 not just for gf anymore! July 27, 2008

I love this cereal. Have gotten all my non-gluten free friends hooked on it so we can share the big order. Healthy, and not to much sugar.
Avoid GM Corn, Eat healthy June 27, 2008
L. Russell (Kyoto, Japan)
I have been tested and I am not allergic to wheat, but I have learned to listen to my body and I know for a fact that wheat makes my joints feel achy. As a result, I eat gluten free products as much as possible so I can indulge ocassionaly in pizza since here is no wheat free pizza available.
Having said that, I bought this cereal in December for the first time and I really liked it. I spruced it up with nuts, half a banana, and blueberries etc for that extra nutritional kick. I have no kids but it is not bland so I think kids would like it too.
As for the calories, I live in Japan where fried food and sweets are abundant calorie counting would be disasterous. I can't count calories, I really do prefer to walk, do yoga and pilates (I have achy joints so I need to excercise), avoid red meat, and eat everything else in moderation.
If you find this has too much calories, then pairing it with fat-free or soy milk instead of regular milk may help, use lightly steamed veggies to cut back on carbs from bread/rice during the day, or substituting an apple or celery sticks for a snack may help you stay within you caloric range for the day.
I gave it 4 stars for one reason though. People who are truly allergic to gluten are depending on accurate information when they buy food. While eating this cereal didn't cause my joints to ache, it is produced in a facility that handles wheat, so I think it could be disastrous for someone with a real gluten allergy. In fact one reviewer did get an alleegice reaction. That is not good.
All in all I like this cereal, it is organic, it has no wheat for the most part, and it has no GM (genetically modified) ingredients.
The best Gluten-Free Cereal I've Ever Had February 27, 2008
Erica Mulkey (San Francisco, CA)
It's healthy but tasty, full of fiber, slightly sweet. I'm sorry to hear that some celiacs have had gluten reactions to it; I have not. In fact this cereal has seen me through a few Bad Food Weeks -- when almost everything made me sick or was extremely unappetizing, this cereal with bananas or peaches on top did not.
I am, however, certainly looking forward to the day when "Gluten Free" is regulated and we don't have to worry that a product that was fine one day will make us sick the next -- because that batch happened to be produced right after a gluteny product. But for now I refuse to be afraid of a product that states it was "produced in a facility that contains wheat" because in most cases, good manufacturing processes protect us from cross-contamination. Also it's really hard to tell, at least for me, if a reaction I have is to gluten or to something else.
Healthy and delicious tasting November 30, 2007
Evelyn J. Schulte (Genoa, Ohio USA)
I ordered this product on the advice of a friend that had eaten it. I am so happy I did because this is a very healthy cereal and good tasting also. Sometimes you just have to jump in and try on the advice of a good friend. Being celiac, sometimes we are limited on products and this is certainly a great choice. I am also sharing with a friend and hope she too will choose to buy some of this.
