Safeway Brand Rice Pockets

I bought a box of this last night and after eating a few bowls, I fell asleep on my floor. :huh:

Anyhow, thirteen hours later I woke up and was slightly confused as to why it was nine a.m. Also, my fingers are pretty swollen. Weird.

My usual reaction to gluten includes mouth sores, diarrhea, falling asleep (even if I am in the middle of a conversation), and the usual stomach pangs. I also get really bloated yet I'm having pancreas issues which cause my stomach to swell.

I'll call tomorrow and ask Safeway if their Oven Toasted Rice Cereal is 100% gluten free but in the meantime I'm a bit curious. It says Gluten Free on the packaging and there's no warning regarding shared facilities.

Also, I used Light Silk Soy Milk and I usually drink almond. (It was on sale.)

However, I've had Silk Soy Milk before and it definitely didn't have this effect.

I also bought a box of Safeway brand rice pockets having bought Chex brand before with no issues. I have had a reaction these last three days and I now suspect the Safeway rice pockets so I trashed them to be safe.

You need to read the ingredients on products, especially the ones not labelled gluten free. We can't assume that one brand's rice cereal is gluten free because Chex is. Most of these cereals use malt to sweeten them - making them not gluten-free.

Unfortunately the box did say gluten free same as chex did. There was however no allergen info in the ingredient box and I am not sure that it is a requirement to state the risk of cross contamination.

Safeway has been doing a nice job of gluten-free recently. I believe they test in accordance with the upcoming gluten-free laws. You might check that. I don't remember what the name of the Safeway brand is, so I can't look it up.

      Canker sores

      i used to get cold sores frequently before I went gluten free. Then I only got them when stressed. Then I cured my gut dysbiosis, and haven't had one in 20 years.

      Pear Bread

      To me, this bread is pretty special. The first time I tried adapting it I used a commercial gluten-free flour blend and it was good, but when I experimented using individual flours I tried the almond flour and it took it from good to special. I add walnuts or pecans to a lot of my desert bread recipes but I haven't tried nuts with this one. I would guess...

      Sorghum, Kale and Roasted Cherry Tomato Salad

      It's kind of funny that before my celiac diagnosis I did a lot more "functional eating" where I just needed a meal and wasn't so worried about how interesting/delicious it was, just needed to eat something. After my diagnosis I've become a dedicated cook and I am very tuned into flavor and novelty. In answer to your question, I find the recipe very forgiving...

I add walnuts or pecans to a lot of my desert bread recipes but I haven't tried nuts with this one. I would guess that adding either of them would result in the whole being less than the sum of the parts because the almond and other nut flavors would be competing. I wouldn't want to add almonds because of the texture. But you never know until you try. Have not tried cinnamon in this recipe. I imagine it would work. As I modified this recipe from the original, I reduced the sugar. The posted recipe is what I currently use. You are right that the pears bring a little sweetness to it.

      It's kind of funny that before my celiac diagnosis I did a lot more "functional eating" where I just needed a meal and wasn't so worried about how interesting/delicious it was, just needed to eat something. After my diagnosis I've become a dedicated cook and I am very tuned into flavor and novelty. In answer to your question, I find the recipe very forgiving for trying add-ins. I've supplemented the greens with green onions, bell pepper (any color), celery leaves and stalks, and fresh parsley. Sometimes I throw in pepitas (pumpkin seeds), craisins, walnuts and/or sunflower seeds. One thing I tried that didn't really work was currants. I think that maybe it's because they are too small and too sweet. I haven't experimented with cheeses beyond the 2 in the recipe. I would guess that grated hard cheeses would work, medium hard cheeses (like swiss or cheddar) might work, and soft cheeses would not.

      Pear Bread

      By Harris · Posted

      That actually sounds really nice. Pear bread feels like one of those things that would be soft and a little sweet without being too heavy. I like the idea of using fruit like that instead of just relying on sugar. It probably makes it feel more fresh and homemade. Have you tried adding anything like cinnamon or nuts to it, or do you keep it simple?

      Sorghum, Kale and Roasted Cherry Tomato Salad

      By Harris · Posted

      That actually sounds really good, I wouldn’t have thought to mix sorghum with kale but it makes sense. The roasted cherry tomatoes probably bring a nice bit of sweetness to balance everything out. I’ve been trying to find more simple gluten-free meals that don’t feel boring, and this feels like something you could make ahead and just keep eating through the week. Did you add anything else to it, like nuts or cheese, or keep it pretty simple?
