Anyhow, I did not have to rage with extreme jealousy because I have found a gluten free breakfast cereal that I love! With a little rice milk*, it is stupendous and even stays crunchy til the last bite! The best part you ask? It is a subtle version of that good ol' gluten filled standby called Cap'n Crunch! No really, I kid you not (woh woh)!
Yeah, it's a "kids" cereal, but come on! It's me we're talking about! I refuse to conform to the confines of a mature adult existence! I can happily report that Gorilla Munch also has 2 grams of dietary fiber as opposed to its counterpart that is sitting on my pantry shelf which has zippo fiber! I will take fiber where I can get fiber, thank you very much!
This Rice Twice business is like eating Styrofoam peanuts drenched in milk! I had to "Pour Some Sugar On" it just to make it palatable and that's a nutritional contradiction right there. Hmm, I wonder if there is such a thing as gf marshmallows that might be the only hope for the remaining contents of this box!
*FUN FACT: Did you know that gluten intolerance and lactose intolerance walk hand in hand? No wonder I was so miserable, not only had I stripped my small intestine of all its villi-hairlike structures that absorb nutrients and increase the surface area of the s.i.-BUT the tips of those villi were long gone and guess what breaks down lactose? You guessed it, lactase. If the tips are non-existent, as they were in my case, I literally made myself lactose intolerant. Needless to say, I have been treading lightly when it comes to dairy but I can now enjoy cereal without disastrous and bodily consequences immediately, after an hour, and sometimes lasting the duration of an entire day, thereafter.
