I haven't had any problems with the new Rice Chex....

Does the box of Rice Chex you got say gluten free on the front?? I have seen a lot of the older boxes next to the new ones recently. When they first came out with the new formula I didn't see any of the old box but recently I have.

Hope you feel better.

I just tried some yesterday, and I had no problems. It's a miracle!!!

I also got really bloated from the rice chex cereal (and it did say gluten free on the front). However, I seem to feel the same way by just eating plain brown rice. I also got really bloated from the rice based yogurt (Ricera). It's a bummer too, because it was really good - but I hate being bloated!

My daughter has been eating it without any problems. (And I like it to even though I don't have celiac) I'm hoping they come out with gluten-free Corn Chex.

I also get bloated from brown rice / rice bran. I wish I didn't because I really like the flavor, but . . . . .

I haven't tried the Rice Chex yet. Maybe I won't. :(

Just jumping in here - haven't been on for a very long time. RE cereals, I didn't know Rice Chex was ok to eat (for most of us). It would be great to have something new in my diet! Hope it works for me. I thought the only cereal I could ever eat was Trix. Trix has never bothered me and I've been eating it for about a year now. Also I used to be a big pancake eater. I've bought numerous kinds of mixes but they all still seem to bother my stomach somewhat. I'm honestly beginning to think it's the SYRUP! If I eat them without syrup, it seems to be ok (but wierd without it!). Any ideas on why syrup could be the culprit? Seems innocent enough. Thanks! If I get a reply for someone...I just may start checking in more often. :rolleyes: KarenDianne

Have been eating gluten-free rice chex every morning for several weeks now. On my third box. So far, so good.

Wrote an email to General Mills thanking them for reformulating rice chex to make them gluten-free. Never was a fav of mine before. Always liked the honey nut chex. But, gluten-free beggars can't be too choosy.

best regards, lm

KarenDianne-

I know pure maple syrup (the real stuff) is gluten-free. There are alot of syrups that are not. I can't remember why, maybe malt? I use the Eggo brand of syrup and do not have problems. I checked about a year ago and they were gluten-free.

We use the Maple Grove Farms syrup--says gluten-free on the bottle. It comes in maple flavor and butter flavor at the supermarket.

      @Bebygirl01, if you want to play word games with the term, "gluten", we can do that. The proteins you list in these other cereal grains besides wheat, barley and rye are somewhat different from that found in wheat, barley and rye and, technically speaking, are not "gluten". Technically speaking, "gluten" should only be applied to a particular protein found in wheat, barley and rye. These other cereal grain proteins have their own names (avenin, secalinin, zein, etc). Unfortunately, confusion has been created in popular and pseudo scientific literature by the informal use of the term "gluten" when talking about the proteins found in these other cereal grains such that you sometimes read about "corn gluten", "oat gluten", "rice gluten", etc. But these are actually misnomers, with "gluten" having been added on as an informal appendage to the actual protein names. Having said that, the protein structures of these other cereal grains is close enough to gluten that, for some people, they can cause a celiac type reaction. But this is not true for most celiacs and those who fall into the NCGS category. Apparently, it is true for you. This whole idea that cereal grains are bad for all of us has been popularized by books such as Dangerous Grains for years but it is not a widely accepted idea in the scientific community.

      On my Celiac journey and discovered I was also reacting to other types of gluten. The FDA in it's finite wisdom only classifies 'wheat, barley and rye' as the gluten's to be considered when a company tests for and stamps their products as gluten free. I am curious as to how many of you are aware of the other types of glutens? And another question to those on a 'traditional' gluten free diet , who are also still sick and struggling, are you also reacting to these other types of gluten as listed below? NOTE:  The new movement if you want to call it that, is now called 'grain free' and that is the true definition of gluten free. I no longer suffer with ataxia, confusion, anxiety, depression, OCD, Insomnia, ADD, acid reflux, dermatitis herpetiformis, migraines, headaches, and weight issues all due to going 'grain free'. I hope to reach as many of you out there that are still struggling and unaware of what might be setting you off such as my most recent glutening was from a vegan supplement that contained 'magnesium sterate' and 'glucose syrup' both of which are from Zien (zane) gluten at 55%. I was covered in sores that were bleeding, I was seeing squigly lines when I was trying to drive, had acid reflux, insomnia, and nightmares all from the gluten in Corn. Here are the other types of glutens that Celiacs and Gluten Intolerant people also react to: Wheat -Alpha Gliadin Gluten- 69% Rye - Secalinin gluten-30-50% Oats-Avenin gluten -16% Barley-Hordein Gluten -46-52% Millet-Panicin Gluten-40% Corn-Zien Gluten -55% Rice-Orzenin Gluten-5% Sorghum-Kafirin gluten-52% and Teff-Penniseiten Gluten 11%.

      I just want to mention again that IF thimerosal is used in a flu vaccine the amount of ethylmercury in a single vaccine dose would be extremely small, typically around 25 micrograms (µg) or less. For context, this is much lower than the levels of methylmercury found in some seafood. Ethylmercury is metabolized and excreted from the body much faster than methylmercury. Its half-life in the blood is about 7 days, compared to methylmercury, which can persist for months. The dose of ethylmercury in vaccines is far below the threshold known to cause toxicity so would not require chelation.

      If you have poor reactions to vaccines, preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals, you may be deficient in Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Thiamine is needed in the immune response and production of antibodies.  Thiamine can be depleted by vaccines if you are already low to begin with due to the Malabsorption of Celiac Disease.  Thiamine can be destroyed by sulfide preservatives in vaccines, which can result in the body's poor response to vaccines.  Thiamine also chelates metals which allows those metals to be removed in the feces.  Chelation removes thiamine from the body, resulting in a state of thiamine deficiency.  Sugar alcohols need to be processed through the liver using thiamine.  Again, if you're low in thiamine as many Celiac are because of the Malabsorption of celiac disease, vaccines can be a tipping point, resulting in a thiamine deficient state. High doses of Thiamine required to correct thiamine deficiency states are safe and nontoxic.  Thiamine has no toxicity level.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins need to be taken together because they interact together to sustain health.   References: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25542071/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/

      @Pasballard, Keep in mind those gluten free processed snacks are not required to have vitamins and minerals added to them to replace vitamins lost in processing like gluten containing products.   We need the eight essential B vitamins to turn those carbs into energy to fuel our bodies and make enzymes that sustain life.  Sudden weight gain (or weight loss) can be symptomatic of Thiamine Vitamin B1 deficiency.  Thiamine is the B vitamin with the shortest storage time, and so  thiamine deficiency shows up first with vague symptoms like weight gain or loss, fatigue, not sleeping well, achy or cramping muscles, digestive issues and headaches.   Taking vitamin and mineral supplements helps boost your body's ability to absorb these nutrients which keeps our bodies healthy.  B Complex vitamins and Vitamin D (which regulates inflammation) are usually low in people with Celiac disease.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing.
