Love those Rice Krispy treats, the ones in a box at the store....you know, in the blue box.

So yesterday I went to the grocery and got one box of gluten-free pasta, a pack of cookies, and one other gluten-free thing I can't remember. That was $18.00.

The cookies were $6.00, man they REALLY good, though....They are Glutino (my favorite gluten-free company) vanilla sandwich creme cookies, but you only get a couple of them, ok, more than a couple. So I thought, why not get those Rice Krispy treats, they are cheaper and no gluten. Has anyone tried those? I've never been a big sweet eater, but lately, I want a sweet in the afternoon. But I tolerate those Rice Krispy treats just fine...I had some at work and forgot about them...at least I THINK I'm tolerating them just fine. So far, so good.

And my poor ol' mom, she called me today at work and mentioned that she had to go to the grocery to get the stuff to make my birthday cake that she makes every year :( I was like,'uhh, mommmmm," she says "Oh! that's right, you can't have the cake anymore" It broke my heart for her, she is just so excited about my birthday and making my traditional cake... what a sweetie my momma is. She offered to make it with gluten-free flour, but I'm not about to put her through all that, so I said, "you know, I love me some watermelon!" She's going to make a fruit salad, I bet.

I don't know why I'm posting all this, I think I'm craving sweets LOL :P

Oh NO! Connie, I could be wrong, but I don't think Kellogg's Rice Krispy Treats are gluten free. Don't they have malt in them? Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

The good new is there are really good cake mixes out there. Look for Pamela's brand cake mixes in stores--so easy and so good! And actually Betty Crocker has some gluten-free cake mixes, I have not tried them, but I heard good things about them. :P

CONNIE!!!

A birthday cake is not an issue! We have Betty Crocker now...thank goodness. Try the chocolate cake mix, with Pillsbury Choc. Frosting.. but always read the labels.

Connie, Rice crispy treats are SO doable. You can use regular marshmallows and Erwhon Rice Twice or Envirokids Koala Crisp(choco flavor) cereal and butter according to regular "Rice Kripy Treat" recipe. This General Mills Chex Cereal recipe is good too!

Birthday cake is SO doable too. We've used Pamelas' white cake mix two years in a row, both successful, one with homemade chocolate frosting and one as an ice cream cake.

Yes, I'm sad to say, those krispie treats contain gluten. But Pamela's does make great cake mixes! Gluten Free Pantry is great too!

Rice Crispy treats are not gluten free. Glenny's makes some similar things that are gluten free. They come in chocolte or regular. But... They seem to be cross contaminated with peanuts. Daughter had a bad reaction every time she ate them.

Rice Krispy Treats are absolutely NOT gluten-free, so be careful. Sometimes you may not react, but damage is still being done to your guts. There are so many yummy cakes - that taste just like real cake. Cherrybrook kitchen (Open Original Shared Link) is a good example. It bakes, looks, tastes just like real cake. How about Betty Crocker: Open Original Shared Link - you can probably buy those right in the regular stor. Don't ake away your mom's good time - just find an alternative:) Happy birthday!!!

Yep- Rice Krispies have barley malt in them. I don't know why they need it, but there it is.

I didn't have cake on my birthday either. I had my mom buy vanilla ice cream and hot fudge for sundaes since I'm way excited to be able to eat dairy again without being sick. :)

envirokidz makes a gluten-free rice crispy treat. i think they're about $4 a box. they have a couple of different flavors...although i find the peanut butter flavor to be a little over powering.

I love the Glutino cookies! I found some that taste just like Oreos. :) The Betty Crocker gluten free mixes are great and you get a little more for your money. Get your mom to bake your cake from one of those. I love the Devil's Food.

Rice Krispies do have barley malt in them. You're lucky since without being celiac it's really down to what you tolerate, not avoiding every shred of gluten. Just keep an eye out in case you get more sensitive down the road. I used to be able to eat a little barley malt but now I'm afraid to try it. Same thing is happening to Mom. She isn't celiac but went off gluten because it was making her sick and now she's realizing she reacts a little to even small amounts of it. I mostly eat ice cream and chocolate nowadays. ;)

Skittles. I was looking for a sweet treat just after I realized my intolerance, and I discovered the wonderfulness of Skittles. (Starburst, too, but I like Skittles better) It says "Gluten Free" on the label, though I don't know the risk for CC.

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
