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.

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.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
