It's probably the whole grain part that he has an issue with. All General Mills

cereals are whole grain. Chex does have processed corn but it has whole grain

corn as well. This can trigger reactions in our kids.

All the best,

I was told corn flakes or rice crispes.  Raisons have made my son hyper in the

past so I try to avoid them.

.... and according to Dr. G., he reason the whole grain is a problem is

because our kids are generally more reactive to it... it can fire up their

immune systems. When the grain is more processed (i.e. white flour), he

says their bodies are less likely to recognize it and react to it. So while

the processed grain may be less nutritious, it is actually more

hypo-allergenic.
