Rice Chex

So...every day I have been visiting this board and in the upper left corner there has been an ad sitting there, taunting me! It says "We heard you - Rice Chex are now gluten free!" Hurray! I love Rice Chex! So I went to the store today and recalling the ad, I stopped in the cereal isle to check out rice chex. I look on the side for a list of ingredients and to my dismay there it is...right in the middle of the little paragraph..."Barley Malt Extract." GRRRR!

So what's the deal? Why the ad? Someone is going to get glutened! :blink:

You must watch for the new box. The new box says Gluten Free on the front. There are still some old boxes out there and yes, they do still contain gluten. The company has not dedicated a line completely to Rice Chex, just for gluten free. From what I understand, if the product goes over well, they may make more of their Chex cereals gluten free. Keep watching and you will find the right box. Walmart, Target's, even many of the grocery stores do have the new box. So far, it's only in one size, 12.8 oz box. We promise, it's out there!!!!

Yep, your store must still have the old boxes out. The new ones say Gluten Free and there is no barley listed. I have found the new boxes for a few weeks now in one grocery store but at others not so much luck. Keep looking though :)

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease. 
    • JettaGirl
      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.
