Whole Grain Corn?

[LovelyLisa]

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.

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...
