Gluten can be a big problem for those who have celiac disease, or even those who don’t. So many products are going gluten free now. Even though I do not suffer from have celiac disease, my stomach bloats like crazy whenever I eat gluten! Anyone can have a gluten intolerance and it’s becoming more of a problem for many people, even children! My daughter finally outgrew a ton of her allergies and can finally eat regular Cheerios ™! That being said if and when we can, we like to avoid gluten. I have a few family members who have a gluten intolerance and celiac disease so we like to have options in our home for us and them as well.
When my cousin was diagnosed with celiac disease it was really hard. He loved pizza, cookies, cakes and pretty much anything with gluten. It was extremely stressful and hard to figure out his new diet. When we had them over I made every effort to make sure that all of us could enjoy. I made the most incredible tacos with all gluten free ingredients. I even made it a point to shred the cheese as sometimes those pre-shredded cheeses may have a caking agent to keep it separated.
Cheerios ™ are a great first cereal (aside from rice and oatmeal) for babies. Many people are now born with these gluten intolerances and this is a great way to give your baby the cereal we grew up on! Cheerios ™ are always made with Whole Grain Oats as the first ingredient! General Mills developed a process to remove the wheat, rye and barley from our supply of whole oats in order to ensure that the oats in Cheerios ™ are Gluten Free!
