Gluten-free getting easier

Some cool news: Kix, Rice Chex, (and possibly some other General Mills cereals) have been reformulated and are now GFCFSF! If you look at the old Kix ingredients, you can see they had gluten (whole grain oats), but they don't anymore. Jon called the manufacturer and also confirmed the cereals are made in a dedicated facility, which means nothing else with gluten is made there. This means more things are available for GFCFSF dieters at the regular grocery store, and they cost less than the specialty cereals we usually have to buy.

You knew it had to happen as more and more childrne need to be on a special diet. Way to go Genreal Mills.

Mama, it's also because of the growing recognition of celiac disease. The Rice Chex box I got even has a blurb about it on the side. :)
