FOOD ALLERGIES - WHEAT & GLUTEN
Many people suffer from food allergies, which can cause long-term digestive
disturbances and challenges for the immune system & body. Bovine (cow) Dairy and Wheat & Gluten allergies are some of the most common.
Gluten is a protein in the grains:
oats, barley and wheat – and all wheat family grains, which are rye, triticale, spelt and kamut.
Some people are only allergic to wheat, some to all gluten grains, some can
tolerate spelt and kamut, but not modern wheat. Many people find it easiest to
avoid all gluten products. There are an increasing number of gluten-free
products & resources available including:
• Living Without Magazine - devoted primarily to Gluten and wheat free
information, but also deals with other food allergies including Dairy.
• The Gluten-Free Gourmet, Bette Hagman. Henry Holt & Co 1990,
ISBN 0-8050-1210-9
Also: The Gluten-Free Gourmet Cooks Fast and Healthy; More From the Gluten-Free
Gourmet
The Gluten-Free Bible, by Jax Peters Lowell, Henry Holt, NY 2005 isbn:
0-805077464
• www.marysgonecrackers.com - wheat-free and gluten free line of crackers with flax and sesame seeds
If you are traveling and non-wheat and/or non-gluten options are scarce, you
might want to try Glutenzyme enzyme capsules from Pharmax Nutriceutical &Biophysical Systems.
These do not work if you have celiac disease, but rather are gluten or wheat
sensitive/allergic.
