Is There A Safe Rice Cerial Like Rice Krispies?

I'm pretty sure rice krispies are forbidden. But is there another safe brand that is ok?

If there is, rice krispie treats could return to the snack menu.

Erewon makes Crispy Rice that is a good substitute. Can be hard to find, but it's just as tasty.

Envirokidz are in lots of regular stores now, but you can find them for sure, in WholeFoods and the like. They have a flavor called, "koala Crunch" that is chocolate rice krispies. There are lots of good, cold, gluten free cereals in the health food stores. In a regular store, Post Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles are gluten free... shocker, I know! Enjoy.

Before I stopped having milk, I liked the plain puffed rice and corn cereals. Nothing on them either, except the milk. Anyway, I haven't looked into the gluten status of either of them, but they are supposed to be just the puffed rice/corn. Though the puffed rice isn't crispy, it might work...sorta...maybe you can toast them first? As they are it would be kinda gooy I guess. There are things you might add to get a crunch though.

I'd also suggest inventing some new treats. The puffed corn isn't as soft, and it seems like they would go well with marshmallow stuff on them. There's also amaranth cereal which has a similar texture to rice crispies. The ones I had where even a similar color, and from what I recall of the flavor, it would pass for a good alternative. It would taste great IMHO, though sugar is off limits to me anyway. Quinoa might work too from what I've read about it, though I have yet to try it. Puffed millet may work too. Toasted sesame seeds would have plenty of crunch, and I think they would taste even better than rice crispy treats, but that's just my opinion. I'd be inclined to try sesame for added crunch and flavor with any of the above mentioned alternatives.

I use Barbara's Brown Rice Crisps. According to their website they are gluten-free.

My family likes this alternative to Rice Crispy treats.

Crispy Clusters

1 C +3 Tbs. Almond Butter

1/2 C Honey

1/2 tsp Vanilla

1/2 tsp Cinnamon

Stir together well. I sometimes float the mixing bowl in a larger bowl of warm water to soften the honey and almond butter. When well mixed, stir in:

4 C Brown Rice Crisps

Stir cereal in with spoon at first and then by hand. Form into 1" balls or press into 8 x 8 greased pan. Chill before cutting and serving. I usually double this.

I have tried several different brands but without the barley malt (and some of them do not even have salt!), they have no flavor. If someone finds one with real flavor, let me know.

WalMart sells a puffed brown rice, no other ingredients for about 78 cents a bag. Same stuff (but organic) is $2. something at my health food store. I like it with frozen raspberries (nuked 30 seconds), stevia, and rice milk ($1.88 at WM) or almond milk!

Health Valley makes a cereal called Rice Crunch-Ums...they're not puffed, but more like Chex. They're REALLY good. The only other cereal type of thing I tried that's gluten-free are the snack bars by Envirokidz. It's a light bar of puffed rice that comes in different flavors and is somewhat similar to a rice krispies treat, though not as sticky.

In addition to the plain one I just found the same one but with fruits added. A change is as good as a rest! I haven't tried it yet.

I've noticed that my Wal-Mart still has some of the old Malt-o-Meal Cocoa Dyno-bites (chocolate rice krispies). They added wheat this summer to their ingredients, but take a peek when you're at the store and see if you can still find some. Cheaper than Cocoa Pebbles and the same thing. The old bags are a darker brown. Check ingredients, not just lists-the Corn Bursts are on a mainstream list, but they added wheat to their ingredients recently. I found out one cereal bowl too late!

well, I think it's up to us to constantly bombard these companies with phone calls letters and e-mails and keep after them about the need for gluten free products and that gluten is an unneccessary additive and when companies use it, it shows me that they are CHEAP and using it as a filler! (I've actually told a few customer service reps this!) We need to show these companies that we are a significant portion of their potential MARKET and therefore it would behoove them to appease us! LOL!

      Airborne Gluten?

      Hello everyone, I was on here a few months ago trying to figure out if I was reacting to something other than gluten, to which a very helpful response was that it could be xanthin or guar gum. Since then, I have eaten items with both of those ingredients in it and I have not reacted to it, so my mystery reaction to the Digiorno pizza remains...

      Hello, @MogwaiStripe, Vitamin D is turned into its activated forms by Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency can affect Vitamin D activation. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14913223/ Thiamine deficiency affects HLA genes.  HLA genes code for autoimmune diseases like Celiac, Thyroiditis, Diabetes, etc.  Thiamine deficiency inside a cell triggers a toggle switch on the gene which in turn activates autoimmune diseases carried on the gene.  The reference to the study is in my blog somewhere.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll down to the drop down menu "Activities" and click on blogs.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!

      I’m wondering if anyone has had any experience with the gluten challenge. My teenager completed a gluten challenge over the summer, it ended up being 10 weeks although she stopped being consistent eating gluten after 6. Her previous endoscopy was negative but this past August it was positive after the gluten challenge. If you have done the gluten challenge, how long did it take you to feel back to normal? It took about two months before she got “glutened” again but now she’s having difficult coming back from that and has a lot of fatigue. I’m hoping someone has some advice!

      Airborne Gluten?

      By annamarie6655 · Posted

      Hello everyone, I was on here a few months ago trying to figure out if I was reacting to something other than gluten, to which a very helpful response was that it could be xanthin or guar gum.    Since then, I have eaten items with both of those ingredients in it and I have not reacted to it, so my mystery reaction to the Digiorno pizza remains.    HOWEVER, I realized something recently- the last time I got glutened and the most recent time I got glutened, I truly never ate anything with gluten in it. But i did breathe it in.    The first time was a feed barrel for my uncle’s chickens- all of the dust came right up, and most of what was in there was wheat/grains. The second time was after opening a pet food bag and accidentally getting a huge whiff of it.    When this happens, I tend to have more neurological symptoms- specifically involuntary muscle spasms/jerks everywhere. It also seems to cause migraines and anxiety as well. Sometimes, with more airborne exposure, I get GI symptoms, but not every time.    My doctor says he’s never heard of it being an airborne problem, but also said he isn’t well versed in celiac specifics. I don’t have the money for a personal dietician, so I’m doing the best I can.    is there anyone else who has experienced this, or gets similar neurological symptoms?
