No disagreement there at all. I should have started with the oats don’t start out gluten free instead.

Personally, I do know a couple people who had reactions when they first came out. For me it was enough risk to say no to them, plus, I didn’t eat Cheerios to begin with.

I just didn’t trust their method of removing the gluten from the oats, it sounded like there was room for errors in the process.

I’m not sure if you are aware, but Cheerios aren’t actually gluten free. They use some crazy process to blow the gluten off of the oats with air… When I first read about it I decided I wasn’t going to try them. Since then, I believe the gluten free claim was removed in Canada.

If your family doesn’t have symptoms or feel ok after eating them, maybe they are comfortable with the risk.

It was a blog written by a young guy who had an amazing ability to put his struggles into words. I was an angry/sad teenager at the time and reading his blog made me feel like I wasn’t the only one. I hope he’s out there and doing ok. He loved the band Sloan and his family.

I’ve tried a few times to find a trace of his blog, and no such luck.
