Kellog's Rice Crispies?

Does anyone know if Kellog's Rice Crispy treats are safe to eat? I looked at the ingredients and it did not look like there was any wheat in it but it didn't state it was gluten free either. For that matter is rice or even marshmallows gluten-free???

What are the ingredients? They used to have malt in them which would make them unsafe for us as it comes from barley.

They do make a gluten free variety of Rice Crispies that are safe for us. I use those to make my own treats so I haven't looked at the ready made ones.

Plain rice is gluten free and many marshmellows are also.

The original Rice Crispies have Barley Malt. So did the ready made Rice Crispy treats last time I looked. Those are definitely not safe. Barley is a gluten grain.

There is a New Rice Crispies that is Gluten Free and it is made with brown rice. I think you have to make your own treats. Open Original Shared Link

Nope, premade ones have malt . . . so those are a no-go.

I don't like to make a big batch of Rice Krispie treats because I end up eating most of them. You can just make a cup at a time . . . microwave cup, a little butter and a handful of marshmallows (kraft brand is good) a few seconds on the microwave to melt, stir till smooth, add (gluten-free)Rice Krispies and stir again. You can even eat them straight out of the cup . . . :huh: . . . not that I've ever done that.

Don't judge me :ph34r:

Pre made are out (sorry!). As far as making them on your own, in my store they sell both regular (with malt) and gluten free so you have to be careful. I don't really care for the gluten-free rice krispies so I trade them for fruity pebbles which are gluten-free :)

The marshmallows should be safe--I haven't found one that isn't.

I was just making some fruity pebbles treats of my own and low and behold the back of the box advertised for gluten free premade fruity and coco pebble treats! Prefect timing so I had to share :)

I do this too! Sometimes I make them in the morning to send in my son's lunchbox. I'm with you ... if I make a big batch I wind up eating way too many.

Our grocery store doesn't sell the gluten-free Rice Krispies -- I bought some natural-foods brand "crispy brown rice puffs" at Whole Foods and was going to try making treats with them, but I don't have high hopes. I might wind up making Fruity Pebble treats too!

      Thanks for your reply. She has been given a date for her endoscopy, 28th of this month, so hopefully she’ll know for sure if she definitely has coeliac. Needless to say she’s dreading it!!!!

      That is more than 10x the standard range, so a strong positive. In the UK for children and adults under the age of 55, at least 10x the standard range is sufficient to be diagnosed without having an endoscopy. The NICE guidelines are are different for children in that a referral to a gastroenterologist is also recommended for diagnosis. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/how-to-test/ https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/diagnosis-in-children/

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome, @annamarie6655, I followed the AIP diet, too.  It allows the intestines time to heal.  I still avoid a lot of processed foods.  Once you get used to eating whole foods, they taste better than processed foods. I couldn't eat pepperoni without becoming ill.  Pepperoni is a processed meat that uses "meat glue" to hold its shape.  "Meat glue" is microbial transglutaminase produced by microbes in a lab.  Transglutaminase produced by microbes works the same in our bodies as tissue transglutaminase, which causes inflammation.  Remember those antibody blood tests, tTg IgA and tTg IgG?  They test for tissue transglutaminase produced by the body in response to gluten.  The microbial transglutaminase provokes the same response in our bodies as if exposed to gluten.  Best to avoid processed meat products like formed chicken nuggets, luncheon meats, formed hams, sausage, etc.   Best wishes.

      How to work through food paranoia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the tribe! Do discuss the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne) with your dietician.  The AIP diet helps while the intestines are healing, lowering potential to develop other food sensitivities.  Be sure to discuss supplementing with vitamins and minerals.  Damaged intestines don't absorb essential nutrients well.  Supplementing while healing boosts absorption and provides vitamins needed for repair.
