When celiacs eat foods that contain gluten, it creates "an immune-mediated toxic reaction that causes damage to the small intestine and does not allow food to be properly absorbed."

> > Since June, the mixes have been available in grocery stores nationwide. Plus, all of Betty Crocker Ready-to-Spread Frosting will be labeled as "gluten free" starting this fall.
