Gluten Free Casein Free (GFCF) and Not Starving

I am a mom of a child with both autism and celiac disease. This blog will hopefully help guide others who are new to the GFCF diet. This blog is not meant as the "end all know all" - I am not a doctor or a scientist, I am simply a mom feeding my family. We do use oats which many celiacs avoid. In addition to gluten and casein, we avoid nitrates and artificial colors and flavors. I also try and limit High Fructose Corn Syrup. We follow the diet as a family - everything in our house is GFCF.

Rice Chex is now Gluten Free!

Hooray for General Mills for making another mainstream cereal gluten free.

From their website: Without changing the crunchy, oven-toasted flavor of Rice Chex, General Mills has replaced barley malt with molasses resulting in a Gluten Free Cereal. General Mills has taken the requisite steps to prevent cross contamination and has tested the formula based on the proposed FDA standards. Questions & comments are welcome at 1-800-328-1144.

Here is a link to their website with some gluten free recipes and more information.

This is fabulous news, isn't it. I do hope more cereals made by the larger manufacturer's do this as well.

Love the new gluten free Rice Chex! I don't think I've ever been so excited to buy a box of cereal before in my life.
