Catching up with the recent posts to the listserv, I was curious to read
regarding this cereal, which my celiac toddler also [initially] began to
enjoy after I had seen it identified as being GF and had confirmed its GF
status for my first purchase.

However, I did NOT check the ingredients on subsequent purchases.  (He
REALLY liked eating Cocoa Puffs!)  He had been diagnosed just over 1 year
ago, with modest improvement in symptoms (constipation, lethargy,
"clinginess", tiredness, etc.) upon initiation of the GF diet.  He had
negative antibodies at 6 months after extremely high anti-endomysial and
t-TG values upon diagnosis.  Going on one year out from his diagnosis and
eating GF, he had dramatically improved in energy level and disposition, as
well as growth, with little to no constipation.  He was a different boy!

And then we noticed that he started acting like he did when he was
diagnosed.  The only thing we could identify as having changed was the
addition of Cocoa Puffs, which we thought should have been OK.  Nonetheless,
we stopped the Cocoa Puffs, thinking that perhaps it could be a
cross-contamination issue with General Mills.  And he is now returning to
his improved self, which I would attribute to either or both of a
cross-contamination issue / ingredient change, as reported in the recent
post.

It was good to see some corroborating information to our anecdotal
experience.  Thank you!
