Are any of you currently on a Gluten Free diet? What are some of the side effects, if you don't mind sharing?

General Mills on Monday issued a recall of some Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios cereal because some that were labeled as gluten-free contained wheat.
The recall affects an estimated 150,000 cases, or 1.8 million boxes, made in July at its Lodi, California facility. General Mills cited "potential adverse health effects" for people with wheat allergies or celiac disease.
The company said it would take affected boxes from warehouse and store shelves. General Mills noted that wheat flour was "inadvertently introduced" to the gluten-free oat flour system in an "isolated incident.".
The recall includes four days of production of original Cheerios and thirteen days of production of Honey Nut Cheerios made in July. Cheerios tweeted how consumers can identify if a box they bought was affected.

A close friend of mine gets headaches when ever she eats anything with gluten in it. She was actually really excited to find gluten free Cheerios recently and I also remember her mentioning she also had a really bad headache recently she didn't know the cause of. I will have to let here know about this if she hasn't heard already, could be the reason she had such a bad one.
