Repeated dehydration from diarrhea from gluten can cause permanent kidney damage. I have been advised by my kidney specialist to go to ER when this happens to prevent further damage. Hopefully you did dodge the bullet this time, but I would be careful and seek medical care in future.
Hi Melissa,
Cheerios states it tests to only 10-13 ppm but some boxes have been independently tested at over 20ppm. If you are sensitive, you should avoid cheerios. I react to it with stomach cramping, intestinal disturbance and diarrhea. I am also concerned with celiac.com reporting this cereal as gluten free. Canada does not allow it to be labeled...
