Has anyone else noticed that some varieties of Chex cereal are labeled gluten free??? This is the first I'm seeing of it, but then again, I went to a much bigger grocery store today than the one I usually visit.

Has anyone reacted to these anyway? Anybody try them and like them? Thanks!

I like to eat the cinnamon Rice Chex out of the box as a snack. :)

My son eats them and likes them, but for some reason the honey ones made his belly hurt a little bit. I had him try them again and the same thing happened. Other ones have been fine though.

I love them! the cinnamon is my favorite as cereal (with milk- if you eat dairy). I like the cinnamon, plain, or chocolate dry (for a snack to keep with me if i'm not near "safe" gluten-free food).

I have made up a delicious munchy mixture. I take 1/2 cup rice chex and 1/2 cup of corn chex and mix them in a soup bowl. I spray on some butter flavor Pam and quickly sprinkle with salt and a little sugar. Mix them up again and spray and sprinkle one more time. They are a great substitution for sweet and salty snacks and only about 115 calories. I don't use much salt or sugar... just to give them a taste. I am addicted to them. There are $1.00 chex coupons out this week too! :D

I've met a few people who've said the same thing. The other flavors of Chex were fine for them, but the Honey Nut ones gave them gastro issues for some reason.

      Aveeno products

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I use Aveeno Moisturizing Body Lotion with prebiotic oat, unscented. I really only use it on my hands and not every day. Haven't noticed it any problems. I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Having a RAVENOUS appetite (or conversely no appetite at all - anorexia) and unintended weight loss are symptoms of early thiamine deficiency.   People who are physically active, athletes, physical laborers, those who exercise outside regularly have a higher metabolic need for thiamine.  Exercising outside regularly can cause more thiamine loss because sunlight breaks down thiamine.  (This is why people with heat stroke are administered thiamine.)  More thiamine is lost through the kidneys in those who exercise regularly.  Because blood tests for thiamine deficiency is so inaccurate, the World Health Organization suggests, if thiamine deficiency is suspected, give thiamine and look for health improvement.   Do not take Thiamine Mononitrate as this form is not well absorbed nor utilized in the body.  It is frequently found in foods, and multivitamins and B1 supplements because it will not break down with exposure to light while sitting on a shelf at the store.  Thiamine Mononitrate is shelf stable - it won't break down with light exposure - and this makes it not bioavailable.  The body only absorbs about 30% and utilizes less than that because it's so hard to break down.   Benfotiamine and the form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide) and thiamine hydrochloride are wonderful forms to take.   I'm familiar with these symptoms because I dropped sixty pounds in a month because I had developed thiamine deficiency.  I ate well, exercised, and took a multivitamin (with thiamine Mononitrate), but the metabolic needs of my body demanded more.  The years of poor absorption due to undiagnosed Celiac disease had depleted my stores of thiamine.  My doctors did not recognize thiamine deficiency symptoms, even when they progressed to Wernicke's Encephalopathy.  They said I was making things up and sent me home. With nothing else to lose (I could feel myself dying), I took high dose thiamine hydrochloride as the WHO suggested and had improvement within the hour.   I also tried Benfotiamine and TTFD in the months that followed and had even more significant health improvement. Please don't wait until your brain starts malfunctioning or other organs start failing.  Please take thiamine soon.  It's nontoxic and safe even in high doses.  Thiamine works with other B vitamins, especially Riboflavin and Pyridoxine, so supplementing with a B Complex is essential as well.  Magnesium is needed as well to make life sustaining enzymes. There's no harm, no foul in trying Thiamine.  If for no other reason than to prove it is not thiamine deficiency.   P. S.  Thiamine is needed to turn on Vitamin D, turning it into its active form.  Otherwise  Vitamin D can't be utilized and just builds up in the system.

      Oh and yes, thanks, other than being permanently RAVENOUS and not yet putting on weight, I am feeling pretty good. I jog, do yoga, today cycled 12km to a food market then to another place to get my fish, then my gluten-free bread... My life is All about food!;( But I shld prob. be less active as obv is keeping the pounds off... And having some muscle makes me feel less depressed with my skeletal appearance.
