I’m not sure why there is an issue here? My son has a gluten allergy and breaks out when he plays with play dough that isn’t gluten free.
Niche product, sure. But definitely a market.
My son has celiac disease. Any amount of gluten man's him vomit violently for an hour. He's now old enough not to eat the playdo, but even the tiniest amount in his hands when he eats can be really bad. So I was happy this was available to ease this problem.
I also know hipsters will buy it just for eating it secretly at night in their basement because it's gluten free
Gluten free play doh kinda makes sense. Kids will put it in their mouth and IIRC, it's non-toxic because it's mostly made with flour and water. Making it gluten free and also non-toxic means kids with gluten allergies won't end up having a reaction if they eat it.
I guess the sand makes sense too with the same logic? But I wouldn't have thought that would normally contain gluten anyway 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah and in bad cases i heard even the slight contamination from other similar non gluten free products near it can cause severe reactions in people eith gluten intolerance. My main question is what you also asked, why does normal magic sand have gluten in it?
Why has it gone too far? Can children not be coeliac?
Means you’re probably expecting children to eat it? At which point you might have other problems?
Kids eat everything 😂
Have you ever seen a child?
Are they planning on kids eating the sand?
And yet my dad still has trouble finding anything that won't kill him if he eats it.
My brother found gluten free chocolate milk being sold in a big bottle, so we laughed real hard and bought two. He got more than halfway through before lookin at it and saying out loud, as we were heading to the camp site, "oh wait, I'm lactose intolerant" his girlfriend wasn't pleased, but I didn't have to share a tent with him so I was fine, an I got the rest!
Well considering how much kids just eat whatever the fuck they feel like, it's not the worst idea ever. I mean kids can have a gluten allergy, technically, just not most of the ones who's parents claim they do.
They can take gluten out of dream sand but they can't take dream sand out of gluten!
Ok, but is it PFAS free? Huh?
Similar to what other have said, I'm allergic to gluten. I helped my nephew with a middle school project where he had to build a tower from dry spaghetti sticks and marshmallows, and about five minutes in my fingertips were extremely itchy.
I also know my version of this is very mild compared to some.
