As delicious as it is, I discovered that my body didn't react well to Cream of Wheat. Or, for that matter, ALL wheat products. I do NOT have any allergies to wheat products or even gluten alone. But my body's joint movement becomes much smoother after a week or two of no wheat products. I'm at the age where joint pain starts to become a bother; hands, shoulders, knees, etc., all feel much better when I stop eating wheat products. Those little niggling aches and pains, not enough to medicate, but enough to annoy, all seem to go away when I stop eating wheat products. There's an interesting book out there called "Wheat Belly" that explains the mechanics of this, but I didn't read it until about 2 years after I stopped eating wheat products. It was an interesting read, and anecdotally, I concur with everything it said! Stopping eating wheat products improved my health. Feels like a lube job on my musculoskeletal system. Strange but true!
