Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Gluten-Free has joined forces with Tricia Thompson, M.S., R.D., for Celiac Awareness month to debunk some of the gluten-free myths you may have heard. The gluten-free diet has been in the news a lot recently, so it is important to make sure that the information we are hearing is correct. Read on:
BATTLE CREEK, Mich., May 14, 2012 –Today, while “gluten-free” has become a household term, there are still countless myths that make it tricky for moms and their families to navigate a gluten-free lifestyle. This May, National Celiac Awareness month, Kellogg’s® Rice Krispies® Gluten Free cereal asked dietitian Tricia Thompson, M.S., R.D., to bust these myths to help moms make gluten-free meal choices easier.
Three Popular Gluten-Free Myths
With much uncertainty surrounding the gluten topic, Thompson’s myth-busting tips help moms feel assured that they’re making good choices for their kids:
· Myth One: You always have to pay more for gluten-free products.
Gluten-free doesn’t have to mean more expensive or a trip to a specialty store. For example, a box of Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Gluten Free cereal costs the same amount as Kellogg’s Rice Krispies and is sold alongside the original blue box.
· Myth Two: All gluten-free snacks for kids require extra attention from mom and dad.
Not all snacks require a lot of time and preparation. With many favorite products now available in gluten-free varieties, it’s easy to whip up a quick gluten-free snack that the whole family will love, like Rice Krispies Gluten-Free Treats™.
· Myth Three: Food that’s labeled “gluten-free” is healthy.
Not all gluten-free products qualify as healthy. When grocery shopping, look for gluten-free cereals, breads, and pastas that are made with gluten-free whole grains or have been fortified or enriched as they are good sources of iron and B vitamins, which may be lacking in gluten-free diets.
“There are ways to eat a gluten-free diet without sacrificing several nutrients, including fiber, iron, folate and niacin,” said Thompson. “For example, a breakfast that includes a whole grain- or vitamin and mineral-fortified cereal, like Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Gluten Free, served with sliced bananas and milk is a quick, healthy and delicious way for kids to start the day.”

Rice Krispies Treats are our favorites…
gluten free rice krispie treats brings back the old snap crackle pop of my school days
Rice Krispie treats, of course. I bought a box of the GF RKs when they first came out, made a pan, and ate the whole thing in one night, after sharing a little with my boyfriend. It had been so long, I just couldn’t help myself!
I like them with milk and splenda. I LOVE them in Rice krispie treats.
GF since 2000, not having Rice Krispies available to me for such a long time and now having them back has actually spurred me on to try them in other ways that need a crunch that holds up like breading for chicken and toppings for casseroles. Thank you Kellogg's for answering this NEED! M
