Rather an oxymoron, isn’t it? I recall this stuff being quite popular among gluten-phobic*  influencers craving the sugary cereals they grew up with.  
 

* I’m not referring to anyone dealing with celiac disease or other serious gluten-sensitivity issues.

Please delete "serious" from that post. You're not in any position to judge what another person might consider serious enough to adopt a gluten-free diet.

Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged.  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

Grainless granola seems to be available from a variety of vendors - TJ's has a nice one. Avoids the oxymoron issue. Purchased for someone who has IBS and needs to avoid the wheat (but not the gluten) - but I notice the ingredients include inulin which may just mean that it's not going to be suitable.

Well noted.  Unfortunately, the system isn’t giving me the option to edit the post as you request so I have reported it as offensive and requested that it be deleted.  
I will be more mindful of my adjectives in the future!

I totally disagree. @blue_dolphinwas not judging anything. My first wife (we divorced 45 years ago) died last week from a serious illness; I didn't diagnose it. I accept it was serious based on the evidence and a qualified medical opinion. Gluten intolerance has become a fashion among the 'wellness' shamans. There are undoubtedly serious gluten tolerance diseases. Self diagnosed fashions usually arent.
