Rice Chex

Hello all!

I was so excited about the new "gluten free" labeling on Rice Chex. I began eating them and my gut swelled - very slowly over days. I kept trying to put it on other things, but I didn't add anything new during that time.

I have only been on the diet for a little over a year, so I am so super careful, I am not used to getting gluten in a low dose. Either I have been "glutened" or had no reaction yet.

Has anyone else reacted yet to the Rice Chex? Is this what it is like to have gluten in a low dose? My symptoms was just swelling, slightly crazy feeling, and tons of gas. :blink:

Thanks for input in advance!

We've eaten a whole box of them in our house, and have not had any reaction.

Hope you get to the bottom of things.

The symptoms you describe are what happen to me when I eat rice bran. Check the ingredient list for that.

In the past week I have ate 2 boxes of the chex cereal with no ill effects. Hope you are feeling better.

Thanks for your help! It must be something else. In the gluten-filled world we live in--let's face it--it could be anything.

I will give them another try. Thanks! :)

So are you saying the ingredients haven't changed (i.e. have malt flavoring) but are labeled as gluten free?

The ingredients changed, but I thought maybe there was CC going on.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Talk to your doctor about switching to an antihistamine, and supplementing essential vitamins and minerals. Dietary changes (low carb/paleo) may be beneficial for you. Have you talked to a dietician or nutritionist about a nutrient dense gluten free diet? It's harder to get all the vitamins needed from a gluten free diet. Gluten containing products are...

      I’m pretty sure they do. I have been on myfortic, tacrolimus since 2021 for my liver transplant and added prednisone after kidney transplant. I’m going to try to cut back omeprazole to 20 mg a day and then after a week try to stop altogether. Thank you for your help.

      A gastroenterologist doing an endoscopy. Biopsies would be taken to be examined microscopically. Do your anti-rejection medications cause digestive problems?

      Thank you Knitty Kitty, what type of doctor would diagnose Barrett’s esophagus? What is involved in the testing? Thanks!

      Top Celiac Disease Travel Destinations and How to Eat Gluten-Free Abroad

      I had a wonderful experience in Istanbul last Spring. Before I left home, I purchased cards written in Turkish explaining that I had celiac and explaining what I could not eat. The restaurant owners were so accommodating and caring. I stayed well the entire time we were in Istanbul.

      Talk to your doctor about switching to an antihistamine, and supplementing essential vitamins and minerals.  Dietary changes (low carb/paleo) may be beneficial for you.  Have you talked to a dietician or nutritionist about a nutrient dense gluten free diet?   It's harder to get all the vitamins needed from a gluten free diet.  Gluten containing products are required to be enriched or fortified with vitamins and minerals lost in processing.  Gluten free facsimile processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified.  So we have to buy our own vitamin supplements.   Glad to be of help.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38,  Are you taking a B Complex vitamin?  Vitamin D?  Thiamine in the form TTFD or Benfotiamine? I think increasing my B Complex vitamins and taking additional Thiamine and Vitamin C and zinc helps along with the Lysine.
