I used to eat Cheerios all the time as a child, as it was a great
snack and cereal! Of course, when I was diagnosed with Celiac at the age of 6,
we didn't want to focus on what I couldn't eat-so we focused on what I could
eat (there is plenty out there)! Oats are in fact gluten-free, but often come
in contact with wheat during the production phase , which is why you have to
buy certified gluten-free oats. I am very excited that the manufacturer of
Cheerios finally has decided to make Cheerios certified gluten-free through a
procedure that ensures the separation of oats from other grains during the
production phase. However, make sure you check with your physician if you can
tolerate gf oats, as not everyone with Celiac can!
