Wheat Intolerance and Gluten Intolerance (Celiac)

 . . . the Difference Between Them

If you react badly to Wheat - then you probably have Gluten intolerance: up to 1 in 7 people are affected

Wheat intolerance: (Usually Gluten intolerance): Symptoms are delayed onset reactions caused by the inability to digest Gluten (contained in wheat, rye barley and oats and other grains). Reactions can be hours or days later. Gluten intolerance affects 15% of all people - or 1 in 7.FAQs on Wheat intolerance

Wheat allergy: is the immediate severe sudden onset allergic reaction to various protein components of the wheat grain. It affects less than 0.5% of the population. When most people speak of wheat allergy they are really referring to the inability to digest wheat gluten - or gluten intolerance. FAQs on Allergies

Gluten intolerance (inc. Celiac Disease): Delayed onset symptoms caused by the inability to fully digest  Gluten - a very large and complex protein found in wheat and other grains. Gluten intolerance affects around 15% of people and is marked by dozens of seemingly unrelated symptoms. FAQs Gluten intolerance

  • Gastro-intestinal: stomach bloating & pain, diarrhea, flatulence, constipation etc.
  • Neurological: headache, memory loss, behavioural difficulties, depression
  • Immune: poor resistance to infection, mouth ulcers
  • Inflammatory disease: arthritis, colitis, thyroiditis etc.

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.

I think I might have food intolerance: What should I do?

Beginning with our free e-book, we can help you establish if you are suffering from gluten or wheat intolerance or if your symptoms indicate an intolerance to dairy, fructose or yeast. You may even be suffering from more than one food intolerance.

The research indicates doing nothing can be a risk. Undiagnosed food intolerance can cause serious long-term health problems like osteoporosis, anaemia and many others. Sign up for the Free e-book 'How to Tell If You Have Food Intolerance'
