Gluten Free Cereals for a Gluten Free Breakfast

Below are lists of gluten free cereals available from both mainstream grocery stores and brands, and those specifically made for the gluten free diet.

Just recently General Mills has changed their formula for the chex cereals to exclude barley malt. They have substituted molasses to keep the flavor very close to the original.

New varieties have recently hit the grocery store shelves and are now available at Walmart and most grocery chains. You will need to read the box to be sure it is the new gluten free formulation. If you have other food intolerances, check the label to see if they are in the particular flavor you wish to buy. At the time of this writing, there are these flavors available from:

General Mills

Rice Chex

Corn Chex

Cinnamon Chex

Chocolate Chex

Strawberry Chex

Honey Nut Chex

In addition to these mainstream varieties, there are also some brands made specifically for the gluten free diet. These can be found at Whole Foods, Wild Oats, Sprout's and some health food stores. Some grocery stores with gluten free sections will also carry some of them.

Be sure to read the ingredients if you have other food intolerances. Gluten free oats are used in all oat products listed here as gluten free.

I recommend the Bob's Red Mill rice farina, I use it myself. I've also enjoyed many of the Nature's Path gluten free cereals.

Please note that it is recommended to wait until you have been gluten free for one year before including oats in the diet.
