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!

      PS... I help care for someone in their 90s, albeit part time, but have just been in hospital for a while with him and it has reminded me, even for someone in better physical shape, which I am now, thankfully, it can be very tough on one's health/sleep/mood.  I think what I am trying to say is you are going through a lot all at once, it is not surprising that you are not feeling 100 per cent. Even if we love our relative to bits, and they love us, they often can't understand that we too have lives, and need to keep our houses, families and jobs in running order. Something has to give, but it's often the carer!  When a loved one is resistant to change, it makes things even more exhausting.  Often it has taken a crisis for me to be able to introduce the help that has actually been needed for so long.  It sounds as if you are doing an amazing job but can you get any support from any carers associations or other groups where you live, which might help?

      hmm you got me curious as I have suspected that certain foods with sugar may be an issue for me so I googled this and came up with this: " Key Compounds Causing Reactions in Gluten-Free Foods: Fructans: Often found in foods that are gluten-free but high in fiber (e.g., inulin, chicory root), acting as a trigger for digestive issues similar to gluten. Fructose (Fructose Malabsorption): A sugar found in fruits, honey, and high-fructose corn syrup. Some individuals cannot properly absorb this sugar, leading to fermentation in the gut. Sugar Alcohols (Polyols): Examples include mannitol, sorbitol, and xylitol, commonly added to gluten-free, sugar-free products to maintain sweetness. Lactose: A disaccharide found in dairy that frequently causes issues in individuals with damaged gut linings, a common occurrence in celiac disease.  These reactions are often classified as dietary intolerances (such as fructan intolerance or fructose malabsorption) rather than allergies. They are commonly found in packaged "gluten-free" products like bars, cereals, and processed snacks. " hope this helps.

      Hi @EvieJean I was delighted to read @hjayne19's comments about A LIfe at Last as the book definitely helped me to understand how anxiety works.   You may be suffering from vitamin and mineral deficiencies which will can contribute to and even cause anxiety. Have you had any tests done?  If you have and 'normal' results , do take a second look at the levels.  Low normal, for instance, in iron and B12, may still be causing you anxiety, so you may need to consider supplementation.  (If you do this, best talk to your GP, particularly regarding iron, as it needs regular monitoring. - too much in the blood can be dangerous) When I was first diagnosed, my GP was happy when my ferritin levels were c. 11 n/gL (just on the cusp of our local normal lab readings) whereas a consultant I saw some months later for continuing mouth issues said, 'Far too low! and told me my levels should at least be at 40.   Another example is B12 -  in some countries a reading of 500 is considered the start of normal levels, in the UK normal range starts at 180 n/gL.  I feel much better when my B12 is at a higher level. If you are feeling depressed and generally stressed I'd also consider reading Dr Steve Llardi's book The Depression Cure which aims to address these issues with   physical exercise,  omega-3 fatty acids, natural sunlight exposure,  restorative sleep and social connectedness.  I have given this book to many people who found it helpful, and a relative of mine who is a doctor thinks it is fantastic.   The run up to my diagnosis and for some time afterwards I had terrible brain fog, insomnia and intrusive thoughts.  In time, with the supplementation, and also the above books, I did feel so much better.  I really hope that you can find some help with the above, and remember, try to keep your diet as gluten free as you can.  Also, please come back to us if you have any further questions.
