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?

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
