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.

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.

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.

      Thank you both very much. I’m pretty familiar with the various tests, and my older two girls with official dxs have even participated in research on other tests as well.

      Hopefully the biopsy gives a conclusive and correct diagnosis for your daughter. Im in the UK and have been in the situation a few years ago of trying to rule celiac in or out after inconclusive results. Many symptoms pointing to it including the classic symptoms and weight loss and folate and iron deficiency. You have to play a waiting game. I also had the label of IBS and likely food allergy. Genetic test showed low risk for celiac but not no risk. It sounds like the Gastroenterologist is on it and hopefully will diagnose what it is correctly. Food hypersensitivity (allergy) can also cause similar symptoms and inflammation as well as mimicking IBS. Milk / dairy and wheat (cereal grains) being the biggest culprits. The “oesophagitis” and “gastritis” you mentioned can be caused by another gastrointestinal disorder called “eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders”. These are named depending on which part of the gastrointestinal tract is affected. For example eosinophilic oesophagitis, eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, and more rare eosinophilic colitis. They are antigen (allergen) driven. When the blood test measuring anti-ttg antibodies is positive in absence of a positive ema test - which is more specific to celiac, this can also suggest food hypersensitivity (allergy). Usually delayed type allergy similar to celiac but not autoimmune if that makes sense. In this case the ttg antibodies are transient. Which happens. I’ve first hand experience. For info, evidence of villous atrophy too can be caused by food hypersensitivity. Not just by celiac disease. In Egid disorders the six food elimination diet, under a dietitian and gastroenterologist care, is the dietary protocol to figure out the culprit or culprits. Sometimes only two food elimination diet is used at first. The number one culprit is milk protein / dairy. Followed by wheat, eggs, soy, fish and seafood, and nuts. Most are only reactive to one food group or two. Most are only reactive to milk. Hope this is a helpful reply.

The “potential” diagnosis means celiac is developing and it basically just hasn’t done enough gut damage to be captured on the biopsy yet, and meet that “criteria” to satisfy the current system! Given the overwhelming evidence already - family history, positive ttg and ema. And your own experience and intuition which counts far more. And the labs being reproduced after gluten elimination and reintroduction- elimination and reintroduction diet is the gold standard too. Shame on the Doc and the system. What was the Marsh score? I’m guessing not 0 if it’s potential celiac. Meaning the autoimmune process has been triggered and started. Your daughter is obviously very healthy and her immune system is putting up a good fight. It can take years for the gut damage to build to a point where there’s overt symptoms and then a conclusive diagnosis, hence why many celiacs receive diagnosis later in life. You can prevent it. See the positive and the gift in that. Hopefully the gluten challenge confirms it, but if it doesn’t maybe get a second opinion?

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Gigi2025  Thank you for your interesting post.  Some of what you say chimes with something my gastroenterologist tells me - that he has clients who travel to France and find the same as you  - they will eat normal wheat baguette there without issue, for example.  His theory was he thought it might be to do with the locally sourced wheat being different to our own in the UK? But I have to say my own experience has been quite different. I have been to France twice since my diagnosis, and have been quite ill due to what was then (pre-2019)  poor labelling and cross-contamination issues.  My TTG test following my last visit was elevated - 'proof of the pudding', as we say in the UK!  It was not just a case of eating something like, say, shellfish, that disagreed with me - gluten was clearly an issue. I've also been to Italy to visit family a couple of times since my diagnosis.  I did not want to take any chances so kept to my gluten free diet, but whilst there what I did notice is that coeliacs are very well catered for in Italy, and many brands with the same ingredients in the UK are clearly marked on the front of their packaging that they are 'senza glutine'.  In the UK, you would have to find that information in the small print - or it puts people off buying it, so I am told!  So it seems to me the Italians are very coeliac aware - in fact, all children are, I believe, screened for coeliac disease at the age of 6.  That must mean, I guess, that many Italian coeliacs are actively avoiding gluten because, presumably, if they don't, they will fall ill?

I just felt overwhelmed and shocked that these recent results (which I found pretty dang conclusive after having scott clean labs just six months ago) would still be considered inconclusive. Doc said we could biopsy in another six weeks because my daughter was actually way more upset than I anticipated about the idea of eating it for years before doing another biopsy. It doesn’t hurt her, but she’s afraid of how it may be hurting her in ways she can’t feel. She’s currently eating mini wheats for breakfast, a sandwich with lunch, and a side of pasta along with every dinner, so I’m hoping we’re meeting that 10g benchmark mentioned in that second article!
