Gluten Free Breakfast Cereals : Dr. Gourmet Reviews

When we set out to review gluten free foods the initial items were pretty disappointing. I almost gave up, feeling that it must be a real challenge for folks with celiac disease. Our initial tasting of pastas didn’t go well, and gluten free breads have been tough going. With persistence I have been able to find some pastas that are pretty good and reported on them recently.

Forging forward, I picked up a group of breakfast cereals for the tasting panel. The easiest one to find are Chex cereals. With the exception of their Wheat and Multigrain versions, Chex are gluten free. You know these guys because of Chex Mix recipes (what my mom used to call Texas Trash when I was growing up). That they are easily available is a good thing, but the main issue is they have only a gram of fiber in Corn Chex and the flavored versions. Rice Chex, however, is listed as 0 fiber (that’s right: zero). Since getting a good portion of fiber at breakfast is important, these might not be your best choice. Gluten Free Breakfast Cereals
