How Do You Test for Wheat Intolerance?

Temporary treatment: Some people choose to treat the symptoms of Wheat sensitivity (or other food sensitivity) with medications like anti-histamines or supplements. But this gives only a few hours relief - and it means you have to keep buying and taking pharmaceuticals your whole life - and keep tolerating their side effects.

Permanent treatment: Choose the natural no-drug solution. We believe it's much better to go to the source of the problem - and simply remove it. That is - identify your food intolerance and then substitute that food for another delicious food.
