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 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 finally found it this week at our Walmart. They were slow getting it in! I think my reaction embarrassed the kids though! :P

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!!!

      Have I got coeliac disease

      Vitamin D status in the UK is even worse than the US.  vitamin D is essential for fighting bone loss and dental health and resistance to infection.  Mental health and depression can also be affected by vitamin D deficiency.  Perhaps low D is the reason that some suffer from multiple autoimmune diseases.  In studies, low D is a factor in almost all of the autoimmune diseases that it has been studied in. Even while searching for your diagnosis, testing your 25(OH)D status and improving it my help your general wellness. Vitamin D Deficiency Affects 60% in Britain: How to Fix It?

      Hey there, have you been tested for allergies? You may not only have celiac disease but be allergic. I have celiac disease and am allergic to Barley, wheat and rye.

      I have osteopenia and have cracked three vertebrae.  Niacin is connected to osteoporosis! Do talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with B vitamins.  Blood tests don't reveal the amount of vitamins stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system and can reflect vitamins absorbed from food eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Those "normal limits" are based on minimum amounts required to prevent disease, not levels for optimal health.   Keep us posted on your progress.   B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9662251/ Association of dietary niacin intake with osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women in the US: NHANES 2007–2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11835798/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/   Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8398893/ Nutritional Consequences of Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet https://www.mdpi.com/2036-7422/15/4/61 Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/
