Gluten Free Rice Cereals For Babies

Hello,

can anyone recommend a gluten free rice cereal? Many people like nestle rice cereal but the box does not claim gluten free like Milupa does. And since these companies also make barley and oat cereal im not sure if i can be assured there is no cross contamination. Does anyone have any experiences they'd like to share???

It's not a baby product, the only ingredient is oven-roasted organic whole grain brown rice.

I am the infant specialist in my program, and so- in addition to feeding my little one have heard lots of comments about this... Earth's best was the only gluten free rice cereal anyone could find until recently when Happy Bellies just started production... my son (although 21 months) loves this mixed in his foods, it is a brown rice cereal with probiotics, and does say right on the label that it is gluten free... I've only seen it at health food stores, and it is pretty new I understand.

The Lundberg Farms Hot Rice Cereal is a bit textury for babies. I tried it on my LO. He never has gotten used to the texture, maybe now that he is 1, I'll try again.

Dr. Fasano's Pediatric Fellow (can't remember her name) told me Beech Nut was safe. I used Beech Nut. I called Gerber and the woman I was tranfered to on allergens told me it was manufactured in a completely different facility and not open to Cross Contamination issues -- good b/c preflavored apple or banana rice cereal was "easy" and I need all the ease I can get.

The more people who call and ask the better the future will be. They can note that many want to know and might start labeling the boxes. Who knows...

Always call for yourself, especially when it comes to babies and their foods. My older kids I'll take the risk and trust another mom. But I say call b/c some areas of the US might have different manufacturing processes.

I actually prefer those plain ones, like puffed rice, and puffed corn - which are usually in health stores. Not much texture to them, so I'd think babies wouldn't have difficulty digesting them. One thing I tried with the corn was to put a couple teaspoons of water in a bowl, add some pure Stevia powder, and toss the cereal around in the bowl so it would pick up some moisture. Then I spread the cereal out on a cookie sheet and popped it in the oven for a few minutes. This makes the cereal have a pleasant crispiness, and the sweetness typically associated with cold cereals.

But again, that was the corn one, so just how the rice would turn out I can only speculate. Seems like it should work though. The corn might be a bit large for babies too, not to mention more allergy concerns.

Now that I think of it, a bit of cinnamon might be a nice touch. Just be sure to feed the baby first!

<EDIT>

I just occurred to me that you might be talking about infants, as in no teeth?

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.

      TTG IgA 0.30 U/ml: further tests?

      By lookingforanswersone · Posted

      Thanks everyone. I've decided to do a gluten challenge (4 slices of bread a day for 3 months) and then do a full gluten panel of all the tests that can be done, just to rule it in or out for sure. I think otherwise psychologically it will keep bothering me

      Thanks Scott. Those articles are really interesting. I’m cutting out gluten for 6 weeks but honestly I’m not sure I even want to reintroduce it! I ate at a restaurant for the first time on Wednesday and then Thursday was really uncomfortable and had a few trips to the loo.. wonder if there was some cross contamination 🤷‍♀️ if that’s how my body reacts after not eating it for 3 weeks I’m not sure it’s worth reintroducing it and re testing for celiac! It might have been a coincidence I realise that I’m not going to feel better all of a sudden and my gut is probably still trying to heal. Thanks for your supportive message!

      Reference range 0.00 to 10.00 means that within that range is normal, so not celiac. There are other antibodies that can be present in celiac disease and they don’t all have to be positive to have celiac.  I’m sure someone else will post a link to an article describing them! Plus, if you are IgA deficient the celiac IgA tests won’t be accurate.

      Great to have another UK person on the forum!   Re: blood tests, it sounds as if you are being well monitored but if you have any further concerns about blood tests or anything else, do not hesitate to start a new thread. Cristiana
