BATTLE CREEK, Mich., May 14, 2012 \u2013Today, while \u201cgluten-free\u201d 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\u2019s\u00ae<\/i> Rice Krispies\u00ae <\/i>Gluten Free cereal asked dietitian Tricia Thompson, M.S., R.D., to bust these myths to help moms make gluten-free meal choices easier.<\/p>\n

Three Popular Gluten-Free Myths<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

With much uncertainty surrounding the gluten topic, Thompson\u2019s myth-busting tips help moms feel assured that they\u2019re making good choices for their kids: <\/p>\n

\u00b7 Myth One: You always have to pay more for gluten-free products. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Gluten-free doesn\u2019t have to mean more expensive or a trip to a specialty store. For example, a box of Kellogg’s<\/i> Rice<\/i> Krispies<\/i> Gluten Free cereal costs the same amount as Kellogg’s<\/i> Rice<\/i> Krispies<\/i> and is sold alongside the original blue box.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Myth Two: All gluten-free snacks for kids require extra attention from mom and dad.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not all snacks require a lot of time and preparation. With many favorite products now available in gluten-free varieties, it\u2019s easy to whip up a quick gluten-free snack that the whole family will love, like Rice Krispies Gluten-Free Treats\u2122.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u00b7 Myth Three: Food that\u2019s labeled \u201cgluten-free\u201d is healthy.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are ways to eat a gluten-free diet without sacrificing several nutrients, including fiber, iron, folate and niacin,\u201d said Thompson. \u201cFor example, a breakfast that includes a whole grain- or vitamin and mineral-fortified cereal, like Kellogg\u2019s<\/i> Rice Krispies <\/i>Gluten Free, served with sliced bananas and milk is a quick, healthy and delicious way for kids to start the day.\u201d<\/p>\n
