Hey - I noticed that some people like myself cannot tolerate high fructose corn syrup and unfortunately its in rice crispies - I kept getting sick after eating rice crispy treats and then found out what it may have been from here on the boards. Anyways tonight I made them with rice chex and they turned out really good and they do not have HFCS so hopefully my problem is solved!

I dont really know what the difference is but marshmallows have corn syrup not High fructose corn syrup. I dont know what that means but I was thinking that the fructose was the bad thing.....anyone know??

Can you provide the recipe? Did you use soy margarine? How did you make those safe for IBS?
Rice Chex are the best!
Thanks - Melis

Here's the recipe .
And it is the frutose part that is the problem not corn syrup.

I dont really use a recipe - however I go off of Heathers recipe for Rice Crispy treats. I usually half it though so I use: 1 Tsp of canola oil half bag of mini-marshmallows and then I just dump the rice chex in without measuring them until they get to how I like them! The only differnce from her recipe is to use rice chex and I do this because they dont have High fructose corn syrup and rice crispies do (All the ones I can find at my store anyways) Anyways someone posted Heathers recipe so take a look!

Hi Allie, I'm like you, and was wondering what in the world is in marshmallows that I can't tolerate. I don't even know if they have HFCS..anyone know? Maybe it's because it's all corn syrup and not mostly sugar, and light corn syrup is part fructose so maybe that's what bothers some of us who are super sensitive. I have some health food crisp rice (same as rice crispys) staring me in the face that I want to make into something.
My thought here was to make a simple syrup........sugar and water and bring to What? a soft ball stage?, then mix in with the crisp rice.
Since you and Kree and some others are cooking more than me I thought maybe someone had tried this.....(hoping).

Thanks Shell for posting this,
Hmmm, I'm just going to have to try those things again and see if I can get away with it. It must be the tetrasodium pyrophosphate!!!! That must be it alright......lol. Oh who knows with this nutso condition, one day you can eat something the next day you can't. Go figure!
