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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
