Does gluten-free mean individuals with severe wheat allergy can eat the product?
Not necessarily, you should consult your physician. Gluten-free foods are foods safe for persons with celiac disease. They have none or very low levels of the ‘gluten’ proteins that could be harmful to persons with celiac disease. Celiac disease is a t-cell mediated reaction. Wheat allergies involve an IgE-mediated reaction to the wheat proteins albumin and globulin fractions. In rare situations, gluten could also induce an IgE-mediated reaction.
