I haven't had any problems with the new Rice Chex....

Does the box of Rice Chex you got say gluten free on the front?? I have seen a lot of the older boxes next to the new ones recently. When they first came out with the new formula I didn't see any of the old box but recently I have.

Hope you feel better.

I just tried some yesterday, and I had no problems. It's a miracle!!!

I also got really bloated from the rice chex cereal (and it did say gluten free on the front). However, I seem to feel the same way by just eating plain brown rice. I also got really bloated from the rice based yogurt (Ricera). It's a bummer too, because it was really good - but I hate being bloated!

My daughter has been eating it without any problems. (And I like it to even though I don't have celiac) I'm hoping they come out with gluten-free Corn Chex.

I also get bloated from brown rice / rice bran. I wish I didn't because I really like the flavor, but . . . . .

I haven't tried the Rice Chex yet. Maybe I won't. :(

Just jumping in here - haven't been on for a very long time. RE cereals, I didn't know Rice Chex was ok to eat (for most of us). It would be great to have something new in my diet! Hope it works for me. I thought the only cereal I could ever eat was Trix. Trix has never bothered me and I've been eating it for about a year now. Also I used to be a big pancake eater. I've bought numerous kinds of mixes but they all still seem to bother my stomach somewhat. I'm honestly beginning to think it's the SYRUP! If I eat them without syrup, it seems to be ok (but wierd without it!). Any ideas on why syrup could be the culprit? Seems innocent enough. Thanks! If I get a reply for someone...I just may start checking in more often. :rolleyes: KarenDianne

Have been eating gluten-free rice chex every morning for several weeks now. On my third box. So far, so good.

Wrote an email to General Mills thanking them for reformulating rice chex to make them gluten-free. Never was a fav of mine before. Always liked the honey nut chex. But, gluten-free beggars can't be too choosy.

best regards, lm

KarenDianne-

I know pure maple syrup (the real stuff) is gluten-free. There are alot of syrups that are not. I can't remember why, maybe malt? I use the Eggo brand of syrup and do not have problems. I checked about a year ago and they were gluten-free.

We use the Maple Grove Farms syrup--says gluten-free on the bottle. It comes in maple flavor and butter flavor at the supermarket.

      My only proof

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12. Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins. Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer. The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time. Pyridoxine B 6 can...

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron. I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease...

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

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment. The cow's body builds that Casein protein. It doesn't come from wheat. Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people. This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response). It is not lactose intolerance...

      Wheatwacked, what exactly did you intend when you stated that wheat is incorporated into the milk of cows fed wheat?

      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes!

When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!
