dont u ever think once you find something you really love and is safe, they have to find some way to ruin it?

WELL...rice chex was THE ONE AND ONLY cereal i could eat, i have tried all the "safe cereals" (rice crispies, cheerios, honeycombs, etc.) and becuz i am so allergic to HFCS and any kind of corn, i was limited to rice chex. AND WOULDNT YOU KNOW IT, they added whole grains...INSOLUABLE FIBER.

A few months ago i was eating rice chex and felt sick EVERYTIME and i thought i was going through a spat of attacks, then i read the label and said "what a minute, since when does rice chex contain brown rice??".

i really was beyond devestated because rice chex was MY MAIN STAPLE when i could eat nothing. FORTUNATELY, some stores havnt updated their inventory yet, so on the rare chance, i still find the old boxes.

In search of an equivalent, i discovered name brand rice chex. i shop at stop and shop and bought a generic shop and stop brand rice squares cereal and it has the SAME EXACT ingredients as the old rice chex. Up at school, we have price chopper, and their generic rice squares brand has the same ingredients, as do albertons in florida (i found out over spring break visiting my grandparents.)

WITH ALL THAT SAID, if you (or others) are very sensitive to whole grains, i suggest searching your local supermarket for the generic brand of rice chex, not all stores are the same (some add HFCS) but most i have found are safe.

hope this helps!!
