Our local grocery sells Rice Chex for $3.99 for a stupid 10-oz box, and the Target in the same shopping center sells a larger box for $1.68!

Yay Target!

celiacs love rice chex!

but stock up now while the price is low. my local Walmart did the same thing a few months back...at first they were $1.66 a box. then the price went up to $2.00 and now it's $2.98. still cheaper than the grocery stores but the price doubled in a matter of a few months.

i found it on sale at genuardi's (safeway) earlier this week, but the sale is over. so keep you eye out there, too!

Also keep your eye out for coupons. I snagged a bunch of boxes that had coupons for $3 off when you buy any 3 GM cereals.

I got excited about the Target deal when someone else reported it, but when I went looking, the cost was well over $3 - pretty comparable to everywhere else. I did get in on the $1.66 Walmart deal, though. I'll keep watching Target.

Seems to be on sale often, but Target gets half our business for being consistently lower on many items.

I didn't think rice chex were gluten free.

The formula was changed a few months ago, and the new formula is gluten-free.You have to look at the box, since the old stuff may still be available in stores, but the new production is gluten-free.

Rice Chex is not only now gluten free, but they make a big old deal about it on the box, and one of the side panels tells all about celiac disease and gluten sensitivity!!

I found it at that price at my Target a few weeks ago. I bought 10 boxes most of which I'm planning to send to my friend who is at a convent in NY. She said there are a seminarian and friar who both have celiac and when a cereal is donated that they can eat everyone gets so excited, LOL. When she visited last I sent back some gluten-free foods with her for them. The price at Target means I can send them several boxes of gluten-free cereal that I know will be greatly appreciated!

I just realized that I forgot to put the cost in my post abouve about Safeway (genuardi's)...it was $1.50 per box...the cheapest I have seen anywhere, and I almost didn't believe it so double and triple checked the sign and also when paying for it. I don't know if it will go that low again, but I check every time I go in!

      Thanks for the reply.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
