No. Wheat intolerance is an intolerance to wheat. Gluten intolerance is a for Wheat, Rye, Barley and Oats. They do sell some certified gluten-free oats. But regular oats contain gluten due to cross contamination.

If you're ONLY wheat intolerant, then yes, you can eat barley, rye and oats. Have you been diagnosed intolerant or did you stumble across is as many of us did? I would still suggest you do certified gluten-free oats as they may otherwise be contaminted with wheat.

It's important for you to know which, as it will dictate how strict you must be with your diet. There are foods that are wheat free, but may have barley malt in them (some cereals, for example). You could test this yourself by eating some pure barley, like in a soup with just broth or something like that.

If possible, I would still suggest testing to find out for sure.

WELL I GOT TESTED BY A VEGA MACHINCE BUT ALSO TESTED IT OUT I HAVE CUT OUT WHEAT BUT IM SURE THAT I AM GLUTEN INTORENCE RATHER THEN JUST WHEAT INTOLORENCE AS I DONT THINK THE RESULTS ARE ACCURATE AND YES I HAVE FOUND OUT MOST OATS RYE BREAD WHEATFREE CEREALS CERALS HAVE WHEAT IN THEM ANYWAY BY SOME FORM SO YES HAVE TO MAKE DOUBLE SURE WHAT YOU ARE BUYING

I WILL GET TESTED BY A DOCTOR TO MAKE SURE RESULTS ARE SAME

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thank you this really helped.

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—
