 simple & delicious |
| Review Date: December 17, 2006 |

| My favorite things are often the most simple: A healthy alternative to Kellog's Rice Krispies - with the benefits of organic ingredients, rice syrup instead of cane sugar, and an incredible company behind it all to boot - and this tastes even better! Also, rice syrup won't give you the 'spike' and 'crash' of conventional sugar, and in fact supplies a steady stream of energy. |
Not Gluten Free.

| Reviewer: Lisa M. Mims, Austin, TX United States |
I've been gluten free for ten years. I'm o.k. enough that I can slip up a little and only get a little sick: what that means is that if something isn't entirely gluten free, it will make me sick for hours, not days. That's made me tolerant of food that isn't entirely gluten free--I'll eat the not-entirely-gluten-free food for a couple of days, and then start having a reaction, not realizing that is what is happening.
This is only sort of gluten free. You might be able to eat it a few times with only a little bit of distress, but then it will get worse. If you are a celiac on a long-standing gluten free diet, you will slowly get sicker again.
And, your risk of getting colon cancer later in life will go up dramatically, which is apparently what happens to celiacs who eat little bits of gluten throughout their lives. Just because it's not really making you sick, doesn't mean it's not doing damage.
Avoid this, and don't feed it to celiac kids.
Edit: On the gluten-free listservs there are discussions of people getting sick from this. Erewhon has confirmed that they run oat cereals on some of the lines, so if you are a celiac who can't tolerate oats (which I am) this is bad stuff.
Also, they make this in a facility that processes wheat, so it may be legally gluten free (20 ppm or less), but not actually gluten-free. Mixed facilities can have 10 ppm wheat in the air alone.

NOT GLUTEN FREE!

| This is a great tasting cereal, but it is NOT gluten free. It took me months to figure how my family kept getting gluten because I trusted the "family" owned Erewhon brand. Guess what? They are no longer family owned. The corporation who makes Skinner Raisin Brand owns them and processes raisin bran in the same plant as the supposedly gluten free Crispy Brown Rice cereal. If avoiding gluten is important to your family's health, then avoid this cereal. It is definitely cross contaminated with gluten. |
Definitely a "health food" cereal

| This cereal has a healthy, nutty flavor very similar to that of puffed rice, but with more crisp. It is very low in calories, and it's true what the other reviewer mentioned about the low glycemic impact. It is not a sweet cereal by any means. I eat it with vanilla soymilk, and that makes it tasty enough for me. I personally I would not spring it on a child who is new to a gluten-free diet, because they'll likely turn their nose up at it if served as is. I agree with the other reviewer and would recommend the Envirokids line of cereals for GF kids (caution - a couple of them are *not* GF!). |
great!
