Chex - Gluten Free


WestCoastGirl

Recommended Posts

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 eat them every day and have no problem. The Honey Nut ones are amazing!

I use them all the time. Chexpartymix.com has loads of gluten free recipes, too!

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.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.
