SUMMARY of responses:

5 people mentioned that the real issue is
cross-contamination.

10 people said they (or their kids) eat the cereals
with no problems.  Many of these (about 7 or so)
mentioned that they are sensitive or very sensitive to
gluten.

2 people said they have eaten the cereals and had a
reaction.  One said they got the reaction the third
time they tried Cocoa Pebbles, probably due to
cross-contamination.

2 people said they wouldn't eat it, wouldn't take the
chance.

1 person specifically said that Kraft assured them
these cereals are gluten-free.

1 person specifically pointed to the Post website
which says they are *not* gluten-free (but doesn't say
why).  Actually, it says all Post cereals are not
gluten-free.

1 person said that Fruity Pebbles is gluten-free, but
Cocoa Pebbles isn't because of a form of barley in it.


A couple of people mentioned other similar cereals to
try which are more likely to be GF and maybe not have
cross-contamination issues:
Quaker brand Dyno bites (in the bag)
Maltomeal brands of these cereals
Amazon cocoa rice and panda puffs

Happy GF-eating!

Debbie
