Rice Chex Cereal!

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 bought a box at Wal-Mart today and it says gluten-free right on the front!!!!! I just ate a bowl and can't wait to eat more!

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!!!

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

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

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      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 y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      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.
