What is the difference between a Wheat Free and Gluten Free diet?
A gluten free diet is the next level up from a wheat free diet. With the wheat free diet you only have to remove wheat products from your diet to avoid getting unwell. However, with the gluten free diet you need to not only cut out the wheat from your diet you also need to make sure that you don’t eat things like barley, rye and Oats as well because these contain gluten. So, If a doctor diagnoses you as gluten intollerant (as opposed to having Coeliac Diease ) you’ll have a bit more work sorting out an appropriate diet compared to someone that is just allergic to wheat. Summary Eliminating Wheat from your diet isn’t easy, but it is achievable. If you spend just a little more time checking carefully what you buy from the shops and cut out the major offenders like bread and pasta, you should be able to limit your exposure to wheat and therefore lessen the chances of suffering IBS related symptoms as a result of eating wheat.
