Rice Chex

I got so excited when I got my first box of gluten free Rice Chex. I checked out the recipes on the site, so got the wheels turning here. I had a bag of Kraft strawberry marshmallows. I used the Rice Chex and the marshmallows and made "rice chex treats" I have used other gluten free cereals, but the Rice Chex have a better taste. They have so many Chex recipes on the site and most will work just using the rice chex and can't wait to try others. I even crushed a cup of Rice Chex last night and used them in my meat loaf. I am thinking the possibilities are endless. I'm having fun with them, how about anybody else? I was even happy to just sit down with a bowl of Rice Chex and milk.

I made this too (we call it Muddy Buddies here :) ) and ate it every night after dinner. So delicious. I've also been bringing it to work with me and eating it plain for snacks. I had a bowl with strawberries and milk too, but the milk made my tummy hurt. I LOVE RICE CHEX!!! ;)

Are they a lot better than the Health Valley Rice Crunch'ems? They're a LOT more expensive here and I'm a bit confused as to why everyone is so excited. I can get the HV ones for $2.50 for a 17 oz box and the Rice Chex are $4.29 for a 12.8 oz box.

Walmart has them for $2.50 a box.

wow, i've never tried the health valley ones, but if they're that much cheaper, you ought to stick with them. i guess it's just the whole "having a food taken away from you, and then having it be ok again" that's got everyone excited. :)

My local grocery store doesn't have them in yet but Walmart had them so I bought two boxes because I was so excited to see them.

They are kinda boring so I admit I put sugar on them, bananas if we have them.

I've been eating a lot of Rice Chex the last week, myself. My husband bought me 2 boxes and he joked yesterday that he should have bought 10!!!! :P

I hadn't thought about making anything with them yet - I've been way TOO BUSY eating them. The rice chex treats sound heavenly, though.

Thanks for the ideas!!!!

Liz, I would say that is exactly the opposite for me!! . . . And the Crunch'ems are actually closer to $5.

Most (if not all) of the gluten-free cereals here are from just under $4 or higher. I've paid as much as $7 for some Blue Roo Vita-Pro, which I didn't like. HV Crunchems were $3.79 last time I bought some, about six months ago. They are definately the best for their type that I've found, although they are still "light" compared to the real things IMO. I grew tired of them.

Have yet to find anything close to acceptable gluten-free corn flakes.

Our Walmart sells Rice chex for $2.50, but they don't have the barley malt free ones yet.

best regards, lm

I was thinking that the rice chex could replace some things in cooking. Breading? What I was really thinking was a crust though for a summer pie.

I haven't checked the price in our normal grocery stores here in town but WalMart has them for $2.89 and I looked when I went to Target last week and they were $2.54ish.

Thanks for posting that the Chex site has recipes on it to get ideas from :D

It seems like they might have had one on the General Mills site under the chex recipes. Seems like they used it for breading too.

These posts opened up a whole new world to me! I would have never noticed they were gluten free. Thank you so much. It's like a blast from my gluten filled past. :P

That's how I felt when I first read about them. I even went as far as writing to General Mills thanking them for making my day.

Found some! (At Rainbow in Coon Rapids, MN, if anyone cares.)

The Health Valley ones are also more expensive for me, and my sister and I both sort of concluded that we didn't feel great after eating those. I've always wondered why they don't say gluten-free on the box.

Anyhoo, I haven't opened my Chex, yet, but I have used the HV ones crushed to bread chicken tenders, and we thought they were pretty good.

I'm loving the marshmallow treats idea - hadn't thought of that! Might even do PB ones and quit buying those pricey Envirokids bars for the boy.

Yes, ma'am!! But watch carefully - gluteny ones are still VERY available. But the gluten-free ones say so right on the front of the box. :lol:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10). Since then it has gone up to 10. I am not happy with that. I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I...

      Low iron and vitamin d

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?
