I don't know about the Chex mix, but instead of butter, why not use a dairy-free margarine (if he can have soy). If you google you'll get a few brands, but I know Fleischmann's UNsalted is casein-free.

We use Health Valley's Corn and Rice Crunch'ems for "chex" mix. Can't tell the difference. Instead of butter, I use oil - olive, safflower, canola or grapeseed. It works just fine in the recipe.

Liz,

Could you give me an idea of proportions? I usually am good about improvising, but this is exactly the type of thing that makes me nervous-- I don't want the cereal to get soggy! :P

Could you post or pm your recipe? I'd soooo appreciate it!

Hi!

I'm so glad you asked b/c I make a mix that my whole family just loves.

1 bag of PerkyOs

2 C of nuts

1 C of sesame seeds

Raisins (optional)

Chocolate chips (optional)

1/3 c olive oil

2 T sugar

2 T curry powder

2 t ground ginger

salt

Preheat oven to 350F. In large mixing bowl combine PerkyOs, nuts, and sesame seeds. You really can put this in any proportion that you like...I just throw handfuls at will. In a small measuring cup, add 1/3 c of oil (you can use whatever you can tolerate...canola, vegetable, olive), heaping measurements of curry powder, ginger, sugar, salt. Stir with fork and pour over dry mixture. Fold well to thoroughly coat dry mixture. Spread mixture onto baking pan and bake for 20 minutes.

After toasting, let cool to room temperature, store in airtight container, and add raisins, chocolate chips if you wish. You can adjust the spices to fit your taste and even add a dash of red cayenne pepper to heat it up.

I also use this mixture on air popped popcorn (I reduce the portion) and it's delicious. My husband loves it and he can't stand the taste of untoasted PerkyOs...must be nice to have other options. :lol:

Enjoy!

Kim

      Make up. Is Mary Kay gluten-free?

      New onset constant gas

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      First, I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this—constant bloating and gas can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you’ve been so diligent with your gluten-free diet. Since nothing obvious has changed in your routine, a few possibilities come to mind: 1) Cross-contamination or hidden gluten (have you introduced new brands, eaten out more, or tried processed GF foods with questionable ingredients?), 2) New food intolerances (dairy, FODMAPs, or even GF grains like corn/rice can sometimes cause issues over time), 3) Gut dysbiosis (an imbalance in gut bacteria, possibly triggered by stress, antibiotics, or diet shifts), or 4) Non-celiac triggers (like SIBO or fructose malabsorption). You may also want to take choline supplements, as this helps some people. It might help to keep a detailed food/symptom log and try an elimination diet (e.g., cutting dairy or high-FODMAP foods temporarily). Probiotics or digestive enzymes could also offer relief while you investigate.

      Gluten free and oat free bars not sugary?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Finding gluten-free and oat-free bars that aren’t overly sugary can be tricky, but there are some great options out there! For your little adventurers, consider GoMacro Kids bars (many are GF/oat-free and lower in sugar), 88 Acres Seed Bars (sweetened lightly with fruit), or The Good Crisp Company’s protein bars (grain-free and not too sweet). For homemade ideas, try simple nut/seed bars with dates, almond butter, and chia—no baking needed! Packaged snacks like Chomps meat sticks, Simple Mills almond flour crackers, or seaweed snacks also work well for hikes. If they like savory, roasted chickpeas or lupini beans are protein-packed and easy to carry. Hope this helps—happy trails!

      Symptom treatment of gluten exposure with Anti-inflammatories

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Using anti-inflammatories for symptom management after inadvertent gluten exposure can be a helpful short-term strategy, particularly for reducing discomfort like inflammation, pain, or swelling. However, it shouldn’t replace strict adherence to a gluten-free diet as the primary treatment for conditions like celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. While NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen) or natural anti-inflammatories (e.g., turmeric) may provide relief, they don’t address the underlying immune response or intestinal damage caused by gluten. Additionally, long-term or frequent use of NSAIDs carries risks, such as gastrointestinal irritation. It’s best to consult a healthcare provider to tailor an individualized plan, which may include digestive enzymes, hydration, rest, and probiotics alongside anti-inflammatories when needed.

      Confused about my results

      By Russ H · Posted

      There is a predictive model for children on this link. Depends on sex, HLA genes and number of affected close relatives.  The model only goes up to age 12 so it would be interesting to know what the lifetime risk is. https://hputter.shinyapps.io/preventcd/
