More and more young children are becoming gluten-free or are allergic to gluten and schools are working on getting more gluten-free lunch and snack options. Parents are becoming concerned with Play-Doh because it's not gluten-free kids are having allergic reactions to it. One of the main ingredients in Play-Doh is wheat however, but companies are working to find other ingredients for it. Preschools are buying gluten-free dough for children to plat with and sales have increased 67% and last year, over 50,000 containers were sold. Kids get rashes as well as bloodshot eyes when playing with gluten Play-Doh, so this new dough will be much better for them.

Is it because the kids are all eating the Play-Doh? Or does just touching it give them this reaction?
