I eat Gluten free, have since the fall of 2004. I found through some self diagnosis, because it is very hard to detect in a blood test, that I have a gluten intolerance. Since I cut out gluten from my diet I have felt so much better. There are things I miss that I haven't found a good substitute for but it is 100% worth it, no question. I'll post more on being gluten free another time as this post is for a new product I tried that I wanted to tell you about.
I'm always up for trying new things, especially if it's something I miss being gluten free, so when I was at the local health food store perusing I found something I had never seen before. Gluten free oatmeal. It was a variety pack and I didn't like all the kinds but got me thinking that I've never really been an oatmeal eater and I can't eat the commercial kind because there is cross contamination that occurs (like with Quaker oats) and it bothers me because of the contact with gluten. I then went to Festival and was looking in their natural foods section and found this new product. Eco-Planet Instant Hot Cereal. Three flavors. Original, Apples & Cinnamon and Maple & Brown Sugar. I figured I'd give it a try. This hot cereal is made mostly of whole oats but also has buckwheat, sorghum, brown rice, puffed rice, quinoa and millet. Lots of awesome stuff with great nutrition and fiber. I have tried the original (and added a touch of brown sugar with it) and the apples & cinnamon. Both were awesome. And at 150 calories per serving it is a great snack. I highly recommend you try this product. Enjoy!!
