Grits

[skinnyminny]

I have been eating Grits made by quaker fruquently and thanks to this board realized they are really bad about cross contaminating, does anyone have an alternative, I am low in iron and they had a good source of nutrition plus I loved them! if anyone has any suggestions please let me know!

I ate a lot of grits when I started gluten-free diet 11 months ago. The brand I had was Quaker Quick Grits. I did not have a problem then and as matter of fact I had some this morning for the first time in a couple of months. Once again everything seems ok. I don't know if I'm not very sensitive but I definitely have celiac disease. I would say they were fine.

My daughter and I have been eating arrow head mills grits with no problems. They say gluten-free on the box. They are pretty good too!

Stoned ground grits are truely the best in the world.

Thanks I have also been eating Quaker grits someone said there is a cross contamination issue, and that they have become very sick.. I have not had trouble yet either. where do you get the Arrow head mills?

What brand stone ground grits?

I eat quaker grits and the wal-mart brand without any problems. I didn't realize there was a cross-contamination issue with Quaker.

I don't trust Quaker products in the US. They have stated on multuple occasions that there is a cross contamination risk with everything they make and that nothing is made on dedicated lines. Thats enough for me to steer clear. I buy arrowhead Mills, which I get at Whole Foods. Its not instant, but as a breakfast its not that hard to make.

What exactly are grits made from? I miss them - grew up with them in Florida.

[jerseyangel]

Grits are made of corn.

[elonwy]

Grits is basically ground up corn thats not small enough to be corn meal. I used to like the white grits, the ones served in restaurants, but I've discovered Arrowhead mills Yellow grits and I like it much better. The yellow ones use the whole corn kernel, so have more nutritional value too.

Rats - can't have corn. That is the reason I have been afraid to try (and I'm the only one in my current family that likes them).
