocolate chips and peanut butter in a small sauce pan. Add as much as you desire of the Gorilla munch until it is completely coated with the peanut butter and chocolate.

Take a brown paper sack or ziplock baggy, fill it with powdered sugar, Add the coated cereal. Seal the bag and shake like crazy to coat the cereal with the powder sugar.

Empty the contents into a serving bowl, and there you have it.. "puppy chow". Its quite tasty, just not calorie free I'm afraid! :)

Enjoy!

Health Valley makes gluten-free corn crunch-em and rice crunch-ems that are a one-to-one substitute for chex, if that would help.

      Thank you 😊 I will certainly have those tests done to be thorough although bright red color indicates lower down.  This information is very interesting,  Thank you so much 🙏🏻

      As Plumbago mentioned, bleeding in the upper end of the GI track tends not to show up as bright red in color because it gets acted upon by the digestion process and more thoroughly mixed in with food residues that are passing through the intestines.

      @Bronwyn W Working with your medical provider, you could do a complete blood count test. If you were bleeding say from an ulcer in the stomach (and let's hope not), your red blood cells could be low and your hemoglobin low as well. Your stools may show up as the proverbial "dark and tarry," indicative of a bleeding site further away from the anus. Basically, you may be anemic. Your heart may be beating extra fast as a way to compensate for the decreased number of blood cells, your oxygen saturation may be lower than normal on a pulse oximeter, and so on. But talk to your doctor.

      Thank you for this insight. I have had rectal bleeding after glutening and subsequent constipation (+ IBS-C) and always attributed it to internal hemorrhoids (diagnosed). What I wasn't aware of is the possibility of bleeding further up the digestive tract. Please can you elaborate on the causes and symptoms to watch for?

      Still unsure.....

      Be sure to be eating gluten daily until all of your celiac disease tests are completed (at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for at least 6-8 weeks before any blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy).
