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?

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
