i was also very excited to pick up my boxes of Cheerios this week. I know that I have had at least 5 or six bowls since and have had a bad reaction to them. I broke out with DH and severe stomach pain. I have been okay with other types of oatmeal that are made in fields only dedicated for oats. According to some reports I have been reading from those that were invited by GM to see the process they are using in order to clean the cereal they are not using dedicated gluten free oats. I don't know what others response to them will be. But I for one cannot eat them.

I have eaten from a Cheerios Honey and Oats box a plain old Cheerios regular and haven't had any reaction. I'm not full blown Celiac so it could be that I can tolerate a little more gluten than the Celiacs. Make sure the boxes are labled GF because they still have both boxes on the shelf. Then again, if they are going GF on the Cheerios product it could take some time for the full transition to take place, which will help minimize the leeching process.
