Quaker Oats Launches Gluten-free Products

Individual boxes of Cheerios were not tested. A large amount of boxes were combined and a sample from that was tested. The ppm was an average, which means there may have been boxes that had more than 20 ppm. There was no way of knowing.

This is not a comment on the product but just to say I am one of the celiacs that cannot eat oats. My doctors told me it was OK to eat gluten-free oats occasionally and the few times I did (on rare occasions) I developed dermatitis herpetiformis. I quickly put two-and-two together and stopped eating oats. No oats, no DH. I do miss them.....

I can not eat oats at all. I purchased a product that did not have Oats in it prior. I was wondering why I was having stomach cramps and living in the bathroom again. After going over what I had eaten; I re-read the ingredients and found cats were introduced. I had to throw the box out. I am hoping that all companies won't jump on the bandwagon to push Oats in all the food. I am a diagnosed celiac.

The gluten-free world has just gotten even more difficult to navigate. 20 ppm isn't good enough.

I completely agree.

As a celiac myself, I to go into shock being extremely sensitive to gluten.

The disease itself was slowly killing me until diagnosed but it has damaged my vital organs inside.

Liver disease, thyroid disease, chronic fatigue and diabetes. Never had these issues before.

I must get to the emergency room when not knowing I ingested gluten.

However I have tried the Quaker oats with no side affects. So far so good.
