Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Roma is a hot beverage powder that is made from malt barley, roasted barley, and roasted chicory. Our family used it as a coffee substitute for years and years and it is delicious. Unfortunately celiac disease made it's presence known in our family and it is now on the 'banned' list for us. I really miss it, but for those who are gluten free, it isn't a safe food. http://www.mannaharvest.net/product_info.php/products_id/30955 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Hi, I am so sorry I didn't look at the label. It doesn't bother me so I thought it was safe.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 It's no problem for me Patti. May people can seemingly tolerate a small amount of barley malt, and I actually do allow the children a favourite cereal which is otherwise safe from time to time.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Could you switch to hot chocolate instead of coffee? Just an idea..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 You might want to read the info on the UK celiac society web page. They recently withdrew pretty much all cereals that have barley malt from their " safe " list. There are links there for the research on how much more damaging it was than previously believed. Now that several mainstream cereals are gluten free, perhaps they can transition to a truly safe cereal (unless they are not the ones on a gf diet and they eat gf to keep you safe). > > > > It's no problem for me Patti.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 thanks Karen, we rarely eat cereal anyway and when I say rarely allow them I mean like once in 6 months. I prefer to give the children something more substantial for their breakfast meal since they are all homeschooled anyway. We usually make a hot cereal from different non-gluten grains especially during the winter months with seeds and some nuts for protein balance. BL On 10/26/06, K.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Yes, it's hot ceral time here again, as well. But we go thru a lot of cold cereal (hubby, mostly), all gf in case I want any and to avoid worrying about crumbs or what is in the dishwasher (in case something doesn't come 100% clean, we know it is gf and can just be quickly rinsed off since it was sterilized in the wash cycle). I order the GF econo bags from Amazon -- it ends up being much cheaper than what the " normal " cereals cost (which are mostly box and packaging). With hot cereals, there are many more choices (and we also add dried fruit to the pot when starting it cooking, which adds even more variety). > > > thanks Karen, we rarely eat cereal anyway and when I say rarely > allow them I > mean like once in 6 months.
