I added this to the end of someone else's post about Chex, but I had to add it here as well. I was so excited in the store the other day when I saw the boxes, I called my Mom immediately to tell her. I am the only Celiac in the family, and no one was excited like I was. Hopefully I'll find a more excited crowd here!

A chex heads up...Rice, Corn, and Honey Nut chex are now all gluten free!!!! I am munching on a box of honey nut ones at the moment. For the honey nut chex, they took out the barley malt and replaced it with molassas and the corn chex I believe was replaced with rice malt. The front of the box now says gluten free and the back of the box has a wonderful little gluten free tidbit. It says "the irresistible flavor and hearty crunch of honey nut chex is now gluten free. Gluten free means that honey nut chex does not contain gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barely." Exciting stuff!

Not to me. About the Corn Chex that is. Haven't seen the Gluten Free box of Corn Chex yet. Have seen the Honey and Rice with Gluten Free on the front at Walmart.

Good to hear about the Corn Chex.

I am so waiting for the honey nut & corn chex to hit our area!! It is depressing that you can't have the good cereals. I'm with you, it is exciting news!!

The chocolate and strawberry chex are also gluten-free. They are just harder to find.

Fortunately good news never gets old, and we always have new people that haven't yet heard.

Is anyone else in Jersey? I keep looking in all the store I go to and the only Chex I am finding gluten free are the Rice Chex which are good but do get soggy quicker that the corn.

Honey Nut Chex actually does not contain peanuts, so you should be ok. Be aware it does contain almond ingredients however.

Still waiting on the stock at my local Publix to run out so they have to replace it with the newer products. I got tired of eating Rice Chex, so I've been eating waffles. I'm DYING for some Honey Nut ANYTHING! :lol:

I found some Honey Nut Chex in Ohio at a Wal-Mart in Mansfield. Let me just say, THEY ARE GREAT!!

Too bad for all of you, I bought them all---just kidding!! :P

Aren't the strawberry supposed to be gluten-free as well?

Thanks! I did not know this and now I do. It is nice to have a widely available brand sold at mainstream stores that I can get when I'm out of my home area and don't know where the local health food store is.

It might be old news for some, but I just found out last week. The chocolate chex are my favorite and it is fabulous to be able to find something yes, in a mainstream store, and at an affordable price. So very nice to be acknowledged and to have something easy and delicious to eat. Wow!

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      Thanks for the explanation about the "brown sauce". I kind of suspected it might be a colloquialism but I wasn't sure. So, are these "brown" and "red" sauces commercial products or home made or can it be either?

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      Hi Trents, its a very English thing....there's red sauce (ketchup) and brown sauce, more spicy. People tend to be one or the other. Both usually have malt vinegar in them, so both a no-no for us, unless you hunt for a specified gluten-free make. Hi Belle, Any meat which has been processed is likely to have cereal in it. If someone is having a BBQ,...

      Brown sauce? What's that about? What does the color have to do with anything?

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      Hi @suek54 Good point. I hesitated over what to choose to eat - there were burgers and sausages and I knew that each came with potential wheat possibility. It was my friend who was cooking the BBQ at a local event. It's so tricky, isn't it? I ended up going for the burger and stupidly didn't think about the brown sauce but knew something gluten-containing...

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      Hi Belle Oops! Can you eat burgers OK? So many of them have added cereal to pad them out. Hope the after-effects are not too bad? I'm OK. Here in SE UK we are having a mini heatwave. 35° today. Keeping cool as much as possible to prevent itching from the heat. Otherwise not too bad thanks. Dapsone 100mg proving much better than 50mg....

Both usually have malt vinegar in them, so both a no-no for us,  unless you hunt for a specified gluten-free make.  Hi Belle, Any meat which has been processed is likely to have cereal in it. If someone is having a BBQ, maybe take a small steak, lamb chop or piece of salmon for yourself. something which has had no processing at all.  No-one will mind, just leave it on a piece of foil so that it doesn't share space with gluten-containing foods.  Avoid all dressings, except olive oil, though again you could always take your own gluten-free version. It sure is a steep learning curve but I'm getting my head round it now.  Sue

      Hi @suek54 Good point. I hesitated over what to choose to eat - there were burgers and sausages and I knew that each came with potential wheat possibility. It was my friend who was cooking the BBQ at a local event. It's so tricky, isn't it? I ended up going for the burger and stupidly didn't think about the brown sauce but knew something gluten-containing had been consumed as my legs were itching all over for hours when I went to bed on Sunday. Arrgh!  Actually, my initial thought was corn on the cob as I had that too... and it grows near wheat. Could it also have been that? Are you able to eat that?  I agree with you about the heat, I am finding it tricky too especially at night. I have had 3 itchy nights in a row and am at this point thinking I was silly not to ask about Dapsone at my derm appointment but maybe things will calm down now I am back on being more in control of my food. I also have some more topical steroid coming and that does keep it under control. I plan to visit my son in Scotland for a few days in July so am going to see how things go for a few weeks and if the itch does not calm again, I will do an e-consult with my GP and request Dapsone to try (or something that might just help a bit over that holiday, or longer term). I really don't relish the thought of being in Itch Hell on holiday, just want to enjoy seeing my son and his girlfriend.  So pleased to read that you are feeling more comfortable on the higher dose. I am really pleased for you and long may it continue for you.

Still a few itchy patches but no spots as such. Making life easier.  How are you generally (when not eating brown sauce)? Sue
