Rice Chex is Gluten-Free
Was out with Catherine of AGluten-FreeGuide.com last night at Otto Enoteca.
She's just crazy for crazy for their “Escarole & Sunchoke” salad (it has almonds so I can’t indulge). I had the gluten-free pasta (they use Tinkyada) with a meat sauce that is not on the menu (yeah, that’s how I roll--at least in my dreams. This is one of the few places where I can order at least one dish off-menu and I do every chance I get!)
During the course of conversation, Catherine told me the most interesting news she had heard on the celiac forum boards. Rice Chex is going gluten-free; General mills has taken the plunge. Here a picture of the new Rice Chex box.
Which mainstream company will be next? Bigger question, which mainstream company will put out a gluten-free, organic product without added vitamins (makes me shudder to think what they took and how they took it out in order to replace it but that’s a different post).
Regardless, Gluten-free Rice Chex eaters, rejoice!

soy corn and wheat are really everywhere. have you found cereal that works for you? like amaranth? or GF oatmeal?
As far as the others, I'm entertaining the GF oatmeal. I'm pretty new to this (I was dx'd a couple of months ago) and I'm wary of oats in any form.
the celiac boards will have more.
i make hot rice cereal in the morning or hot quinoa either with maple syrup, some lactaid milk or rice milk, and cinnamon. very yum. and GF.
Thanks for providing a great resource for those of us navigating the turbulent allergy water. I'm apparently allergic to just about everything and it's been a challenge. However the good news is that since cleaning up my diet, I'm off all stomach meds and feel a whale of a lot better.

cold, just tried erewhon's crispy brown rice cereal - from box I thought they would be rice-puff ish but I forgot the picture is "larger than life size" - they're actually very similar to rice crispies, quite tasty (and not too much sugar, all the gluten free corn flakes seem to be pretty sweet)
