Wheat Allergy

[Tina81980]

Hello...I posted here about a month ago reguarding some symptoms I have been having. Well, I haven't been tested yet, but my 21 month old daughter recently had some allergy testing done that came back with the following food allergies: soy, peanut, almond, milk, and wheat, so I am looking for some websites that have some examples of wheat/dairy free foods that could be found in the grocery or even some special order web sites. I was also wondering if she is allergic to wheat should I look into celiac? I believe celiac is more of an intolerence (i think correct me if I'm wrong) but should it be looked into? Thanks

I think it would definitely be worth looking into. Have your doctor run a blood test, it's a tTG and total IGA serum. Especially since I see developmental delays and Aspergers in your sig.

All food labels have to note if there products contain wheat.

Cocoa puffs and some of Barbara's Cereals are wheat free.

Van's frozen waffles, Oscar Mayer hot dogs, Mountain High yogurt, Lay's potato chips, some Amy's soups and some Amy's frozen meals are wheat free and found in regular super markets. Lots of Kraft and Hershey's products are wheat free and have clear labels if they do contain wheat.

Grits, polenta, quinoa, lentils, latkes, potatoes, corn, rice, fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, etc. are naturally gluten free as long as they aren't processed with other stuff.

There's a magazine called Living Without that has good information. Some websites would be www.gluten free.com; celiacspecialties.com; glutenfreecookiejar.com; gilliansfoods.com; glutenfreemarket.com; Other brands are Kinnickinnick, Ener-G, Namaste, Enjoy Life, Glutino, Mrs. Leepers, Dr. Schar crackers and lots of them have websites as well.

Wheat free products may still contain rye, barley, and other ingredients that celiacs cannot tolerate.
