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

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
