I have apparently developed an intollerance or allergy to wheat. I've
been aware for awhile that wheat caused a lot of gas, but recently I
developed an itchy rash, similar to the rash I get from dairy products
(after 50 years of lots of dairy products I developed an allergy to milk
protein). I stopped eating wheat for about two weeks and the rash
mostly disappeared. Then after eating wheat for breakfast and dinner
Monday, I had the most obnoxious gas for two days and began itching
again.
My question - if I'm allergic to wheat, is it apt to be the gluten? Is
there a chance that I will develop a reaction to all gluten? Does anyone
know if digestive enzymes would help in the digestion of wheat?
Thanks for any information you can give me.
