"we're removing this specific episode from our steady programming schedule and will re-evaluate its references to gluten restrictions in the character's diet. Please accept our apologies for the upset this episode caused you and your family. We value your feedback and thank you for watching Disney Channel."

Several jokes are created about his condition, including the leading character Jessie pointing out that Stuart had a five-page list of his dietary requirements.
