Hi there~

I was just wondering if anyone here knew if General Mills Little Einsteins cereal is gluten free? It *APPEARS* to be by the ingredient list and I have emailed G.M. but have not heard back from them yet. Thanks for any info!

1. How often does your child get glutened?

Not very often now. Maybe 2-3 times a year.

2. How long do symptoms usually last?

She has several lose stools and abdominal pain for about 12-24 hours after contact. It takes a few hours for it to kick in but then she feels terrible.

3. Can you always identify where the gluten came from? Most of the time we can figure it out now.

4. How do you help them through a glutening?

Just TLC and sitting with her in the bathroom )-: She is 4.

5. How long has your child been gluten-free?

Since Oct 2004

I just had to go the the dreaded lunch room myself this morning about this very thing!

My 4.5 year old daughter is in preschool and they would not let her teacher heat her food yesterday. I was upset and MAD! She was in a summer preschool program - different campus though- and we had NO problems. This is the same school district so I thought it would carry over but I was wrong. All summer they had kept her lunch in the teacher's lounge fridge and then heated it up for her every day. Well at the new school yesterday they would NOT let her teacher heat up her lunch. She could keep it in the fridge but not heat it up...???

Crazzzy!

So this morning I had to go down there and explain to them nicely what the situation was and that she had to have her food refridgerated and heated JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER CHILDEREN ARE ENTILETED TO.

When I put it like that the lunch ladies all had a turn around (-;

I would go the principal in your case and hope that will be as far as you have to go. But if you dont get what you need out of him/her- go to the superintendent. Good luck and I feel for you!

Hi Kristin,

Sounds a lot like my Casey when she was dx'ed in 2004. We live in Arkansas and see Dr. Maryelle Vonlanthen at Arkansas Childrens Hospital. She is just incredible and while not in TN--she would be well worth your time to check her out. Good luck!

Yep they are gluten-free. My 4 year old celiac daughter has been eating them for almost 3 years now. Those are the best little snack crackers. The ranch ones are her personal favorite!
