Gluten issues are becoming more and more prevalent with the more information sharing is occurring thanks to the internet.  Many people suffer from issues directly related to gluten and until recently, there really hasn't been many choices for those that do need or prefer gluten-free products.  Once I started to learn more while researching how to live healthier, I was drawn to want to eliminate some of the gluten products from my family's diet.  We've never been diagnosed with it but I've read so much about gluten that I wanted to see how we would fair.  General Mills created an online community called LiveGlutenFreely.

LiveGlutenFreely.com is a site that offers gluten-free product news, articles and real life stories from people who are experiencing or trying to experience the gluten-free life.  There are also many recipes to help please yourself and family in pursuing a more robust guten-free life.  What you may not know is that General Mills has over 300 affordable gluten-free products available.  Subscribe to the LiveGlutenFreely newsletter and receive up to date information on new additions along with a host of other extras such as tips, recipes, coupons and more.

Gluten is a protein naturally found in certain grains such as wheat, barley, rye and some oats.  About three million people in America suffer from a serious medical condition called celiac disease.  Eating gluten containing foods causes damage to the lining of the small intestines which makes it difficult to absorb nutrients from foods.  Over time, this damage can lead to malnourishment and possibly other complications.

General Mills is also offering this great Gluten-Free Product Box that includes eight easy gluten-free products:  brownie and cake mixes, frosting, cereal, fruit snacks, mashed potatoes and a signature red Betty Crocker serving spoon for $24.95.

I received a complimentary Gluten-Free Product Box and I was more than pleased with the selection.  It contained all the products my family enjoys and it allowed me to sample some gluten-free products before I make a total commitment.   I can honestly say that I do not notice a difference in the products that are made gluten-free and feel they taste just as good as their counterparts.  My children enjoyed the fruit snacks, cereal and brownies.  They didn't complain and only said it was "great!"  I like the idea that you can purchase and send as a gift as well.  Not all areas or supermarkets carry such a variety.

Sorry to my readers in Hawaii, Canada, canal zone and international as this can't be shipped to those areas.  I know from past giveaways, those in Canada would definitely enjoy the same access.
