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!

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
