Lucky Charms Now Magically Gluten-free!

I'm super excited about this! The last time I went shopping I was craving Lucky Charms. I can't wait till the gluten free version comes out.

My children and I are extremely excited about Lucky Charms gluten free cereal. It's a dream come true for my boys who have been asking for this ever since they started on a gluten-free diet 2 years ago. When I told my children their eyes filled with happy tears!!

Oh my goodness, not only will Lucky Charms be magically delicious but gluten free to boot. I am a very happy camper and can't wait for it to hit the shelves at my local grocer.

I'm cautiously optimistic. I can eat gluten free Chex. I can eat gluten free oats that come from dedicated gluten free mills. However, I cannot eat Chex "gluten free" oatmeal... it makes me very ill every time I eat it. I suspect that somehow cross contamination is happening on that product. If they will be using the same oats for this product, then I doubt I will be able to eat it either. People with celiac disease will need to be very cautious when trying this product if they are sensitive to oats, or oat cross contamination. I really hope that this product will be one I can have, as I used to love Lucky Charms as a child.

My daughter is thrilled that Lucky Charms is going gluten-free. She was diagnosed with celiac at a young age. While there are more options available than their used to be, the cereal section is limited. Thank you General Mills!

Please be aware that General Mills products are not GMO-free, and since GMOs have been connected to the upsurge of gluten intolerance beware of eating anything that contains GMOs.

I'm thrilled for everyone that can eat these! I react to oats so I have to pass, but they probably have a preservative in them anyway, so, I would still have to pass. Growing up Lucky Charms was one of my favorites!

There is no known link between increased use of GMO's and gluten intolerance.

This is my second attempt to respond as I see my response has not posted after several hours.

What I said before was that Kellogg's and Malt-o-Meal need to get on board as well. Several years ago they took cereals that had no gluten containing ingredients and added wheat starch to them because they did not want to bother with certifying them as gluten-free. Basically they they thumbed their nose in our face! Before they did this I was a faithful customer and bought their products often and had no issues as far as having gluten reactions to these products.

What sort of company purposefully alienates faithful customers? That is pure insanity in my opinion. They could fix it by following General Mills' lead in making their traditional cereals gluten-free.

To their credit, Kellogg's has come out with a gluten-free Special K, but have discontinued their gluten-free Rice Krispies. Perhaps General Mills success will knock some sense into the other companies.

Yay, I love Lucky Charms, I can't wait to try this! I hope there's more gluten-free cereals to follow. Cinnamon Toast Crunch in gluten-free version would be HEAVENLY. I haven't eaten it since I was a kid!

I am super excited about this! Now if They can ever come up with a gluten-free version of Raisin Bran I would be set! Love me some RB and LC but hate the way I feel after eating it!

The gluten free Chex oatmeal makes me sick too. I do Trader Joes gluten free oatmeal with no problems.

I always wonder about cross contamination with companies who produce so many gluten containing products.

I'd love it if Lucky Charms don't make me sick... but I'm also cautiously optimistic.

That being said, I know a lot of people aren't as sensitive so I'm happy for them.
