Is whole grain corn safe to eat? Also whole grain oats? I just bought this cereal called My Friends Tigger and Pooh corn puffs and I wasn't sure. It doesn't have whole grain oats in it but Kix does and I wasn't sure. Do You know of cereals that ARE safe to eat? So far I've found trix, fruity pebbles, cocoa pebbles, rice chex- new one,dora the exploreer cinnamon stars and that's 'bout it. Also other breakfast foods in general like we found these tapioca rice English muffins and their really good but what about pancakes? THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE IF YOU CAN ANSWER EVEN ONE QUESTION!

If you list the ingredients of the Corn Puffs cereal, I'm sure someone would be happy to help interpret the ingredients.

Oats are only safe if they are oats that are specially packaged and say that they are gluten free. There are a only a few companies that sell gluten free oats.

I'm not sure about the Tigger cereal, although as Happygirl said- we can help if you list the ingredients. :)

I do buy Trix, Rice Chex, and Pebbles cereals, too. There's a couple others I like, but they're usually found in health food stores or Whole Foods- not mainstream grocery stores.

- Envirokids Gorilla Munch. This has a similar taste to Kix (Kix is NOT safe,) although the little "puffs" are a lot harder/crunchier.

- Envirokids Peanut Butter something or other. Basically a peanut butter Gorilla Munch. A little sweet/rich for me, but the kids like it dry as a snack.

- Erehwon Brown Rice Cereal With Berries. One of my favorites. It's a bit like Rice Crispies (also NOT safe) with berries.

Perky-Os. My kids LOVE the apple cinnamon variety.

My kids and I are big cereal eaters. General Mills has said that they'll be adjusting more of their cereals to be gluten-free, and that Rice Chex was only the first. :D

I get that cereal off and on and haven't really had a problem with it. Since it is not gluten free (labeled) you may come across a box where it may have been CC. I have had that happen where I would feel fine with one box but then not with another one. If you end up liking the ceral I would make sure each time you buy the box to look at the ingredients. I have not seen this one change but have read on here about other cereals changing ingredients sometimes.

I am not really a cereal person so I make pancakes and freeze them instead.

Edit: Here is the Whole Grains Council website shows a chart of gluten grains and gluten free ones...

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
