Question About Cereals

[smilemaker]

Does anyone know if the regular cereals like Kix, Rice chex, Frosted Flakes, Rice Krispies,etc, are ok? I know that most of them contain malt, malt flavoring, or either malted barley. I'd love some help with this if anyone can answer this. Also, Captain Crunch and acouple of others have corn meal and oats in them, are they safe?

Absolutely no to Rice Krispies and Frosted Flakes. I wouldn't get anything with oats.....CC. Rice Chex is safe if it says Gluten Free on the box. Don't know about Kix. Dora Stars are supposed to be safe.

Kix are out . . . they have oats (oat bran, I think)

Mainstream cereals:

Trix (read the package to make sure, they label their gluten sources)

Fruity Pebbles

Coco Pebbles

Dora Stars

Tigger & Pooh

Rice Chex (this is fairly new, it will say gluten-free on the box somewhere, they've changed their labeling again)

Anything with malt/malt flavoring etc is out. Corn meal is OK but oats in a mainstream product would be from a cross contaminated source.

Specialty cereals

Amazon Flakes (similar to Frosted Flakes)

Erewhon Crispy Rice (similar to Rice Krispies . . . use for your "Rice Krispy Treats")

Gorilla Munch (similar to Kix)

Rice Chex is our favorite (with a little cinnamon and sugar)

For special occasions, we like Fruity Pebbles and Dora Stars.

The gluten-free EnviroKids cereals are pretty good too but are pricey.

You can get gluten-free corn flakes. I can't remember the brand now because I don't have any. I have gotten them at the health food store and also Big Lots. I really stocked up at Big Lots!

Fruity pebbles are nice and safe. That's what we eat for breakfast a lot!
