Desperatey searching for cereal free of......

[rhesp1212]

dairy, gluten, corn, brown rice, millet, and oats. Is there such a thing??? DS can have white rice, but not brown rice. I'm desperately searching for a crunchy cereal or puffed cereal for him to eat as he LOVES eating cold cereal with milk. It seems as though everything is made with brown rice or corn now!

Anyone have any suggestions??

I don't remember the name because I bought it so long ago, but we had a buckwheat flake cereal a while back--it looked somewhat similar to cornflakes.  It was a bit sweetened and I'm not sure what the sweetener was made of though.  Sorry I don't remember the actual brand.

I just looked those up, because I eat them... they have brown rice in them.

Can I ask why white rice, but no brown rice?

Apparently he can't tolerate the rice bran, which is found on brown rice but not on white rice supposedly. I have some of those buckwheat flakes and  yep, they're made with brown rice. :(

We also have some of that cream of buckwheat cereal and he really likes it, but I'm looking for cold cereal options....dried flakes or puffs of some sort that he can have cold cereal with or for a snack on the run!

Oops....forgot to add that Quinoa is also out for him. :(

I would look for some type of nut/seed granola if he can have those.  They're usually made by small companies who focus on raw foods.  It sounds like grains are problematic anyway so you might as well steer clear of them.

This one might work for him? http://www.enjoylifefoods.com/our_foods/cereals/crunchy_flax.html Their other Perky's is the only cereal out there safe for my son.

You might want to think of things you can make that are portable and satisfy the need for an on the run snack as well or instead if the one above won't work. Any grain makes a cracker easily. My son really likes teff crackers. You could experiment with baking buckwheat grouts (or similar tolerated item) spread out on a cookie sheet like granola. I can't see why it wouldn't work though I haven't tried buckwheat specifically for that. I do mine with ghee but it sounds like butter would be safe for your son. Could be yummy if it works!

If you've got that many allergies I'd be terrified of nuts (says the mom with the nut and sesame seed anaphylactic child). Nut allergies make gluten free problematic.

Oooo, thanks for the link. That cereal might actually work for him. We are trialing sorghum right now, and it's questionable, but I would definitely be interested in trying that!! Thanks so much!! I did find online how to make your own homemade rice krispy cereal from any type of rice. I'm going to try it tomorrow....it's a bit of a pain, but it would give me some flexibility for him on breakfasts and snacks.

Can you give me the link for the homemade crispy cereal? I have some things I'd like to possibly experiment with...

I tried it....and IT WORKS!!! My DS LOVES them.....I dried mine in the food dehydrator rather than in the oven. I did it with the sushi rice, but I think you could use any kind of rice really.
