I must admit that I'm a creature of habit. I almost always have cereal and
milk for breakfast. Celiac sprue has certainly minimized the number of
available cereals: I eat puffed rice. I've also found a brand of corn
flakes that contains just corn, but it doesn't taste too good. The good
news about puffed rice is that it is available in my regular grocery store
(not just in the health food grocery store) and the price is not bad: it's
one of those "bagged" cereals.

I've also found a wheat-free, gluten-free biscuit and pancake mix. On
special weekends, I'll have pancakes for breakfast.

If your kids have celiac sprue, but not diabetes, you might find some
sweetened rice cereals: I don't know. If you want to keep sweetened cereals
out of the house, you might try sticking with puffed rice and letting each
child choose the fruit to put in the cereal!

The good and bad news is that breakfast is the easiest meal to make
gluten-free.
