Wheat-Free Guide

Always read ingredients and check with the manufacturer if you are not sure if something contains wheat, and avoid the food until you are sure. A wheat-free diet is almost the same as a gluten-free diet, except that it is less restrictive. If you are on a wheat-free diet and still having symptoms, you may want to learn more about celiac disease and the gluten-free diet, which also eliminates the close relatives of wheat.
