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.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
