I eat your gluten free cereals all the time. Chex, Cherrios, etc... Yet I mever buy your product? That may not make sense to you or the title, so please allow me to explain. I have three kids 16, 5 and 1 years of age. I have always been thankful that your products are available on wic. Yet we have always ate the cereal as a last resort too, because although it tastes fine we have always had tummy aches after. I have been gluten free for only the past three and half years, yet despite your gluten free items we still get tummy upset. I Just found out recently (earlier this year) that I have the mthfr gene mutation c677t that means I can not process folic acid very well (a man made synthesised chemical that mimics folate) So this explains the tummy upset. Cereal is a quick and easy food in the morning for every parwnt or busy person and breakfast is very important for children to learn and grow, but folic acid is not as important as man once thought. Since being diagnosed I have learned that 50% of the population most likely have this type of gene mutation. So although you products may taste good people may not be eating them due to the adverse side effects to the folic acid. I am happy that you are an honest company who lists ingredients accurately. However, I wish my children and I could eat our wic approved foods without consequences of tummy upsets. Please revise your food products to exclude folic acid for the health and saftey of the hungry who are at most need. Thank you
