This product cannot possibly be safe for celiac and [gluten]-intolerant people. More incidents rolled in. After the Cheerios reached my digestive tract my stomach started cramping, headache, and running to the bathroom very sick.
In April, a year-old-woman with celiac disease said: "I have noticed that every time I eat Cheerios Multigrain, Honey Nut, Very Berry I immediately experience severe gastrointestinal symptoms including abdominal pain, reflux and bloating that I have only otherwise experienced in the couple rare instances when I accidentally ingested wheat products.

A BuzzFeed News investigation, in partnership with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, based on thousands of documents the government didn't want you to see. This is criminal! And I eat GF oats without any problems. I started a search on the internet to see if there was something else in the Cheerios that was tearing me up, since there was supposedly no gluten! Appears that Gluten Free means something else to GM.
Thanks for the information, I will report, then throw this stuff away! I just ate a bowl of Cheerios labelled gluten-free and was sick within a half hour with unmistakable gluten symptoms. Sorry to hear this, Dave. This is very important to do. But no one else in my family but me has gotten sick!! I have not eaten them in years and decided to try the gluten free regular cheerios. I have a rash that I showed my allergist and she said it was a gluten rash.
I reminded her I dont eat gluten having sensitivity to gluten hops barley and malt. I was eating them almost everyday for a week. I wish it werent the cheerios but I dont know what else it could be. Tina, It is really important to contact FDA and share this information with them. You write that you have a sensitivity to gluten. Have you been tested for dermatitis herpetiformis the skin form of celiac disease? I am not diagnosed Celiac, but have been GF for over 2 years due to other autoimmune issues.
I was so happy to find GF Cheerios, but after eating 3 bowls of Honey Nut Cheerios in 2 days, I have been in excruciating pain for 2 full days now, and counting, Not sure if I just overate them, or the amount of sugar is killing my stomach, but I am a mess!!!
Sorry to hear this, Ivona. How is it OK to sell this stuff as safe for celiacs when there is absolutely no proof that it is?!? Celiac disease is a serious autoimmune condition! Any tips on getting the FDA to listen would be very much appreciated.
Call MedWatch versus using the form Tricia, this is kind of concerning. I have not eaten ofyen, but my children like it. I ate it a couple times over the summer and then again today. Always ends with diarrhea. I have eaten it in the past literally years ago and nevery had diarrhea. Katie, my recommendation is to contact General Mills and report your symptoms. Oats used in gluten-free products, such as Cheerios should have fewer wheat, barley, and rye seeds.
Regular commodity oats are highly likely to be contaminated with wheat, barley, and rye. I wish I came here and read these comments before I got sick as hell from Honey Nut Cheerios yesterday. When you have the intolerance you know how it feels and I could identify this as gluten sickness within hours of eating one bowl. I grew up as a child eating Cheerios, so it makes me sad to not have them any longer.
I hope they can fix this. Hi, keep feeling ill. Waking out of sleep with cramps so bad I cried. Googled if it was the honey nut cheerios and yep! I looked up the ingredients and I thought it was trisodium Phosphate which is used in paint thinner. Your email address will not be published. Notify me of follow-up comments by email.

Comments Definitely more gluten in some of those boxes than should be allowed by the fda. Could you please provide this recipe? It sounds wonderful! I am happy to report that I have been eating the honey nut cheerios without any issues at all! Why would anyone want to eat this garbage whether gluten free or not? It can be difficult to pinpoint the source of the problem on your own, so if it occurs consistently consult a qualified health practitioner to help determine the underlying cause.
Cow's milk contains a sugar called lactose. Breaking it down in the digestive system requires the presence of an enzyme in the small intestine called lactase, which some people don't have. If the lactase enzyme is missing, the lactose has to be broken down by bacteria in the large intestine, which can cause gas and stomach pain -- as well as bloating or diarrhea -- in some people.
Not everyone will have the same symptoms, and stomach pain may be the only symptom of lactose intolerance. Between 30 million and 50 million people in the U. Many children outgrow it, but it can occur through adulthood.
Unlike lactose intolerance, an allergy to milk can be life-threatening. Symptoms can include diarrhea, fatigue, headaches, abdominal pain, brain fog, rashes, nausea, vomiting, and other reactions.
