Everyone may already know, but i just wanted to spread the word....on friday General Mills announced that Rice Chex cereal will now be GLUTEN FREE!! The statement i read says that it will be made on a dedicated production line, so there should have no cross contamination issues. There will still be some old boxes on shelves with new boxes so be sure to check the box before you but it. The new boxes have already begun to hit stores, so if you can't find it yet it should be there soon.

On a personal note: I am SOOO tired of coco pebbles, as is my daughter, and this was always one of my favorite cereals, so i am ridiculously excited about this. kudos to General Mills! :-D

YAY!!!!! :D:D Way to GO GM!!! WE too are tired of Coco pebbles. although I think my kids could eat it every morning, I hate that it is sooo messy and sticks to the table like glue <_< We actually usualy make it into COco Crispies becasue it is actually easier to clean up this way :) WE will be watching the shelves!

I just found some boxes at Target last night....says Gluten Free on the box (right on the front too, not on the side in microscopic print, lol)! Yay. And I'm happy to see that it is fortified with 50% DV iron. It's so nice to have more and more cereal choices, they make great on the go snacks for the kids, or mix-ins for a trail mix.

I wish they would make corn chex gluten free as well. I really like them better and I think my son would too.

:D Thank you!!!

My boys go through cereal like nothing. Plus I like Chex!

They are using molasses instead of barley malt.

Just be patient. The stores have to get rid of the old kind first. I bought mine at Walmart. It will be carried at all stores because that is all they are making know. It states gluten-free right on the front of the box.

I've only been able to find it at Super Walmart so far. I'm not in Dallas though, I'm in Mckinney. I have also noticed that the old Rice Chex at other grocery stores are all on sale, like they are getting ready for the new boxes. I'm sure they'll be everywhere pretty soon.

I am new to the gluten free diet.....i live in the Sherman area. Where do you shop? The closest Whole foods that I see is in Plano. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks! :D

I usually shop at Market Street, it's in Mckinney off Eldorado and Ridge Road. It's kind of like a smaller scale Central Market. They have an isle with many of the commonly used gluten-free foods, as well as a freezer with Kinnikinnick items. I haven't really had to go to Whole Foods at all. If I go to any other stores, they are usually in Frisco. There is a Sprouts, as well as Family Health Market off Preston Road. But really, most everything I use is found at Market Street. Hope that helps!

I am on my second box after finally finding it at Wal-Mart. I had given up on ever eating decent cereal again. Tried some of that other stuff tastes like dirty cardboard with a little honey on it. YUCK

The first night I was sitting on my couch eating and my husband was in the other room laughing at the noises I was making. YUMMY!!!

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold. Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it. Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized. There's some question as to how well multivitamins...

      @Scatterbrain, What supplements are you taking? I agree that the problem may be nutritional deficiencies. It's worth talking to a dietician or nutritionist about. Did you get a Marsh score at your diagnosis? Was your tTg IgA level very high? These can indicate more intestinal damage and poorer absorption of nutrients. Are you eating...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can make TMJ worse. Vitamins like B12 , Thiamine B1, and Pyridoxine B6 help relieve pain. Half of the patients in one study were deficient in these three vitamins in one study below. Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease. It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune...

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/

Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease.  It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that has similarities to the Mediterranean diet mentioned in one of the studies.   Is there a link between diet and painful temporomandibular disorders?

      Yes.  I have had the tmj condition for 40 years. My only help was strictly following celiac and also eliminating soy.  Numerous dental visits and several professionally made bite plates  did very little to help with symptoms
